Australia’s food and drink offering is delicious and diverse, serving up some of the best wine, spirits and cuisine in the world. But a food journey here isn’t just about what’s on the plate; it’s about how you savour it, connecting with the makers and the produce of the place, soaking up the scenic surrounds and sharing the experience with the ones you love. 



Ultimate Winery Experiences of Australia takes guests beyond the cellar door, offering exclusive experiences full of insight, history, hands-on connection and decadence. You can move between the countries best wine regions, taking part in private tastings, intimate degustations, insightful cooking classes, and more. Taste premium semillon matched with individually garnished oysters at Brokenwood in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley, take a journey through Western Australia’s Margaret River before embarking on a behind-the-scenes tour of Leeuwin Estate or indulge in a Prestige Experience, where you’ll be whisked away in a private helicopter over South Australia’s lush Barossa Valley before being dropped at St Hugo for a private tasting.  

It’s not just Australia’s wine that deserves the attention. Around the country, you’ll find distilleries crafting world-class, creative spirits with a uniquely Australian twist. Kangaroo Island Spirits in South Australia distils their Wild Gin with native juniper foraged from the coast of the island. At Archie Rose in Sydney, you can blend your own signature whisky and bring home a bottle, as well as the cask it was matured in. Also worth sampling is the Archie Rose Vegemite gin.


Australia’s food scene is just as exciting, with restaurants focusing on the inventive, the unexpected and the ultra-local. Each dish is a tangible taste of the earthy soil, clean water and rich landscapes that help grow the country’s beautiful produce. Brae in regional Victoria is all about unhurried comforts, while Sydney’s Aria serves up spectacular seasonal dishes alongside harbour views. Melbourne’s Attica embraces Australia’s overlooked ingredients, creating a refined yet relaxed atmosphere where eating with your hands is encouraged.


Experience unforgettable nature and wildlife

Australia is bursting with incredible activities, but a trip here is also about the simple luxury of being among some of the world’s wildest, unspoiled nature and seeing wildlife, much of it unique to Australia, in the wild.


Follow your passion for the outdoors on one of Australia’s Great Walks. You’ll marvel at the vibrant orange boulders on the Bay of Fires Signature Walk and the ancient, ethereal landscapes of the Larapinta Trail. But more than that, you’ll become a part of the place, finding a powerful connection not only with the land beneath you but those who walk alongside you.



To immerse yourself in Australia’s wildlife, explore the many experiences on offer from Australian Wildlife Journeys, all characterized by expert guides and underpinned by strong conservation principles. You can swim next to whale sharks in the azure waters of Exmouth in Western Australia, or spot tree kangaroos and southern cassowaries in Tropical North Queensland. Embark on an expedition, where you’ll have the privilege of accessing some of Australia’s culturally significant sites and most cherished ecosystems, brimming with crocodiles, birds, and buffalo.


Stay in luxurious lodges


Australia’s luxury accommodation is as much about connecting with a place as it is about a beautiful space to stay. Each corner of the country offers a unique scene, from the raw wilderness of Tasmania to the red dirt of the Aussie outback.


On the Great Barrier Reef’s Hamilton Island, you’ll find the impeccably-appointed qualia. The private pavilions frame a mesmerizing view of the turquoise waters and layers of Whitsunday islands on the horizon. Guests here have priority access to Australia’s only championship island golf course and can arrange private experiences like scenic helicopter flights over the jaw-dropping Whitsunday Islands. Also the Whitsundays offer immaculate coastlines and a truly memorable escape along with unforgettable dining, incredible underwater experiences, and luxuriously relaxed rooms.



Australia's southernmost state, Tasmania, is renowned for its wild natural beauty, and every step you take in this part of the country enhances your connections to nature. On King Island you'll find a blissfully secluded escape that flows onto a rugged coastline. Exceptional local produce and breathtaking wildlife are just a few of the treasures you'll find at its doorstep.

Discover ancient cultures


Australia is home to a wealth of unforgettable experiences, but few are as profound - or personal - as the journeys you can take into Aboriginal cultures.


Aboriginal cultures are both ancient and complex, dating back more than 50,000 years. Australia’s Aboriginal peoples are warm, welcoming and generous of spirit, inviting you to experience exquisite art, exclusive accommodation, ancient pilgrimages and unrivalled adventures. To share, discuss and learn from Australia’s traditional custodians is a truly special privilege. And for many, a treasured spiritual connection with the place.



Cape Cultural Tours shares with you the Boodja (country) of the Wadandi people in Western Australia. The Margaret River region will come alive as your guide reveals the Noongar seasons and the never-ending connections with the rivers, seas, animals and plants. You’ll walk along the spectacular Cape to Cape Track, hearing the Aboriginal interpretation of the surrounding seascape. Arrange a private, customised tour for an even more immersive experience.

Partake in premium adventure and sport

From remote island golf courses to secluded coves for fishing, Australia has so much to offer the avid or aspiring athlete and adventurer.


With an abundance of over 4,000 species of fish, lightly fished waters and over 36,000 kilometres (22,000 miles) of sparsely populated coastline, Australia is one of the world’s best angler destinations. The fishing experiences in Australia are as diverse as they are exciting, offering everything from deep sea fishing in the bright waters of Darwin to fly fishing in the rushing rivers of Tasmania.



One of the most spectacular fishing adventures available is heli-fishing in the Kimberley, one of Australia’s last true wilderness frontiers. With Helispirit, you’ll board a private helicopter to access remote waterways, your pilot bringing you to the very best billabongs and coastal flats.


Venture away from the coast into the heartland of Tasmania to fly fish with Driftwater, toss a line in the glass-like waters of Ningaloo with Ningaloo Fly Fishing or pull in kingfish and salmon right in the iconic Sydney Harbour with Sydney Flyfishing.



With seven of the top 100 golf courses in the world, golfers are spoilt for choice when it comes to world-class courses in Australia. From the championship Sandbelt region of Melbourne to the country’s only championship golf course on its own island, Australia has some of the best courses in the world, as well as unique greens worth seeking out. Play a round at the country’s most well-known course, Royal Melbourne Golf Club, or take on the wild and remote coast of Tasmania at Barnbougle Dunes Golf Links.

Best Cities to Visit in Australia


Sydney Australia’s largest city is most international visitors’ gateway to the country, and the view of the glittering harbour when they arrive on the plane provides an epic welcome. Marvel at the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, check out golden city beaches like Bondi and Manly, and catch a ferry for the quintessential Sydney experience.

Melbourne

Melbourne is the best city in Australia, if you ask me. I moved to Melbourne when I was 22, and have lived here for eight years (with a two-year break in New York City in between!). Considered Australia’s cultural capital, it’s the best city in Australia for enjoying the food, wine, culture, history, sport & shopping all rolled into one delightful package. Spend a long weekend exploring by neighbourhood & enjoying the city’s beautiful architecture, thriving hospitality scene and vibrant cultural life.


Rottnest Island Just a short ferry trip from Perth or Fremantle in Western Australia, Rottnest Island is a tropical paradise fringed by white sand beaches and turquoise water with one important difference: ‘Rotto’ is home to the quokka, an adorable cousin of the kangaroo that loves to bound up to admirers for a selfie.


Uluru ‘The Rock’ is the spiritual heart of Australia, located smack-bang in the middle of the continent. Explore the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park by foot, on a guided tour, in a hot air balloon, on the back of a camel or a Harley Davidson Just don’t climb Uluru, which is a sacred site to Indigenous Australians.


Great Barrier Reef

Live out your very own sequel to Finding Nemo at the Great Barrier Reef, which stretches along 2300 kilometres of the Queensland coast. Snorkel, sail and swim among the largest coral reef system anywhere on Earth, then put your feet up in the serene Whitsunday Islands.


Great Ocean Road

This is Australia’s best road trip, bar none. Spanning 243 kilometres of rugged Victorian coast west of Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road passes through pristine national parks, untouched beaches, charming seaside villages and photogenic rock, formations such as the 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge.
