 The UGFWCG Committee is deeply
saddened
by the loss of lives and losses of whole villages and townships such as
Marysville, Kinglake Ranges and Flowerdale within our region on 7
February 2009 due the Black Saturday fires. In fact nearly half of
Murrindindi Shire was ravaged by those fires.
Over 70 small
businesses and producers were decimated; our group will
be supporting the recovery and re-building stage by urging all levels
of government to provide the necessary ongoing funding to assist our
region in this time of need.
 Our major point of difference Trout and its farms have
lost stock and
had infrastructure destroyed, many of our boutique wineries have
suffered from smoke taint and fencing losses, restaurants, cafes,
artists and other small producers such as olives, fruit orchards, nut
farms, lavender farms and nurseries have also suffered huge losses.
Visitors to our region
can help by coming back to our region supporting
our events and our businesses, even purchasing a cup of coffee, or
Upper Goulburn wine or produce/ product assists our communities and our
businesses to stay viable!
Thank you; Australia and the world for your support in the Red Cross
Bushfire Appeal and for continuing your support by coming back to our
region.
Breathtaking scenery, delicious gastronomic treats and great music...
Imagine all the culinary delights and arts packaged in one very special
experience tailored just for you. A trip to the upper Goulburn Region
offers all this and more to visitors who seek the best in recreational
destinations. Wander through the magnificent Goulburn Valley by

Rich in history and fascinating sites the Goulburn River meanders from

  The Upper Goulburn Food, Wine and Culture
Group began in 2000, with a group of enthusiastic producers in
Murrindindi getting together to promote their products and the region.
In 2003 the group expanded to include the Upper Goulburn region,
covering Mansfield to Marysville, Kinglake to Ruffy and Strath Creek to
Merrijig.
What began as a few people sharing a common interest has developed into
an active group with a growing membership base across the region,
promoting the diverse range of products on offer.
Whether it be sampling a cherry fresh from the tree, sipping an award winning cool climate wine or indulging in a platter of local produce away from the rush of a busy life, you can be sure to enjoy the fruits of our labour.
Taste our passion, discover the magic.
