Australian Culinary Delights

Australia is one of the world’s great food and wine destinations — a vast, sunburned country of extraordinary natural beauty and equally extraordinary produce, where the combination of a clean environment, a multicultural population, and a climate that ranges from tropical to subarctic has produced a food culture of remarkable diversity and ambition.

Modern Australian cuisine — a term that has evolved far beyond its 1990s fusion origins to describe a genuinely world-class approach to cooking built on exceptional local ingredients, Asian influence, and European technique — is now respected internationally as one of the most exciting and dynamic food cultures in the world.

From the extraordinary wine regions of the Barossa Valley and Hunter Valley and the wild seafood of Tasmania and South Australia, to the multicultural food melting pot of Melbourne and the harbour-fresh seafood of Sydney, Australia rewards the food traveler at every level — from farmers markets and roadside pie shops to some of the finest restaurants in the Southern Hemisphere.
