Food & Wine
As food and wine evolves so has the Snowy Mountains witnessed many changes over recent years to tempt the palate, from cool climate wines, to a Schnapps distillery www.wildbrumby.com.au outside Jindabyne to the award winning Tumut River brewing Company, www.trbc.com.au
The Tumut region highlights the high country traditional hearty meals available in most pubs and for those who chase the Asian flavours the region has a couple of Chinese restaurants with Tumut the backdrop to Thai, Japanese and Indian cuisines.
Within an hour and a half one can travel though some of regional Australia’s heartland, the Riverina, and visit the Junee Licorice and Chocolate factory and have the full the “Willy Wonka experience. Visit www.greengroveorganics.com.au for all the organic produce and then travel onto the Coolamon Cheese factory, www.coolamoncheese.com.au before returning to Elm Cottage to savour and enjoy your fare.
For the more adventurous you can travel throughout the region foraging for cool climate wines, blueberries, truffles(when in season) and the famous fruits from the Batlow district.
The region offers the best of both worlds with restaurants or for those with a fancy for creating your own feast there is the local produce to forage and return to Elm Cottage to either prepare in your cottage or enjoy with family or loved ones at the river’s edge which bring us to the Snowy mountains famous trout. Yes cast a line in the Goobarragandra and then smoke your catch in the campfire, what better way to finish your day of adventure with a great meal while enjoying our magnificent sunsets.
