Aussies have learned from the best. Their chefs and wine makers have bent the rules and created a food and wine style all their own – by blending, chopping, shaking and fusing nature's sun-kissed produce to create a delicious melting pot of cuisine and award winning full-flavored wines.
Experience Australian cuisine with an Authentic Australia vacation package.
Whether you're in the mood for a perfectly cooked steak, Asian-fused modern cuisine, a racy Riesling or a crocodile sausage, Australia is the place to be with a food and wine style all its own. From mouth-watering European and Mediterranean influences through to the tantalizing spices of Asia and the Middle East and exotic bush tucker from their own backyard, your package tour to Australia can include choices that are vast and delicious.
A little more Australia's culinary experience is more than... well, food and wine. It's about hot air ballooning, country walks, cycling, horse drawn carriages, old steam trains and trams. It's about art, heritage and culture. Big bands and gentle opera. Making your own wine and picking your own produce. Being involved, relaxing, with lots of laughter and fun.
