If you like to combine a love of food and wine with travel to discover new towns, landscapes and people, then take off on a tasting journey and experience Queensland like never before. Although the history of the Queensland wine industry dates back to the 1800s, when a small patch of vines were planted at Ballandean on the Granite Belt, the industry has grown significantly in the past ten years.
Today, the quality of Queensland wines is now recognised as among the best in Australia. While Queensland's wine industry has been increasingly recognised, the State also has a large and diverse food manufacturing industry. As a gourmet paradise, Queensland is famous for its tender beef, succulent seafood and tantalising tropical fruit, but as you travel you'll also discover unexpected delights like sheep's milk cheese, coffee, vanilla beans, truffles and bush tucker. Now the best of Queensland's food and wine is easy to find with the new Queensland Food and Wine Touring Atlas.
Written and compiled in conjunction with the Queensland Government, this book is the ultimate guide to enjoying all the food, wine and beverage experiences there are to enjoy in the state of Queensland. The guide gives detailed information on towns located in each region, food and wine-related festivals and activities, and comprehensive business listings.
Detailed inset maps and atlas pages actually show where each region can be found and makes it easy to locate businesses. There are important contacts, background on wine tasting, and helpful map references within the text. You'll even find recipes for every region so you can enjoy all the locally produced goodies you take home from your adventure.
