Renowned Aussie musicians and the best of the Snowy Valleys’ food and wine venues will take centre stage at the inaugural Winter Bites Festival.

HOSPITALITY and tourism businesses across the Snowy Valleys region are preparing to welcome an influx of visitors to the region for the inaugural Winter Bites Festival.

Shared across the townships of Batlow, Tumbarumba and Adelong and staggered throughout June, July and August the event will shine a light on the high calibre of local produce from across the region, whilst featuring a number of high-profile artists.

The festival will showcase a ‘hero’ element of each individual town and its respective region including beef and lamb from Adelong; apples, hazelnuts and cider from Batlow; and cool climate wines, chestnuts and berries from Tumbarumba.

Over 30 local businesses, community groups and producers will also play a part in the festivities, taking turns to host fringe events, food and wine tastings, workshops, farm tours and cooking demonstrations.

A number of headline musical acts have already been announced including Australian country singer-songwriter and ARIA Hall of Fame inductee Kasey Chambers who will perform at the Adelong Showgrounds.

Two-time APRA award winning duo Busby Marou will kickstart proceedings at Tumbarumba's Courabyra Wines on June 5. Supported by Emily Wurramara, Babitha, Corey Flegge and Tumut senstaion Rory Phillips, the event will also incorporate fringe events around the key dates.

From Fireside dining at Nest Cinema, live music at the Union Hotel, a gin botanical masterclass, and a Sunday session at Tumut Brewery, the weekend will welcome winter with a great atmosphere.

The Winter Bites Festival is being supported by Destination Riverina Murray and funding through the Regional Tourism Bushfire Recovery (RTBR) Grants.
