    About High Country

    Escape to the breathtaking beauty of Victoria's High Country, a region where towering peaks meet verdant valleys, offering an unforgettable blend of adventure, relaxation, and gourmet delights. Just a few hours' drive northeast of Melbourne, the High Country invites you to experience Australia at its finest. Imagine carving down pristine slopes at Mount Buller, Victoria’s premier alpine resort, where the thrill of skiing and snowboarding is matched only by the stunning panoramic views.

    In summer, trade your skis for hiking boots and explore the same majestic mountains, enjoying the fresh alpine air and vibrant scenery. Beyond the snow-capped peaks, a world of discovery awaits. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of flavours at Brown Brothers Milawa Vineyard, a pioneering winery where innovative winemaking meets exceptional dining at Patricia's Table. Indulge in cellar door tastings, learn about the art of winemaking, and savour exquisite regional produce.

    For the adrenaline junkies, Bright Adventure Company provides guided mountain biking tours, rock climbing experiences, and canyoning adventures, allowing you to explore the High Country's rugged beauty from a unique perspective. Whether you're seeking a thrilling outdoor escape or a tranquil retreat, the High Country promises an adventure you'll never forget.
