About us: Murrindindi Food and Wine Inc
Operated by dedicated volunteer producers, Murrindindi Food and Wine Inc. offers vital support to its members and supplier-guide listed producers, through networking events, marketing initiatives, and industry development programs.
These efforts, such as the online supplier’s guide, meet-the-maker events, the group’s trademark, MURRINDINDI MADE®, business activities, and marketing initiatives, connect producers with consumers while enhancing the region’s produce sector.
Blessed by diverse natural resources, the Murrindindi region produces an array of high-quality producers, ranging from trout and beef to stone fruit, olives, and a variety of beverages. This abundance caters to every taste preference, making the region a culinary destination.
So who are we?
Originally named the Murrindindi Wine and Cultural Group, the organization expanded to encompass the broader scope of the Upper Goulburn region. However, in 2011, it returned to its Murrindindi roots, emphasizing its commitment to the local community and its “MURRINDINDI MADE ®” brand and registered trademark.
