Overview

UPDATE OCTOBER 10, 2022 - Due to heavy rainfall across NSW, the Southern Highlands Food and Wine Festival has been cancelled. However, the Australian Annual Highland Wine Show is going ahead as planned on October 28. For a full statement from the event organisers, visit the website.

The Southern Highlands are known for their cool temperatures, sweeping roadside vistas, cosy cafes and delicious food and drink options. We've all probably driven through the Highlands at some point (being as they are only 90 minutes from Sydney), but it's time to drive to them and explore what's on offer. Your excuse? Make a trip out of the Southern Highlands Food and Wine Festival. Hosted at the Moss Vale Showground, it's a weekend no NSW foodie should pass on.

Though the festival itself doesn't start until Saturday, October 29, a full trip should include visiting on the evening of Friday the 28th for the annual Australian Highland Wine Show Awards Night, a cocktail event where you can sample premium local wine while the judges choose the best wine grown in cool climates above 500m for the prestigious title of Australia's Best Wine with Altitude.

At the main weekend event, you can take in live music while experiencing the best that local producers, wineries, distilleries, brewers and restaurants have to offer, so we suggest coming with an empty stomach to make the most of the smorgasbord of Southern Highlands delights. For something a little more intimate, visit the Olsson's Salt Sessions tent for hands-on workshops with local food and drink masters Colin Fassnidge (Banksia Hotel), Alex Prichard (Icebergs) and Mark Labrooy (Three Blue Ducks).

The Southern Highlands Food and Wine Festival will be running from Saturday, October 29 to Sunday, October 30 at Moss Vale Showground. Ticket prices vary (kids under six enter free) and Olsson's Salt Sessions VIP tickets are sold separately. For the full lineup and more details, head to the website.
