The region is surrounded by rich agricultural valleys with nearby snow fields, world class wineries, historic towns and villages. It truly is a great place to live or visit.
The Albury-Wodonga region is also a major hub for transport, retail and employment, with a rich restaurant and cafe culture. Added to this, the broader region is renowned for its incredible range of fresh and gourmet food production, combined with the stunning wine regions of Rutherglen, King Valley and Milawa.
There is also an exciting range of boutique breweries to tempt the tastebuds of each person attending your event.
