  • Nsw Food and Wine Trail – the Poacher’S Way
    RESTAURANT AUSTRALIA | MEDIA INFORMATION NSW FOOD AND WINE TRAIL – THE POACHER’S WAY Forge your own path through this hidden treasure of seasonal flavours, enticing wines and beautiful ceramics. Two and a half hours’ drive southwest of Sydney, the Poacher’s Way is a clever collective of artisans that covers the gamut of food, wine, crafts, spas, galleries and bed and breakfasts. The trail meanders in and around the villages of Bungendore, Hall, Murrumbateman and Gundaroo near Collector and Yass; it’s best uncovered by car as the distance between establishments can be 30 minutes or more. Travel the back roads of this beautiful part of NSW and while away your time over lunch or dinner at small country wineries and cafés, potter in galleries and watch craftspeople at work, and discover a slower pace of life. There’s a swag of seasonal flavours to enjoy in this part of the world, from the wintery bounty of profuse earthy black Perigord truffles to the delicate cool-climate wines that have earned this region international status. DAY 1: LAKE GEORGE TO MURRUMBATEMAN Lake George is a local landmark and is best seen from Lerida Estate, a winery with more than one string to its bow. Not only does the cellar door have amazing views over the lake, but there is a picturesque 1.5-km walking trail, a gem of a winery designed by leading Australian architect Glenn Murcutt and a petanque pitch for those who want a fun game to play outdoors. In the town of Bungendore, you’ll find a diverse collection of inspiring galleries and craft studios.
