Tastes of the Goulburn was awarded bronze in the Festivals and Events category at the prestigious Victorian Tourism Awards on Thursday, November 21.
Held annually, Tastes of the Goulburn is a celebration of the food, wine, culture and people of the Goulburn Valley.
This not-for-profit event, run entirely by volunteers, has grown to become a highly anticipated regional festival, drawing locals and visitors alike while reinvesting every dollar back into the community.
Co-chair Anna Rogan said the win was a moment of immense pride for everyone involved.
“This award is a testament to the hard work of our dedicated volunteers and the incredible producers, winemakers and creatives who make Tastes of the Goulburn so special,” she said.
“It’s a celebration of the Goulburn Valley and everything that makes our region such a fantastic place to live, visit and explore.
“The recognition from the Victorian Tourism Awards validates the years of effort that have gone into transforming Tastes into a standout event for the region.
“It’s not just about food and wine, it’s about creating genuine investment in our communities and inspiring a sense of pride and excitement for what we have here in the Goulburn Valley.”
Tastes of the Goulburn will return on Saturday, April 26, from 10am to 4pm, and organisers are already planning for another fantastic celebration of food, wine and fun.
