Food and wine: Tourist attraction in Australia

Apart from its gorgeous natural scenery and laid-back tourist-friendly
atmosphere that continuously attract tourist, Australia is also
developing quite a hospitality industry revolving around its choice
cuisine and virtuoso vintages.
It had been a natural leap for food- and wine-loving people like
Australians to share their passion with visitors and tourists, and then
to turn this into an income generating occupation. With the government's
guidance and support, Australia's food and wine tourism industry has
blossomed.

There now exists numerous tourism trips, picnics and other activities
that revolve around experiencing Australia's food and wine culture, not
just eating or drinking an individual food or beverage. Some of these
specialized trips for a few weeks up to a month. These packages usually
include touring around the wine regions and taking in the awe-inspiring
scenery that serves as the grand backdrop for the country's wine-making
industry, a chance to visit, live, dine and drink in wine estates
steeped in history, an opportunity to witness the up-close various
wine-making processes, and invitations to attend wine events.
Specialized food trips are also available, and can include picnics and
visits to food centers where different aspects and kinds of Australian
cuisine can be enjoyed. Food and wine pairing invitations also abound.
The most popular food-and-wine experiences in Australia include visits
to Canberra's poacher food trails, beach-side drink-and-dine trip in
Bondi, tropical fruit paradise in Cairns, wine-tasting in Swan Valley,
Yarra Valley and Coal River, cellar hopping in Barossa, and
food-shopping and -tasting in Darwin's Mindil Beach Sunset Market.
