Food and Wine

Queensland offers a gourmet paradise with delectable, award-winning wines, organic produce, fresh fruit and vegetables and high quality seafood.

In Queensland you’ll find a wide array of cuisine suitable for all cultural or religious requirements - with Halal, Kosher and vegetarian food as well organic produce available to name a few.

Follow a food and wine trail and you'll be sipping on a Chardonnay or rolling a Shiraz around your mouth on a grape-fuelled adventure. Wineries are often located in picturesque settings and many offer the opportunity for picnics in grassy knolls overlooking vineyard slopes.

Pick up fresh produce and make your own antipasto with olives, cheeses, nuts and avocados straight off a tree.

If you enjoy seafood, Queensland has world class offerings. Sample Golden Perch, Silver Perch, Australian Bass and barramundi or taste a reef fish such as Coral Trout.

While Queensland beef has won international acclaim, you can also taste some native game meat including buffalo, crocodile, emu and kangaroo. Try some bush tucker - native fruits and seeds that have been enjoyed by indigenous Australians for centuries.

Dining out is a pleasure in Queensland. The state’s warm temperatures and frequent sunny days mean al fresco dining is popular in all regions.

Visit a farmers market, stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables from a produce stall or dine in elegance at one of literally thousands of restaurants throughout Queensland.

Australian cuisine at its finest blends bush tucker, Asian and European expertise in a unique taste sensation.
