and culinary creationists from around
the globe. You see, people in Victoria
are very passionate. They are passionate
about the health of the land. They are
passionate about the sustainability of
our oceans, and they are passionate
about the well-being and happiness of
their family and friends. Here, what
is important is doing what is right for
the health of the environment; sustainable fishing techniques on only the
healthiest and most abundant of stocks,
no-spray organic farming practices,
free-range, antibiotic free livestock, and
a climate perfectly suited for unique
grapes and hops. Keeping ingredients
close to home. Lending a hand and com-
ing together as a group to keep communities close-knit and strong. These are
the ingredients of a great life, and in the
hands of a great chef, these too become
the ingredients of great food.
The restaurants, cafes, bistros, pubs,
breweries, wineries and distilleries of
Victoria are unique not only in taste,
but in their support and perseverance in
these beliefs: take the best ingredients,
make the best food, and create the best
communities. One taste and you are
