Make your own

Bring a piece of Victoria home with you, next time you book a stay in the regions. Be inspired by local craftspeople, artists, providores and producers, and learn a new skill along the way.

Catch a cooking class at restaurants, wineries and purpose-built schools around the state. Pickle and preserve seasonal produce, found fresh from local markets and farm-gates. Craft a piece of jewellery, a macramé wall hanging, or a colourful mosaic. Attend a ‘paint and sip’ class at a winery, where you'll create a masterpiece, while drinking in the view of peaceful pastures and verdant vineyards. Or, rediscover a lost trade, such as woodworking, blacksmithing, toy-making or knitting.
