Food and wine around Young

Young and its surrounds are home to many different stone fruit orchards, wineries and gourmet food shops. Nicholas Jasprizza introduced cherries to Young in 1876 – the town and its cherry industry has been booming ever since.

About the Young Area

Rich in history and character, Young is centrally located in the Hilltops wine region, 150 km from Canberra. You can sample delicious cool-climate wines from cellar doors in the area – don't miss the premium reds from cabernet sauvignon to shiraz. The region is also renowned for its fresh produce, particularly cherries and other stone fruit. You can see cherry blossoms in full bloom during September and October.

The surrounding area is home to the charming towns of Boorowa and Harden. Don't miss the Historical Museum in Murrumburrah–Harden, where you can uncover the history of the Australian Light Horse Regiment. On Boorowa's River Walk, you may be lucky enough to spot a platypus at dusk or dawn.
