Welcome to Greater Shepparton
The City of Greater Shepparton is synonymous with great food, wine, waterways and weather. Greater Shepparton boasts a diversity of cultural, outdoor and sporting activities seldom found anywhere else.
Located only two hours north of Melbourne, the area features magnificent food and wine, glorious weather and all the attractions and activities you could imagine in a regional city.
The region has an international reputation for quality fresh and processed fruit and dairy products. The irrigation channels that criss-cross the region and the neat rows of fruit trees - bare in winter, blossoming in spring and bearing fruit in summer - provide just some of the contrasts of the region.
A number of Australia's largest food processing companies have their home in the Greater Shepparton area.
Early settlers discovered that the Goulburn and Murray Valley soils were ideal for not just stone fruit but also for the fruit of the vine, and established some of Victoria's - and Australia's - oldest and best wineries.
Many wineries can be found within an hour's drive of Shepparton, offering visitors the chance to sample an extraordinary range of excellent wines.
Restaurants abound throughout the region, offering an international taste experience to suit all palates.
Endless hours of fishing, boating, and other water activities are offered by the Goulburn, Broken and Murray Rivers and the Waranga Basin located between Tatura and Rushworth. The wetlands of the region are home to an abundance of flora and fauna and the magnificent red gums of the Barmah Forest hark back to the time when nature reigned supreme.
Visit historic towns to see the evolution of the region from the days of the early settlers to the dynamic City of Greater Shepparton of today.
Studios and galleries offer artworks for the discerning buyer and shopping in Shepparton is not to be missed.
All this can be experienced in a climate offering warm summers ideal for the outdoors and winters perfect for that indoor indulgence within an easy drive from Melbourne.
