Golden history

Uncover wealth of a different kind, with Beechworth's abundance of city-quality eateries. Compete for a reservation at Provenance, which joins Wardens Food and Wine as regional culinary hotspots. Enjoy long lunches at the Green Shed Bistro and Gigi's of Beechworth or munch on pizza and beer at Bridge Road Brewers.
Study restaurant wine lists for local cool-climate chardonnay and pinot noir. Call ahead to visit wineries for drinkable souvenirs.
Heritage shopping
Delve behind period shopfronts containing fine antique stores, craft shops and boutiques. Stock up on cheeses from Larder and keep the bees busy at Beechworth Honey.
