Located in the heart of the NSW Riverina, Griffith is not only the ‘food bowl’ of NSW, it has also grown to become a vibrant, multi-cultural city, with plenty of reasons to visit!
Italians have been living and working in Griffith since the early 1900’s, and with them they brought some of their finest traditions. At Calabria Family Wines, you can explore the wine museum, and ‘sensory wall’, and meet the winemakers too. For a truly authentic experience, there’s a world- class cellar door on-site, where you can sample the full range of wines, paired with dishes from an Italian- inspired menu.
The Italians brought great wine to Griffith, and they also brought fantastic cuisine too, and one legendary bakery has been in the same family for generations!
Bertoldo’s Pasticceria is a town icon in Griffith, churning out home-made Italian sweets, bread, and savoury items too. There’s house-made nougat, biscuits, gelati, and one of Italy’s best-loved desserts- cannoli!
To really experience the history of Griffith, head to Pioneer Park Museum, where you can step back in time, and experience Griffith in the 1900’s. A collection of museums, highlights include Bagtown ‘Old Griffith’ main street, The Italian Museum, and the Wine and Irrigation Building, which narrates the local wine industry and irrigation story that transformed Griffith into the NSW ‘food bowl that it is today.
First stop, for any visit, is the Griffith Tourism Hub, with all the info you need, as well as a fantastic, interpretive display.
From the early settlers to the Italians, it’s the people, the hospitality and the traditions they brought, that put Griffith on the map!
