Bella Vita Riverina Tours

Bella Vita Riverina Tours leans into the thing that makes Griffith unlike anywhere else in Australia: its deep Italian heart. These are food-and-wine days steeped in la dolce vita — cellar doors, long lunches, hand-rolled gnocchi and the migrant story that shaped the Riverina's table.

On the Food and Wine Indulgence Tour you're guided through Griffith's wineries and producers, tasting local drops alongside regional produce. Prefer something more hands-on? A Taste of Italy and the gnocchi cooking classes put you behind the bench with the region's Italian-Australian cooks, while the 'Stroll Through the Soul of Griffith' walking tour traces the town's heritage on foot.

Griffith sits at the heart of the Riverina, one of Australia's biggest and most awarded wine regions, settled by Italian families whose influence still flavours everything from the wineries to the salami and the festivals. Bella Vita's tours move between cellar doors, food producers and the gardens and streets that tell that story.

The difference is cultural depth. This isn't a generic bus run — it's a locally hosted, Italian-flavoured experience spanning food and wine tours, cooking classes, agriculture tours, personalised days and seasonal spring festival and garden tours. You leave understanding why Griffith calls itself a little piece of Italy.

Tours range from half-day strolls and cooking classes to full-day food-and-wine experiences and personalised itineraries, with seasonal festival tours through spring. Departures are based in Griffith. Pricing depends on the experience and group, so reach out for a quote.
