3 Welcome to the Tumbarumba Region Tumbarumba is situated on the western side of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales, and boasts mountains, rivers and lakes, parks, forests and farms, and clean fresh air. The boundaries extend as far as Mount Kosciuszko in the south, and to the Murray River on the western border. The area is ideal for recreational activity such as bush walking, horse riding, fishing and cycling. The history of goldmining, timber and cattle, and the cleverly engineered Snowy Mountains Scheme has created an intriguing heritage. The snowfields of Selwyn and Thredbo can be accessed from Tumbarumba and Khancoban, and the Kosciuszko National Park offers stunning mountain scenery and a variety of walking tracks. Snow does fall occasionally in the town of Tumbarumba and surrounds during winter. The region also includes the township of Khancoban and villages of Jingellic, Laurel Hill, Rosewood and Tooma. Tumbarumba Visitor Information Centre is the first place to visit when you arrive. Conveniently located at the end of the main street, here our friendly staff can assist you with all the local information you will need, including what to see and do in the area, events and accommodation.

14 Attractions FOOD & WINE The cool climate of Tumbarumba makes the region ideal for growing blueberries and grapes. For blueberry growers, the chill factor in the winter months produces a very high quality blueberry, with intense flavour. Visitors can purchase fresh berries directly from the family-owned farm gates. The season typically operates from December until March. The region is also becoming a well recognised cool climate wine region. The wine industry was established in Tumbarumba in the early eighties and is therefore still regarded as one of the newest wine producing regions in New South Wales. There are approximately 330 hectares of vineyard plantings in the Tumbarumba region, with an annual crush of about 3000 tonnes. Tumbarumba s signature wines are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for sparkling and table wines. In recent years the newer plantings include Merlot, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Shiraz and Viognier. The majority of grapes produced in the region are sold onto the major wine companies, with small parcels of fruit staying in the area. Of the fruit that remains in the region, a select number of growers produce under their own labels. Such wines are available at the two local supermarkets.
