Port Germein makes the perfect base to explore the food and wine areas of the Southern Flinders in a few easy day trip drives. Whether you’re looking for wineries, eateries, bakeries, markets, pubs or local produce there is plenty to keep you entertained.

For those wanting to hit the produce trail, orchards and organic fruit and veggies, as well as artisan products like olive oil, cured and smoked kangaroo meats, dried fruits, baked goods, and a whole lot more are available at farm gates or various farmers’ markets dotted throughout the Southern Flinders. If you want to kick back with a sweet treat, South Australia’s favourite ice cream, Golden North, is located in Laura.

Food can be a little different on the menus out here. Contemporary food gets a significant infusion of Australiana; kangaroo, camel, goat, and emu combine with bush tucker favourites like quandongs, saltbush, wattleseeds, bush tomatoes, lemon myrtle, pepper berries, and more to create mouth-watering delicacies throughout the region.
