Boutique Art & Food Culture

OVERVIEW

Discover the creativity of Geraldine by browsing its art galleries and indulging in the cuisine of this foodie haven. For such a rural and agricultural town, Geraldine is remarkably cultured and sophisticated. You will see that firsthand while visiting the local galleries, mingling with the owners – who may be artists themselves – and watching a demonstration of gilding, a decorative art in which gold leaf is applied to an object. The food and beverage scene in Geraldine is just as inspiring. As you follow the guide through town, you will stop for tea, to sample small-batch gins at a boutique distillery and for beer tastings and lunch at the House of Hop microbrewery. The menu will likely include locally sourced venison and lamb, artisan cheeses and fresh-baked breads. Time will also be allotted for shopping in the one-of-a-kind stores. Hand-crafted jewelry and merino-wool fashions are among the most popular items.
