Why visit Griffith

Just a 90-minute flight from Sydney, Griffith is rich in culture, flavour, and scenery. Explore the city’s deep Italian roots, where warm and welcoming family-run eateries serve up homemade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and gelato that rivals the old country. Time your visit to coincide with the annual ‘A Taste of Italy Griffith’ festival, and you’ll find the town buzzing with food, music, and a celebration of all things Italian.

Griffith lies in the heart of the Riverina wine region, known for its robust reds—think Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon—alongside lesser-known gems like Durif. The natural beauty around Griffith is equally striking. A short drive leads to Cocoparra National Park, where hiking trails wind through rugged landscapes and offer stunning views. If you’re a bird lover, keep an eye out for the colourful parrots and cockatoos that frequent the area, especially along the Murrumbidgee River.
