With an abundance of wineries, cafes and fresh produce farms in the West Gippsland region, the Open Studios tour map reads like a treasure hunt for the senses; a brilliant excuse for a country drive, to venture off the beaten track, switch off to the modern world, see some inspiring artwork, eat, drink and navigate the spectacular scenery.

Has there ever been a more blissful way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon? I’m honoured to be the Open Studios West Gippsland ambassador and encourage you to experience the Open Studios journey. With such a diversity of great local artists living the country dream in the region, you are bound to be inspired by all the creativity and beauty West Gippsland has to offer!
