On the first leg of our GrEAT Ocean Road Trip, we introduce you to a selection of brewers, winemakers, and chefs – all inspired by where they live.
Find out about the sustainability of micro-breweries and get to know why chefs such as Frank Camorra draw so much on our local produce to create unique menus that really reflect what the Great Ocean Road is all about.
