Berrys Creek Cheese, South Gippsland, Victoria

South Gippsland is a lush dairy and food region in Victoria, known for rolling green hills, high rainfall and a long tradition of farming. It is also home to Berry’s Creek Cheese, one of the region’s celebrated artisan cheesemakers.

A landscape shaped by dairy farming

European settlement expanded through South Gippsland in the late nineteenth century, when fertile soils and reliable pasture helped establish the district as an important dairy region. That agricultural backbone still shapes the landscape today, with dairy sitting alongside grazing, horticulture and a growing community of small producers.

Food, wine and local makers

South Gippsland has become a rewarding destination for people who enjoy good food with a strong sense of place. Nearby Fish Creek and Meeniyan are well worth exploring for local produce, galleries, cafés and country hospitality, while the wider region is increasingly known for cool-climate wine and thoughtful small-scale makers.

Berry’s Creek Cheese belongs naturally in this landscape, transforming local milk into distinctive cheese that reflects the richness of the region around it.

When to visit South Gippsland

Late summer and autumn are particularly lovely, when the countryside remains green, farm gates are busy and the coast is at its most inviting. Take a leisurely drive through the hills, seek out local food along the way and allow time for nearby Wilsons Promontory, one of Victoria’s great coastal landscapes.
