Start mid-morning with a leisurely stroll along the banks of the Tooma River, then head to the nearby Tumbarumba Wineries Precinct for a tasting flight of cool-climate wines at Phelps Grove Wines or Wau Wauka Estate (many open from late morning). Pause for a long brunch of local cheeses and seasonal produce at Tumbarumba Bakery & Cafe, then pop into the Tumbarumba Folk Festival grounds (if open) to browse local crafts and fresh produce stalls before your midday activities.
Spend a relaxed afternoon driving the scenic Snowy Valleys Tourist Drive to visit Silos Wines for a cellar-door tasting of cool-climate shiraz and chardonnay, then wander the grounds and meet the winemaker if available. Follow with a riverside picnic and short walking loop at Blowering Dam Reserve, where shady gums and water views make for a peaceful pause before an evening of local fare back in town at a recommended farm-to-table bistro.
As the sun softens, enjoy a relaxed dinner at The Tumbarumba Hotel Bistro, sampling local trout or a seasonal lamb dish paired with a nearby cool-climate wine; book a table around 6-7pm to match local kitchen hours. After dinner, take a short after-dark stroll through Victoria Park to watch the stars and listen for night birds, or pop into Tumba Brewing Co. for a nightcap and a tasting paddle of craft beers made from local water and barley.
