Taste Riverina highlights local business efforts during lockdown

Taste Riverina has responded to the 7 day state-wide NSW lockdown, announced on Saturday 14th August 2021 (since extended by a further 7 days), by stepping up their program of promoting Riverina-based food and beverage growers, producers, makers and sellers on social media.

Operated by Visit Riverina (the Riverina’s regional tourism organisation), Taste Riverina is encouraging everyone to support our local businesses by purchasing vouchers, getting takeaway food (within 5km of home / your local LGA) and buying online either for yourself or for loved ones you can’t be with right now.

Visit Riverina Chair, Brent Lawrence, says “We know that our local businesses are doing it tough right now after a really turbulent 18 months of interrupted and changing trade conditions. The Riverina is a diverse region with an abundance of local produce, and cafes and restaurants that highlight the quality food and drink that is grown and made here. It’s important for us to support each other during this time and Taste Riverina is ready and willing to promote what people are doing to get through it.”
