This month, Marg Couch Joined the celebrations marking five years since Whitton Malt House first opened its doors. What began as a bold vision has become a destination loved by locals and visitors alike, a place to gather, dine, educate and celebrate.
The celebration dinner last week showcased the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our region. Roger Commins, his family, and business partners continue to inspire their commitment to growth and innovation. The team is now expanding with the first stage of a 22-stie caravan park, scheduled for completion in early 2026.
It’s exciting to see the next generation stepping up, with Manager Kaitlin Leonard carrying forward her father’s vision. Looking ahead, Whitton Malt House will host major events, starting with the Riverina Field Days in March 2026, followed by large-scale music festivals and more over the next year.
Congratulations to Whitton Malt House and all those who helped build the dream, on this remarkable milestone.
