At Border Cafe, our taste buds are really excited to learn that local company More Than Food has expanded its Foodie Tours events this year.

The tours are a wonderful way to showcase the abundance of fantastic produce in our region, as well as give locals a chance to meet the people behind the food, hear their stories and build a connection.

The first event is a King Valley Foodie Tour on Sunday 5 March.

Here are the highlights:

King Valley Dairy – Meet Naomi for a tour of the factory, where you can sample fresh butter, buttermilk and crème fraiche as part of a delicious morning tea.
