Discover Murrumbateman: Winery Trail, Horse Riding and Markets

Murrumbateman combines horse riding adventures on grazing land, a sealed wine trail and regional food and drink experiences. There are also markets featuring fresh produce and local crafts, as well as events with an agricultural and family-friendly focus. The options are particularly clear when planning your trip: some specify a particular route or set time, while others put food and regional produce at the centre. This lets you choose what you want your days to focus on.

Horse Riding and Cycling on the Winery Trail

Burnelee offers horse riding adventures on a fully operational 3,500-acre grazing property. The Murrumbateman Winery Trail has a different focus: this 14-kilometre sealed path is designed for cyclists and pedestrians. Starting in the centre of Murrumbateman Village, it takes visitors past eight wineries in the region and provides access to each winery.

The difference is clear when choosing between them: the Winery Trail specifies its length, surface and ways of getting around; Burnelee focuses on the riding experience on a grazing property. These offer two distinct activity options without needing to combine them into a single outing.

Markets, Agriculture and Regional Cuisine

The Murrumbateman Village Markets are held on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, from 9 am to 1 pm, on the Village Green at Murrumbateman Recreation Ground. They offer fresh produce and locally made crafts. The market combines a set location and recurring time slot with regional products.

Held annually over two days, the Murrumbateman Field Days combine agriculture with family-friendly country experiences. They have a different focus from the market: the Field Days centre on an agricultural and family event, while the market is a regular market day featuring food and crafts.

The Makers of Murrumbateman Moving Feast showcases wine, food, produce, artists, experiences and views from Murrumbateman on a culinary tasting tour. Guests travel from venue to venue and enjoy specially curated dishes paired with local wines. Moving between locations is part of the format—unlike the market, which is held on the Village Green.

The timing also differs: the markets are held on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, while the Field Days take place annually over two days. Check the specific market dates and the dates for the Field Days and Moving Feast before travelling.
