Ten new artisan experiences have just launched as part of our first Artisan Experience Development Program!

Following BRT's successful application to Agriculture Victoria's Small-scale & Craft Program, we have been working closely with Natalie O'Brien and ten artisan agri-businesses from across the region to develop new and immersive agritourism experiences.

Congratulations to all those operators who participated in this Program, and a big thank you to the Ballarat Council Visitor Economy team for their extensive support.

From truffle hunting to beekeeping, the new series of Made of: Ballarat Experiences has been developed to feed visitors' curiosity and encourage them to learn more about what is made and grown in our region.

Ballarat's hospitality and tourism industry lost one of its greatest and beloved supporters this week, Vale Brad Fernando. Brad has been an unbelievable advocate for our industry and our destination, helping raise the bar for the wine poured, as well as shining a light on so many businesses across the region he loved so dearly.

On behalf of the Ballarat Regional Tourism Board, team, and members, we thank you for all you have done for us, and we promise to all continue to carry on the good fight.

Heaven gained an angel this week, and they'll certainly drink better up there for it. โค๏ธ

The 2026 Commonwealth Games are coming to Victoria! 09/08/2022

We spy Moon & Mountain, The Forge Pizzeria & Travis Price Illustration!

The Victoria 2026 Commonwealth Games certainly present a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the tourism industry of Ballarat and surrounding regions.

How our City and region will come alive for just over a week,17-29 March in 2026, as the best athletes across the Commonwealth come to Ballarat is still to be determined - and importantly costed - with the state government committing $2.6 billion to the games. It is yet to be revealed how the money will be divided across the state.

This is your chance to have your say! The State Government is calling for ideas to help shape a Games like no other and deliver the best outcome for our community. This process will capture ideas to:

- showcase and activate our regions
- develop Victoria 2026โ€™s cultural program
- support and celebrate Traditional Owner and Aboriginal organisations
- engage with local communities and sporting associations.
