When the days grow long and the sun hits just right, it can only mean one thing — spritz season is here! We know, we know… when most people think of a spritz, they picture an Aperol by a Venetian canal or a Limoncello on the Amalfi Coast.

Incidentally, the Austrians are also instrumental in the founding of Wildbrumby schnapps...See, where we're going here? So, if the spritz isn’t purely an Italian ...

On Saturday 4th October 2025, we are celebrating over a decade of Oktoberfests held at Wildbrumby Distillery! We asked Chris Wall from the Cooma District Band, how the band came to be involved with the annual Oktoberfest, and why it’s a great day out for the whole family. How did the Cooma District Band become involved with Oktoberfest at Wildbrumby? About 15 or 20 years ago I would think it was, we found a book, “Alles Stimmung”, in the band’s music stores, with 10 well known Bavarian style songs and tunes. At the time we had a few German speakers ...

No trip to the snow is complete without a little après-ski. This beloved alpine tradition—French for “after ski”—has been a treasured part of snow culture since the 1950s, when the sport took off across the French and Austrian Alps.

In Europe, après-ski can mean anything from dancing in your ski boots to sipping mulled wine in a timbered tavern. And while modern après might feel like a recent invention, its roots run deep. Skiing itself dates back to around 4000 ...
