Paddle Corunna Lake, Then Taste Tilba: Kayaks, Sea Eagles and Wine.
The Tilba Kayak & Wine Tour threads a short, sensory-rich morning through Corunna’s sheltered waters and finishes where the land’s flavours are made: Tilba Valley Winery. Paddle across Corunna Lake, framed by spotted gum forest and sandy shorelines, with Mt Gulaga rising in the distance; then step ashore for a tasting of three handcrafted wines and a generous platter of artisan cheeses that speak to the same landscape you’ve just explored.
