‘Click For Vic’ To Support Local Businesses And Local Jobs
As we stay home to stay safe, a new campaign will encourage Victorians to experience some of our state’s best produce and products – right from the comfort of their own home.
The ‘Click for Vic’ is a new campaign to connect Victorians with local producers, creators, and businesses across the state. Victoria is home to some of the best fresh food, wine, galleries, and homewares in the world – but the coronavirus pandemic has hit many small producers hard.
The new website – backed by a major new campaign that will be rolled out across television, print, radio, digital and social media channels – will encourage Victorians to support these hard-working local businesses, which are vital to so many local communities.
By Clicking for Vic, Victorians will be connected to online offerings from the Victorian Country Market, Providoor, Co-Lab Pantry and many more.
Victorian Country Market – a digital version of your favourite country market – is home to more than 250 stalls including fresh produce, drinks, arts, crafts, and homewares from across regional Victoria. Not only is the Market helping regional producers survive the economic impacts of the pandemic, it’s also supporting the music industry by providing opportunities to out-of-work music staff for home deliveries.
The website is quite fun to explore with neat interactive maps and options to locate local venues in your area.
There appear to be three ventures from South Gippsland shown on the website. The Burra Brewery in Korumburra, The Gippsland Wine Company in Loch, The Blue Tree Honey Farm in Dumbalk. Each of these three local businesses can be viewed online and customers can place orders for home delivery. Each business has an excellent website of information about the business and products available.
Go to visitvictoria.com/clickforvic to discover how to bring the best of Victoria into your very own home.

Gippsland Wine Company is located in the Loch village on the South Gippsland Highway, around 100 km south of Melbourne. Perfect climate and long, cool seasons make it ideal for their early ripening grape varieties. They have a wide range of varieties such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Mark Heath has carefully located each variety within his property to develop the grape to its highest potential based on the microclimate in that location. A vibrant community facility.
Blue Tree Honey Farm is a small family run business in Dumbalk, South Gippsland, that has been beekeeping for over 10 years now. They supply and sell local raw, pure, natural Australian honey to their customers via farm gate store, markets, festivals, wholesale, and online shop.
Their new packaging reduces landfill and is 100% fully compostable. After you have decanted your honey into your honey pot or jar, you can just place it in your compost bin or bury it in your garden after removing the label.
