About Us

 

Elizabeth Hollingsworth, Founder of Palatable Tea TowelsRemember  when we were locked down during Covid-19 for months on end, with short respites where we could leave our homes?

As a Melbourne resident, it was pretty extreme. It was during one such break that we took a chance to explore the nearby Mornington Peninsula wineries which had been desperately waiting for regional tourism to reignite with the loss of overseas and interstate visitors.


If you love picking up a tea towel to remind you of your travels, you'll understand how we had a brainwave to create detailed maps as fun souvenirs.

Helping champion Australian tourism
Deciding to help support Australian tourism we have designed a series of beautifully detailed, watercolour-illustrated map gifts depicting the famous wine regions of Adelaide Hills, Barossa, Canberra District, Clare Valley, Coonawarra, Geelong & the Bellarine Peninsula, Hunter Valley, Margaret River, McLaren Vale, Mornington Peninsula, Mudgee, Orange, Rutherglen, Tamar Valley and Yarra Valley, illustrated by Ballarat artist Caroline Keys.

Each design features up to 45 or more local wineries, hotels and attractions on a gorgeously illustrated map.

The featured wineries are iconic and family vineyards rated four stars or more by James Halliday's Wine Companion with cellar doors open to the public, the accommodation properties range from modest motels to five-star hotel resorts so visitors stay longer and put more money back into the area, while the variety of local attractions helps widen the region's appeal to a broader range of visitors.

Our aim is to encourage people to enjoy poring over the maps, recognising places they've been to, hotels they've stayed at and fun things they've done or would like to experience to help support and promote Australian tourism. We want to give them Australian memories to bring them back!

By ordering our wholesale wine region map aprons, greeting cards, postcards, tea towels, tote bags and unframed prints, perfect for gift occasions such as cotton second wedding anniversaries, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Valentines Day, housewarmings, settlement gifts, gift hampers and thank you gifts, you'll help encourage and support tourism in Australia.

NEW! Tourist attraction map gifts
We have launched a range of watercolour-illustrated tourist attraction map gifts of Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast, featuring the 30 most popular tourist attractions of these popular holiday destinations. You are sure to have visited at least a few of these!

We regularly feature our regions' wineries, attractions and accommodation properties on our Instagram page and have a What's On blog for them to share their special offers and events.

We hope you and your customers love our products as much as we do!
