Avoca has been announced as a finalist in the 2026 Victorian Top Tourism Town Awards in the Tiny Tourism Town category.

These awards celebrate the incredible towns and communities that make regional Victoria such a sought-after destination, recognising places that deliver outstanding visitor experiences, strong community collaboration and a genuine commitment to tourism.

From its welcoming locals and vibrant community spirit to its stunning scenery, rich history, boutique experiences, nearby wineries and relaxed country charm, Avoca continues to capture the hearts of visitors from near and far.

Pyrenees Shire Council Deputy Mayor and Avoca Ward councillor Rebecca Wardlaw says being a finalist is a fantastic recognition of everything that makes Avoca so special.

“This achievement belongs to the entire community — from local businesses and tourism operators to volunteers, residents and supporters who help create memorable experiences for visitors every day,” Cr Wardlaw says.

Competing in the Tiny Tourism Town category for towns with populations under 1,500, Avoca is proudly flying the flag for the region — and now the community is being called on to help secure the win.

Public voting plays an important role in determining the winner, contributing valuable points toward the result so the community is now encouraged to get behind the campaign and vote for Avoca.

Whether you’re a local resident, regular visitor, former local or someone who simply loves discovering regional Victoria, your vote can help put Avoca on the map as Victoria’s Top Tiny Tourism Town.

“If awarded the title, the recognition would provide a significant boost not only for Avoca, but for the wider region and surrounding villages, helping attract new visitors, support local businesses and strengthen the local economy,” Cr Wardlaw says.

“Help Avoca bring home the title by casting your vote and encouraging others to do the same. Share the voting link with your friends, family and followers and help spread the word far and wide.

“Together, we can show Victoria why Avoca truly is one of the state’s most treasured tiny towns.”
