South Gippsland - An area south of the Strzelecki Ranges down to the Bass Strait, it includes Phillip Island and Wilson's Promontory. A truly cool climate area, it is wetter and windier than other parts of Gippsland. It is traversed by the South Gippsland and Bass Highways.

West Gippsland - An area made up of the Gourmet Deli area around Warragul and the Latrobe Valley and surrounding hills. It stretches as far as Rosedale in the east. Cooler than East Gippsland, it usually has a warm, dry autumn which allows for the ripening of most grape varieties. It is traversed by the Princess Highway.

East Gippsland - Beyond Rosedale, including the cities of Sale, Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance. A more Mediterranean style climate is experienced with lower rainfalls than the rest of Gippsland. Also traversed by the Princes Highway.
