Award-winning family business Gundowring Finest Ice Cream will cease production in 2024.

After 20 incredible years, our family has made the difficult decision to hang up our ice cream scoops and close our Gundowring Finest Ice Cream business.

We set out to share real, honest ice cream made from fresh farm milk and quality local ingredients, and it’s been an honour to win loyal fans and industry awards along the way. But the rising cost of production has forced us to contemplate the future of the business, and we’ve made the difficult decision to cease production from 2024.

For now it’s business as usual. We’ll continue making ice cream through to the end of 2023, so there’ll be plenty of Gundowring favourites to lick and love over the summer months.

To our loyal customers: we’re so grateful for your support. We’ve loved celebrating our region’s dairy industry and producers with you - and putting a sticky smile on your face!

We also want to thank our incredible Gundowring community: the farmers and producers who’ve supplied us, the staff who’ve invested heart and soul working in our family business, and the local champions who have supported us, always.

Our family is excited to set new goals and explore new possibilities in this incredible community of ours in North East Victoria.

It might be last licks for Gundowring Finest Ice Cream, but we’re a family of makers and doers, and Gundowring Fine Foods is a legacy we’re incredibly proud of… so watch this space.
