YARRA VALLEY, VICTORIA Getting there An easy travelling distance from Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is an hour’s drive east of Melbourne’s city centre or an hour and a half if you choose to travel via the picturesque Olinda, one of the highest villages in the Dandenong Ranges. Both routes are well signposted and ensure a leisurely day or an overnight weekend road trip away! The Valley itself has three major highways which wind through it, offering a variety of experiences and activities to visitors once you arrive. What you’ll find Yarra Valley is an unforgettable place of indulgence. Whether you are a discerning ‘foodie’, wine connoisseur or travel buff, the Yarra Valley is bound to impress. This idyllic cool-climate retreat has a wondrous mix of fine wineries, farms, restaurants, spas, village accommodation and eucalypt forests. It is ideal for a romantic or relaxing getaway, filled with beautiful natural surrounds, fresh farm produce, internationally renowned chefs and chances to unwind and recharge your batteries. Things to do For those on a romantic weekend getaway, set your hearts alight on a hot air balloon ride at sunrise, where you can look down over the towering forests, farms and wineries and then top it off with a delicious champagne breakfast. Savor the moment with plenty of wineries to visit during the day in a Clydesdale- drawn carriage and sample some more of the region’s beautiful wines. You can also see some breathtaking views of the valley from several vantage points in the Yarra Ranges and Kinglake National Parks. If you’d rather dine than wine, why not pack your picnic basket or pick up some gourmet treats at the markets, then find a nice spot to settle in one of the peaceful picnic areas. In the evening, why not enjoy some gastronomic delights for dinner - in the Yarra Valley, life is one long lunch!
