About The Area
The Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges region is one hours drive east of Melbourne. This is where the picturesque Yarra River quietly meanders through a valley of grazing cattle, grassy pastures, splendid trees and the world renowned wineries and vineyards.
Edged by the green slopes of the Great Divide, Christmas Hills and the Dandenongs, the Yarra Valley has a lot to offer.
The Yarra Valley is recognised as one of the worlds great wine growing regions. Numerous wineries offer cellar door tastings and sales with most also having feature restaurants serving gourmet food, local produce and fine wines. Boutique breweries offer an alternative way to enjoy the valley.
See it from one of many hot air balloons dotting the early morning sky, take a close up of the wildlife at the Healesville Sanctuary, enjoy bush walking, cycling, canoeing or travel on Puffing Billy, but whatever you do don't miss the lifestyle that this remarkable region has to offer.
