COUNTRYSIDE AROUND MELBOURNE

We are very lucky in Melbourne to be surrounded by beautiful countryside, only a relatively short driving time out of the City. Just half an hour’s drive from Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is home to around eighty of Victoria’s best small wineries. Wine country starts in outer suburbia north of the Maroondah Highway just before Lilydale. North of Lilydale, one can check out wineries along or near three routes – the Warburton Highway to the east, the Maroondah Highway to Healesville, and the Melba Highway, heading north past Yarra Glen.
