About Yarra Valley

The Yarra Valley region is only a 45 minute day trip from the Melbourne CBD. It boasts one of the best wine regions in Australia with the towns of Healsville, Coldstream, Yarra Glen and Lilydale central to the Region. Rimmed by the Dandenong, and the Great Dividing Ranges the Yarra Valley has stunning natural beauty. But the area is not just about wineries; with farmers markets, cooking schools, specialty shops, flower farms and restaurants there is plenty to tempt the palate and senses. There is also an abundance of accommodation and day spas, so it’s a perfect area to have a Girls Weekends Away!
