The region that kick-started it all for the Victorian wine industry, the Yarra Valley is only an hour from Melbourne and still one of Australia's premiere wine regions.

Recognised as one of the world's great cool climate wine producing regions and with more than 80 wineries to explore, the Yarra Valley is a hub for makers and creators. Don't worry if wine is not your thing, as dotted throughout the region you'll also find breweries, distilleries and even a chocolate factory that should be on every visitors itinerary.

For a unique view of the valley, take to the skies on a hot air balloon ride. The one-hour flight departs at sunrise, and ascends above rolling hills and corridors of vines and can even be paired with a champagne breakfast.

Neighbouring villages are synonymous with quality culinary experiences and well worth a visit if exploring by car and while you're in the car, make sure to take the time to drive Black Spur one of the most spectacular stretches of road you're likely to find anywhere in the world.
