Introducing The Yarra Valley
An hour from Melbourne, the Yarra Valley draws in day-trippers with walking and cycling trails, and its boutique wineries. Healesville is the best base to explore from as it’s closest to wineries and is the ‘capital’ of the Lower Yarra Valley; Warburton marks the centre of the Upper Yarra Valley.

There’s some good walking in national parks in the area, including Warrandyte State Park, Yarra Ranges National Park and Kinglake National Park. Check at the visitors centres for brochures.
