YARRA VALLEY AND DANDENONG RANGES

Let’s meet in the Yarra Valley and Dandenongs

Ranges and break bread in one of the world’s premier wine growing regions.

This spectacular region unfolds within 50 minutes of Melbourne’s CBD.

Plan an inspired itinerary around the perfect venue. Options are many and varied – an award-winning sustainable conference centre, 100-room convention centre, a bevy of 5-star luxury hotels and a bundle of mountain retreats.

You’ll find ultramodern technology, sophisticated fully-appointed spaces, shapeshifting break-out areas that blend the outdoors, cosy conversation zones, networking rooms and intuitive host operators who know how to please.

When your team climbs into the baskets of a fleet of hot air balloons on a misty morning, they’re about to share an adventure they’ll never forget – soaring in lofty silence over the valley, wineries and majestic forest is incredible.

So is steaming through the forest aboard the historic Puffing Billy train. Charter the whole train for a larger group, or book individual carriages or first-class dining cars for smaller teams.

Food and wine adventures are the backbone to life in this region. Tap into it with a team grape-stomping adventure, a brick pizza oven building session, a gin distillery tour or a workshop in the ancient craft of fermentation.

Tour one (or more) of around 80 cellar doors offering up the famous bounty of the Yarra Valley wine region.

Schedule a guided rainforest and mindfulness tour or a round of golf at a Top 100 course. Tackle the Kokoda Memorial Walk, cycle a bush trail through fern glades or learn a new skill like archery. Comeback business events don’t get any better than worldclass experiences at your back door.
