DAY 1: Melbourne to Yarra Valley

Yarra Valley; a haven for lovers of wineries, wilderness & wildlife. Discover over 80 cellar doors and microbreweries including the acclaimed names like: Domaine Chandon, De Bortolio and the newest arrivals Four Pillars Gin Distillery. Get closer to nature and spend some time at Healesville Sanctuary or take the journey onboard the famous Puffing Billy Steam Railway.

DAY 2: Yarra Valley to Phillip Island

This morning head towards the paradise of Phillip Island home to the expansive sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, plenty of award-winning restaurants. There is an abundance of wildlife from Koalas, wallabies, echidnas, a colourful array of birdlife, seals and of course the little penguins. This evening go and watch one of the largest little penguin colonies emerge from the ocean and waddle up to their burrows hidden among the dunes. DAY 3: Phillip Island to Mornington Peninsula

A great start to the day is indulging in breakfast at the stunning ocean view restaurant Cape Kitchen. After a leisurely meal journey over to the Mornington Peninsula for your next 2-night stop. Once you have arrived, head over to the Peninsula Hot Springs. Spend the sunset bathing in a wonderland of over 30 globally inspired experiences before enjoying dinner in the quaint town of Flinders.

DAY 4: At Mornington Peninsula

Today is at leisure. Do whatever you fancy; swim with the dolphins and seals, explore maritime and military history or for the more active, trek one of the many walking trails throughout the region. To reenergise there are plenty of cellar doors, cafes and restaurants. A great spot for lunch is Green Olive at Red Hill and why not treat yourself to some Mornington Peninsula Chocolates for dessert.

DAY 5: Mornington Peninsula to Melbourne

On your journey back to the city take a side trip and stop to dip your toe in the water at St Kilda Beach. There are great cafes and restaurants to sample for lunch if that takes your fancy.
