welcome to

the yarra valley and dandenong ranges Explore the Yarra Valley and its refined wines and local produce. A hop, skip and a jump and the majestic forrests and fern glades of the Dandenong Ranges offer the perfect getaway from it all. Once upon a time, the Yarra Valley was a valuable source of timber and, in 1859 when gold was discovered at New Chum Creek, settlers rushed to the area in search of their fortunes. These days, the Yarra Valley is renowned for its world class wineries and lush hinterlands. It’s a place where visitors can relax and completely unwind.

The Dandenong Ranges was first explored in 1839 by the botanist, Daniel Bunce, who on arrival to Melbourne was attracted to the distant mountains 40 km’s away. Bunce set out with a party of Aboriginals to explore the area known as Corhanwarrabul meaning ‘the creek of the kangaroo’. Bunce and the rest of the party climbed to the top of what is today known as Burke’s Lookout. Once harvested for its timber, the Dandenong Ranges is now celebrated for its beauty and tranquility. This guide provides information on wineries, markets, parks and attractions in the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges region. Enjoy, relax and unwind.

Welcome to the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges

the yarra valley Today, the Yarra Valley is one of the world’s finest wine producing regions. Taking advantage of the rich soils, high rainfall and warm summers, the area is a haven for wine producers and wine lovers alike. Over 50 wineries are open for tasting and sales, which is probably one of the reasons why the area is Victoria’s most visited wine region. There are plenty of other great things to see and do in the Yarra Valley so take advantage of all that’s on offer.

yarra glen

toolangi

Situated amongst the Yarra Valley’s finest producers, Yarra Glen is the place to sample fresh regional produce at local eateries and producers. Drop into the Yarra Valley Grand Hotel, a historic boutique hotel with ornate charm: comfy lounges throughout, a beautiful dining room, a huge bistro area and sunny beer deck. The pub focuses on supporting local music and so bands play here three times per week. Alternatively, visit Yarra Valley Dairy where you can taste and buy sumptuous handmade cheeses. For more details, please visit www.yvd.com.au.

Approximately 19km’s north of Healesville, Toolangi is probably most famous for the historical fact that it was home to the famous poet, CJ Dennis. Dennis was fascinated by the area and was subsequently inspired to write such classics as ‘The Moods Of Ginger Mick’. The Singing Gardens was named after the last poem that the poet wrote. Today, visitors are made welcome at The Singing Garden where there are four acres of garden that lead to the fresh Yea River to meander through.

healesville

warburton

Located 34km’s from Healesville on the banks of the Yarra River, Warburton was founded as a gold mining and saw milling centre in the 1860s. This quaint township has a busy events calendar. For more information, please visit www.warburtoninfo. com/warburton_event_calender.html.
