If you’re looking for a region within easy driving distance of Melbourne that offers a sensational array of sophisticated pleasures and dazzling scenery then look no further than the Yarra Valley.

The Yarra Valley extends over quite a large area. Naturally, it roughly follows the winding route of the Yarra River. It is very easy to find your way around and there are many interesting routes that you could take.

Whilst it may seem daunting, in reality places of interest are not far from one another and you could easily travel everywhere in one day if you wanted to. But, with so much to experience, why not set yourselves a leisurely pace and immerse yourselves in one of the most beautiful and seriously rewarding regions you will ever find?

From the City

The Yarra Valley is located just 50kms to the east of Melbourne’s CBD, a comfortable hour’s drive. Take the Eastern Freeway (83) from the city until the Nunawading exit. Turn right into Springvale Road and then left onto Whitehorse Road which later becomes the Maroondah Highway.

Keep going straight on the Maroondah Highway to Lilydale and then onto Healesville (B360) which is well signposted. If you’re heading to Yarra Glen, veer left onto the Melba Highway (B300) at Coldstream.

From the Airport

Head towards the City for 5kms on the Tullamarine Freeway (43) before turning left onto the Western Ring Road (M80). Follow the signs to Greensborough. At the end of the freeway turn left and follow the signs to Hurstbridge (46) continuing past Diamond Creek.

At the Wattle Glen roundabout, turn right towards Kangaroo Ground taking the Kangaroo Ground-Wattle Glen Road (9). At the T intersection turn right (C728) then after a 100m turn left into the Eltham-Yarra Glen Road (C726) and continue all the way to the end.
Turn right into Bell Street (B300) to take you into the town of Yarra Glen.

To get from Yarra Glen to Healesville turn left at the Healesville-Yarra Glen Road (C726) and carry on for a further 10km.
