Things to Do in the Yarra Valley & The Dandenongs

Come for the wine, forests and famous attractions. Stay to discover gardens, wildlife, farm gates, villages, walking and cycling trails, art, culture and experiences you weren't expecting to find.

Less than an hour from Melbourne, there are many ways to explore our region. Taste wine where it's grown in the Yarra Valley, ride Puffing Billy through the forests of The Dandenongs, follow the river and trails around Warburton, discover makers and creative places across Nillumbik, or head into Cardinia for farm gates, family adventures and wide-open spaces.

Meet growers and makers, wander through cool-climate gardens, explore art and culture, browse a country market, find a new walking trail or slow things down completely with good food, a beautiful view and nowhere else you need to be.

Start with what you love, then see where the region takes you.
