Best known for its fresh produce and wine-growing expertise, the Yarra Valley can be found about an hour drive north-east of big city Melbourne. Although the valley does not have public transportation, you can easily make the journey to its endearing environment on an organized tour or by car hire. Once you’ve arrived, you can try Pinot noir and Chardonnay from the oldest wine region of Victoria (starting back in 1838, to be exact). Along with this, the Yarra offers an extensive and mouth-watering dining experience, with freshwater salmon, trout, caviar, and handmade cheeses making the highlights.
