Escape to the Yarra Valley for indulgent food and wine at one of over 80 wineries the Yarra Valley has to offer. Many of the region’s wineries have cellar doors offering wine sales and picnic facilities, with some of them also featuring restaurants and cafes. In addition to vineyards, the Yarra Valley includes bush walking trails, fruit farms, markets, galleries and attractions for the whole family including the famous Healesville Sanctuary.
Healesville is a major tourist destination, located in the famous Yarra Valley grape growing region. The town is surrounded by mountains, forests and rolling hills dotted with wineries, fruit and berry farms. Enjoy scenic views of Healesville, Mount Riddell and the surrounding valleys by driving along Yarra Glen Road west of the racecourse. The route north along St Leonards Road and Myers Creek Road winds its way past a number of fruit and berry farms. Take a drive through the Black Spur and visit Marysville which is rebuilding after the Black Saturday fires of February 7, 2009
