Browse stays in Yarra ValleyThe Yarra Valley is Victoria's oldest wine region, an hour northeast of Melbourne. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grow here; so does sourdough, soft cheese, and the kind of long weekend that reshapes a week.
Peachy's footprint is small in the Valley but deliberate - homes set among vines, with quick access to the cellar doors and the Healesville cafés.
Sparkling at the source - vineyard tour, lunch at Greenpoint, and the long view over the Yering hills.
Cellar door + the TarraWarra Museum of Art on the same property. A morning well spent.
Open-bushland zoo specialising in Australian fauna - bring the kids or just yourself.
Free chocolate tastings and a French ice-cream window, just outside Yarra Glen.
Healesville's craft gin pioneer - distillery tour, tastings, and Sunday roasts.
The steam train through the Dandenongs is a 30-minute drive west - a half-day excursion.
