Yarra Valley

Yarra Valley the home of more than 55 wineries is less than an hour’s drive from King Street Backpackers.

Most wineries offer cellar door tastings of the wines available for purchase and many are serious about food using mainly fresh local produce in their vineyard restaurants. Rolling hills and pristine river valleys blend to a backdrop of blue mountain ranges stretching high above the country towns of Warburton and Marysville. An ideal location to sample a range of local produce is Yarra Glen 55kms from Melbourne, the town in the heart of the Yarra Valley. A popular attraction is the Healesville sanctuary home to a wide variety of native Australian birds and animals.
