Yarra Valley aerial view

Yarra Valley, Australia

An hour from Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is Victoria's most celebrated wine country: cool-climate vineyards, misty river flats and eucalypt ridgelines dotted with cellar doors, chef-driven restaurants and artisan producers. Luxury travellers come for dawn hot-air balloon flights over the vines, long lunches at estates such as TarraWarra and Yering Station, and heritage mansions and vineyard retreats that make an unhurried base.
