Yarra Valley Grand Hotel

With the hustle of Melbourne less than an hour away, escape city life and discover this delightful locavore escape where you can set up a wine tasting at the likes of Zonzo Estate, visit the iconic Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery and stroll through the manicured gardens of Alowyn Gardens, before returning to this country retreat steeped in old-world charm. Step back in time as you’re whisked through the hotel’s grand arched doorways into unique, beautifully furnished rooms, transported to the homely pub and lured into the newly renovated beer garden of Herb’s Backyard Pizza, where you can enjoy an extensive range of local brews, wine and live music on select weekends.
