How to Build Your Own Private Wine & Dine Escape in the Yarra Valley
Just an hour from Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is a playground for wine lovers and foodies alike. But instead of a quick day trip, why not curate your own private retreat — where fine dining, world-class wine, and serene landscapes meet in one unforgettable experience?
Step 1: Choose a Luxe Stay
Opt for boutique villas like Chateau Yering or a modern Airbnb perched among the vines. Private terraces and fireplaces set the mood for indulgence.
Step 2: Curate Your Wine Experience
Skip the standard tastings and book bespoke tours with De Bortoli Yarra Valley or Oakridge Wines. For something extra, try a helicopter winery hop.
Step 3: Fine Dining with a View
Restaurants like Ezard at Levantine Hill bring Michelin-level dining to the valley. Think truffle-infused dishes paired with premium vintages.
Step 4: Add a Touch of Wellness
Balance indulgence with spa treatments at Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa, just a short drive away.
Step 5: Take It Home
Fill your car with cases of wine, artisanal chocolates, and cheese. At home, recreate the Yarra Valley vibe by storing your treasures in a Grand Cru Wine Fridge — designed to protect every drop of your new collection.
