Australia: Nature & Wine

Ten days centred on Melbourne — with days in the Yarra Valley wine country, the Mornington Peninsula, and a drive along the Great Ocean Road. Melbourne itself is one of the best dining cities in the world. This itinerary is designed for those who want city culture and natural beauty in equal measure.

Melbourne is consistently underestimated. The food scene, coffee culture, art gallery scene and general liveability are exceptional. Pairing it with the Yarra Valley and the Great Ocean Road creates a ten-day itinerary that never feels repetitive.

Melbourne (3–4 nights) → Yarra Valley (2 nights) → Mornington Peninsula (1 night) → Great Ocean Road drive → Melbourne departure

Relaxed. This itinerary works well for those who want to spend time in each place rather than covering ground.

Wine and food lovers. Couples seeking culture and nature. Those visiting Australia for the first time who want to understand Melbourne first.

Melbourne: The Langham Melbourne or Jackalope Mornington. Yarra Valley: Stones of the Yarra Valley or Levantine Hill Estate.

We designed this itinerary because we know Melbourne from the inside — our team is based there. The wine region day trips from Melbourne are genuinely excellent, and the Great Ocean Road is one of the most dramatic coastal drives in the world.
