Yarra Glen is an agricultural and dairy town in the heart of the Yarra Valley wine and food region and is an ideal base for enjoying cellar door tastings and sampling local produce.
Just a short distance from Melbourne, Yarra Glen is a popular weekend getaway. Meet the winemaker and sample wines at the cellar doors of some the state's best known and award-winning wineries, like Yering Station, De Bortoli and TarraWarra Estate.
Dine on regional produce or visit the Yarra Valley Dairy for lunch and enjoy handmade cheeses, local wines, coffee, desserts and excellent views. Taste and purchase locally grown produce at the Yarra Valley Regional Food Group Farmers' Market on the third Sunday of each month.

Take a sunrise balloon flight over the picturesque valley. Later, take a picnic or walk the 18 kilometre trail in Sugarloaf Reservoir Park.
One of Yarra Glen's most impressive historic buildings is the Grand Hotel in Bell Street. Built in the late 1880s, this beautiful two-storey stuccoed hotel has a tower, parapet and cast-iron verandah. It also operates as the cellar door of the Yarra Glen Vineyard.
In addition to the monthly farmers’ market, popular local events include the Yarra Glen Agricultural Show in March, and the Yarra Valley Expo held at the Yarra Glen Racecourse in April.
Yarra Glen is 51 kilometres north-east of Melbourne, or just under an hour on the Melba Highway. Travel north-east on the Eastern Freeway and Maroondah Highway.
