Romantic Getaways in the Yarra Valley
The Yarra Valley is Melbourne's classic romantic escape, an hour of rolling vineyards, hilltop cellar doors and warm golden light. A getaway proposal here pairs the question with a tasting, a long lunch with valley views, or a dawn hot-air balloon, then a luxurious stay to celebrate the yes.
What's included
What you can expect
An hour from Melbourne, the Yarra Valley combines world-class wineries, beautiful accommodation and unforgettable experiences into one romantic region.
