The Yarra Valley in Melbourne’s east is a picturesque place with beautiful green rolling hills,vineyards, restaurants and galleries. Our favorite thing to do on a “Blue Sky Day” on the weekend is to go for a drive and check out a farmers market, exhibition at a gallery and find somewhere to have lunch. When we have interstate or international visitors there are plenty of options to choose from.
Here are some of our favorite places to visit in the Yarra Valley:
TarraWarra Museum of Art
Magnificent architecture set on a hill. They have some wonderful exhibitions in the huge gallery. Set alongside a restaurant, and wine cellar it is a lovely place to visit.

Spinner’s Souvlaki Bar And Grill
Great souvlaki’s can be found at Spinners. It is our favorite place to have lunch when we are in Healesville. They also have share platters which are yummy too.

Coombe Yarra Valley
Restaurant, wine tasting, and garden tour. We went on a garden tour and it was fantastic. This was once the home of world famous opera singer Dame Nellie Melba and it was great to hear the stories from a time gone by.
