Savour a glass of wine in the romantic environs of Yarra Valley on this vacation. Head towards the Puffing Billy station in Belgrave and enjoy stunning views of the 550 metre high Dandenong Ranges and lush vegetation. One of the best ways to explore the beauty of the Dandenong Ranges is to take the 25 kilometre long journey on Australia's oldest steam engine, Puffing Billy, chugging past tall fern dells, mountain ash trees, the Emerald Lake Park and Gembrook.
Visit the 633 metre high Mt Dandenong Observatory and see a variety of trees like the deciduous and conifers from around the world. On the other side of the range is the fertile Yarra Valley with a number of fruit orchards, market gardens, vineyards and flower farms. With 30 wineries, you can savour a variety of tastes and textures as you sample the region's finest wines.
With wine tasting and and a ride on Puffing Billy, this will be an unforgettable vacation.
