Yarra Valley - VIC

We blocked our time in the wine country of Yarra Valley for a 4 days long weekend. We drove up to book our stay in the Sanctuary House resort who offered us a wonderful stay and food option. 

We drove towards Marysville to cover the iconic and the most beautiful Black Spur Drive. In a country like Australia where everything is picture perfect and beautiful, it is a difficult decision to put this in the must do list for every one who visits Australia. The total distance covered is about 30 kms from Healsville to Marysville through Narbethong. It offers you the smell of the fresh pines with towering trees and spectacular valley views of the Maroondah Highway winding into the Great Dividing Ranges.
Our way back was through Yering Station Winery and Cellar door. The old Yering station has been transformed into a winery, cellar and the railway park into a spot for the weekend village market.
