the shortest lunch, yarra valley

The Yarra Valley Smaller Wineries know how to celebrate the shortest weekend of the year - with a beautiful bottle of wine and some tasty tucker!  Wineries up and down Maroondah Highway, Melba Highway and the Warburton Highway are treating guests to some of their best this weekend. Stay at one venue or go for a little hop throughout the Valley. 

Entry passes get you entry and tastings at all of the 9 family run venues. There will be a diverse selection of meals will be available at each participating winery, with menu offerings ranging from homemade apple pies and cheese platters to classic Italian fare and slow-cooked brisket. Kids and those with special dietary requirements won’t miss out either, with most wineries catering for both. There’ll wine specials on the day and the kids - and designated drivers - can come along for free.

A few winters ago (turns out it was 5 years ago!) Mamma spent the afternoon taking in the spectacular views from Billanook Estate over a bowl of scrumptious gnocchi. Click here to find out if YOUR favourite wineries are participating.

Mamma's special mention: If you are heading to the Yarra Valley there are so many great family friendly things to see and do including the awesome playground in Seville, the Roll Track in Healesville or even explore the beautiful Maroondah Dam
