The rolling hills and rocky ridges in this part of the world just quietly go about their business of creating memorable and much-loved food and wine without fuss or fanfare.
Small towns with big hearts play host to boutique experiences, artisan makers and tales from bygone eras. Steiglitz will take you back to the bustling decades of a gold mining town and at the You Yangs (Wurdi Youang) more than 300 cultural heritage sites in the area will give you an insight into the way of life of the Wadawurrung People.
Nature’s best is also on show amidst the granite peaks of the You Yangs Regional Park and hills and gullies of the Brisbane Ranges National Park. Endless outdoor activities await in both with adventures to be had on two wheels, horseback, suspended by rope or on firm ground.
Enjoy Serendip Sanctuary, a haven for native Australian wildlife, offering another dimension of natural beauty and wildlife encounters amidst the region’s diverse landscapes.
