Foothills Conference Centre is lucky enough to be so close to Victorias magnificent Yarra Valley, providing hours of entertainment. Whether you have a conference at Foothills Conference Centre, or you want to get away from the city, our prime location makes for a great time away.
Not only is the Yarra Valley breathtakingly beautiful, but there is so much to do that will keep you occupied. The Yarra Valley is the home of Victorian wine, the exact spot where Victorian winegrowing began. Here, you are able to sample the wines, and who doesn’t love that! The Yarra Valley also offers tours and fantastic meals from one of the many restaurants in the area made from fresh, local produce- sure to compliment the fantastic wine.
Within the Yarra Valley, amongst the spectacular scenery, you will find diverse villages tucked away. To ensure that you experience a full 360 degree view of the Valley, you can choose to take a hot-air balloon ride. If that doesn’t keep the kids entertained, Healesville Sanctuary, known around the world as the best place to see Australian wildlife in their natural habitat, sure will.
For the older kids, the TarraWarra Museum of Art is definitely the place to go. The TarraWarra Museum of Art is Australia’s first privately funded public visual arts museum to be set up by the Government. Along with the Giant Steps/Innocent Bystander- one winery with two very distinct labels- the list of things to do in the Yarra Valley is a long one.
The ‘to-do’ list is lengthened further with Dandenong Ranges located right next door.
While the Yarra Valley may not be in the heart of Melbourne, the trip (that takes under an hour), will be a rewarding one. A couple of days away from the hustle and bustle of the city is exactly what is needed- especially at this time of year.
