Melbourne boasts
great events, a
passion for food and
wine and a fabulous
arts scene. Known as
a style-setter,
Melbourne is home to
a non-stop program
of festivals,
renowned dining,
major art
exhibitions and
musical
extravaganzas.
Melbourne is notable
for its mix of
Victorian and
contemporary
architecture, its
extensive tram
network and
Victorian parks and
gardens, and its
diverse,
multicultural
society.
Melbourne is often
referred to as
Australia's garden
city, and the state
of Victoria was once
known as "the garden
state". There is an
abundance of parks
and gardens in
Melbourne, many
close to the CBD
with a variety of
common and rare
plant species amid
landscaped vistas,
pedestrian pathways
and tree-lined
avenues. Our
Thursday program
takes in the best of
Melbourne with a
strong emphasis on
capturing the
vibrant street
scenes, its
fashions, the
flavour, variety,
great food and
quirky wine bars
that makes Melbourne
one of the world’s
most liveable
cities.
On
Friday we head
east for the rolling
hills, beautiful
wineries and great
food of the famous
Yarra Valley. The
Yarra Valley is now
the home to over 40
wineries and a
multitude of shops
and cafes. Sample
the wines of some of
the famous and also
lesser known
boutique wineries
along with samples
of local cheeses and
homemade pasta. We
finish our weekend
with a scenic drive
back to Melbourne
through the
