Description
Discover a day of pure delight, expertly crafted to satisfy your palate and captivate your senses. Your adventure begins in the lush, rolling hills of the Yarra Valley, where a sweet paradise awaits. At the renowned Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery, watch artisans at work and treat yourself to an array of exquisite chocolates and creamy, dreamy ice creams.
Just a short journey away, the valley's liquid treasures await. Step into the cool, calm cellar door of a local winery, where you'll be invited to taste a selection of award-winning cool-climate wines. Learn the stories behind the vines and let the crisp, elegant flavours dance on your tongue, a true reflection of this pristine region.
Leaving the vineyards behind, we'll guide you to a hidden gem for a moment of pure tranquility. Nestled near the Dandenong Ranges, a beautiful lakeside provides a stunning backdrop for relaxation. Stretch your legs, breathe in the crisp air, and capture photos of the stunning landscape reflecting on the calm water—a peaceful interlude before the evening's main event.
As dusk settles, prepare for an unforgettable encounter on the wild shores of Phillip Island. Here, you'll have a front-row seat to one of nature's most charming shows: the world-famous Penguin Parade. Watch with a sense of wonder as hundreds of little penguins bravely emerge from the surf, marching determinedly across the beach to their sand dune homes. It's a heartwarming spectacle and the perfect, magical end to an incredible day.
