As the city sleeps, you can gently rise alongside the sun, witnessing the city gradually wake up from thousands of feet in the air—an unforgettable, breathtaking experience. The Yarra Valley, about an hour’s drive northeast of Melbourne, is one of Victoria’s top wine regions and is surrounded by national parks, perfect for hiking and road trips.

Notable sights along the way include the surf culture capital Torquay, Cape Otway Lightstation, and the Twelve Apostles. These landmarks create the classic scenery along the Great Ocean Road, perfect for couples who love road trips and photography.
A wine tour is the perfect romantic and relaxing date activity for couples.

The winery also has several restaurants where visitors can pair fine wines with delicious meals. The lush, park-like surroundings make for a serene and leisurely stroll. Domaine Chandon, located 40 kilometers from the city, was established in 1985 by Moët & Chandon as Australia’s unique and global sparkling wine brand. With its vast vineyards, the winery offers stunning views of the vineyards. Everything here exudes a French elegance and leisure—even the path lined with rose bushes that leads to the wine-making area.
