The Farmhouse at Meletos

3 Best Day Trips from Melbourne to Mornington Peninsula, Daylesford, and the Yarra Valley | Condé Nast Traveler

"The two-story Meletos Farmhouse would look equally at home in the Tuscan countryside as it does surrounded by the greenery of the Yarra Valley, Victoria’s best-known wine-growing region, an hour’s drive outside Melbourne. The rendered historic building is set in a walled garden, with vineyards on one side and an orchard on the other. Entering the double-height lobby is a little like being welcomed into a friend’s spacious homestead. A wine-tasting trip to the Yarra Valley is a rite of passage for anyone living in Melbourne, and there are plenty of good vineyards surrounding Meletos. Be sure to make a booking at adjacent fine-dining restaurant The Stables at Stones." - Carrie Hutchinson
