The Yarra Valley is without a doubt Victoria’s most spectacular conference destination.

Offering picture perfect landscapes and stunning ridgelines on the horizon surrounding world class conferencing facilities, the Yarra Valley can cater to the needs of a large industry event through to more intimate workshops. What an ideal locale to host your business’ incentives, events and partner programs.

With direct access to premium wineries and the stunning award winning restaurants associated with them, there is no shortage of opportunities for high calibre indulgence. The Yarra Valley is uniquely positioned to offer a wonderfully diverse range of activities throughout the year, thus keeping it incredibly simple to tailor a memorable program that’s just perfect for your distinct conference group. Popular and interactive activities for your guests span across personalised tours that can include grape stomping, wine and cheese matching, orchard tours and fruit preserving. These, and more, can all be utilised as team building activities or incentives, it’s up to the needs of your group.

An impressive choice of both indoor and outdoor experiences can be added to the list with hot air-ballooning, Segway tours through the vines, high ropes courses, archery, touring the acclaimed TarraWarra Gallery or the internationally recognised Healesville Sanctuary, plus a dinner aboard the iconic Puffing Billy, to name but a few. With accommodation available from one hundred room venues through to bespoke homes and five star luxury boutique hotels your accommodation requirements are easily met. Stay at just one venue or utilise a few, the choice is entirely yours to make. Choose your venue based on size or access to one of the many hilltop villages of the Dandenong Ranges, the bike trails and river of the township of Warburton or the bustling central hub of Healesville and Yarra Glen. Melbourne’s Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges makes it easy, and most importantly, keeps it memorable.

Our conference facilities are uniquely set among several buildings, each with its own accommodation area, allowing your group to stay together and have total privacy to truly facilitate a ‘team building’ environment.

Your group will be staying at a wonderful rural retreat, set within 120 acres of stunning natural bushland with National Parks and wineries for neighbours, walking tracks aplenty within the grounds, and the option of a guided tour & taste through our Edible Forest.

In addition to conferences we are also a special events and group accommodation venue. Do you have a special celebration coming up? Are you part of a group wanting to go away together? Come and visit us at the Yarra Valley Estate - we’ll show you around the grounds and work out with you the various options for your function.
