Yarra Valley Pub Tour - Explore the Warburton Valley
Gather your friends and family for a relaxed day out on our Yarra Valley Pub Tour, where great food, local history, and breathtaking scenery come together.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive through rolling vineyards and lush farmlands before reaching the picturesque Warburton Valley, one of the Yarra Valley’s most charming and tranquil destinations. Nestled in the foothills of the Yarra Ranges, Warburton is framed by towering mountain ash forests and the sparkling Yarra River.
Stroll the riverbank walking trails, admire the historic swing bridge, and take in the fresh alpine air. In summer, kids (and grown-ups too!) can dip their toes in the crystal-clear river, while year-round the town’s relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect escape from city life.
The highlight of your day is a hearty lunch at one of the region’s oldest pubs, where rustic charm and rich history meet generous country hospitality. Pair your meal with a local wine or craft beer and soak up the stories of this unique valley town.
This tour blends the best of Yarra Valley scenery with the character and tradition of an authentic Aussie pub experience.
