Locally produced and family owned is the catch-cry here at Napoleone – a welcoming brewery and ciderhouse built on the foundations of an old dairy. This space offers picturesque views of the Yarra Valley that can best be enjoyed with a perfectly crafted beer or cider in hand.

Hargreaves Hill is one of Australia’s leading microbreweries both in terms of quality and range. Once you visit here and sample their beers in a tasting paddle, you’ll understand why. If the day is warm and sunny, you’ll probably want to enjoy another pale ale outside their historic cellar door. If it’s cold and wet, then you’ll probably end up enjoying an extra stout in front of their fire place.

One of the first breweries in the valley. Taste your way through a paddle of pilsner, ales and crisp apple cider from the brewery. The mantra behind Coldstream is ‘taking the time to do what you want to do.’ With such great beer on offer, you’ll never want to do anything else but sit back and relax with a brew.

(We also visit other great venues in the area including: Watts River, Kellybrook, Four Pillars Gin, and Yering Station. If you would like add a different brewery to your itinerary, just ask!)
