The Waterwheel

Warburton is where it all begins�¢?�¦

Just one hour from Melbourne, the Warburton Valley is life at nature�¢??s pace.

Always green, Warburton is where the Yarra River runs clear.

Relax by the river in summer, celebrate the beauty and abundance of harvest in autumn, enjoy an easy day of snow play on Mt Donna Buang in winter and reconnect with nature on one of our many forest walks in spring.

Start your visit with a delicious meal prepared with farm fresh produce, and meet the local wildlife while you enjoy the great outdoor activities the beautiful valley offers. And whether you are exploring by bike, foot or car, there�¢??s always a fine wine or a great coffee to be found.

To catch up in the Warburton Valley is to slow down.
Cycling is well catered for in the Warburton Valley. From recreational rides on the Rail Trail, to the more adventurous downhill and mountain bike trails, from world-class endurance events up mountains to a cycling holiday taking in the sights, there are many reasons to get active. Many of our trails are also great for running, walking (the Rainforest Walk is a must) and horseriding too.
With the Yarra Valley recognised as one of the world's great cool climate wine producing regions, the Warburton Valley is home to many mid-size and boutique wineries including the world-renowned Bulong Estate, Mont De Lancy, Killara Estate and Wild Cattle Creek for an intimate wine experience

Warburton is home to an eclectic mix of artists and exhibitions. Community-based mosiac projects are a feature of the town with the Great Steps of Warburton on the main street a delight for children and adults alike. Visit the uniquely crafted home of local Boinga Bob, or take in an exhibition at the Waterwheel - your senses will be delighted.
