Melbourne Coffee, Markets and Wineries
Laneway cafés and three major markets, plus a day trip to the Yarra Valley wineries and a Mornington Peninsula day of cable car, wineries and hot springs.
Food is the main thread: laneway cafés and Chinatown snacks in the city centre, Queen Victoria Market and South Melbourne Market, and independent cafés in Fitzroy. Spend two days out of town: one at the Yarra Valley wineries, and one on the Mornington Peninsula, taking the cable car, tasting at Red Hill wineries and soaking in outdoor hot springs. Stay in South Yarra, close to the Botanic Gardens and the restaurants on Chapel Street. Don't drive yourself to the wineries; a tour or private car is recommended.
February to April is grape harvest season, when the wineries are at their busiest.
