Wine not take a short trip away?

There are great regions outside every major city if you want to stay local, with the Yarra Valley a particularly good choice just outside Melbourne. If you're feeling a little more adventurous, Orange and Mudgee have some spectacular wineries a little further away, to make it feel like a real trip.
