Daylesford & Hepburn

For decades, Victorians have set the compass for this culinary playground in pursuit of leisure and luxury. Some for markets and breakfasts. Others for spas and fine dining. Whatever your speed, rainbows end here, an hour north of Melbourne, in the rich volcanic soil of the Central Highlands. Whether it’s a heritage pub plating heirloom produce or a 360 pampering at an acclaimed retreat, Daylesford’s reputation as both icon and innovator holds. And somehow, every visit tastes better than the last. These are our top picks for dining in the Hepburn Shire region.
