Victoria has gained international acclaim for its world-class food and wine. Many visitors set their sights on food-focused Melbourne — and our guide to the Top Foodie Hotels in Melbourne is a great starting point — but there's plenty to discover in rural Victoria, too. Head down to the magical Mornington Peninsula for fabulous wineries and farm-to-table restaurants, or to the much-lauded vineyards of the Yarra Valley. Bucolic Daylesford is also famed for its rich farmland and sensational seasonal produce. Luckily for us, many of Victoria's best restaurants also have rooms. Unwind in striking modernist suites overlooking verdant vineyards or forest-framed rivers, soak up dazzling views of Mount Sturgeon from the privacy of your terrace, or take a scenic stroll through sculpture-filled lakeside gardens. Sipping sundowners with a view over Port Phillip Bay's not half bad either! Whether you're dreaming of a romantic escape, a family-friendly holiday or a special celebration with friends, Victoria's foodie escapes await.
