Out of Towners: Red HillA short drive from town, Red Hill and its surrounds offer the perfect late autumn escape – filled with food, wine and all things relaxing.by Cara WatersF or lovers of food and drink, a pilgrimage to beautiful Red Hill is well worth the 90-minute drive from Melbourne. It doesn’t have the glitz and glamour of neighbouring Portsea and Sorrento, but really, that only adds to Red Hill’s appeal. The area is full of rolling hills covered in vines, while the fertile soil means that every second farm gate you pass has a stall out the front selling avocados, cherries and even local cider.
Here are some highlights from Red Hill and its surrounds: |
