Shedfest Small Wineries of the Warburton Valley

The picturesque Warburton Highway, in the Yarra Valley, is home to some of the most inviting wineries in the region.

The Warburton Golf and Sporting Club is situated at the entrance to the township of Warburton, in Dammans Rd. This picturesque and challenging course provides you with amazing views, spectacular holes, particularly the 18th, and flowing water from the Ythan Creek.
