Step behind the famous hedges of Coombe Yarra Valley, established in 1909 as the private home of Australia's beloved opera star, Dame Nellie Melba. Just 50 minutes from Melbourne, the property offers a blend of history, beauty, and exceptional dining.
Explore seven acres of gardens designed by William Guilfoyle, or take a tour of Melba’s historic home, filled with Victoria's most intact private collection of art and artefacts. Indulge in estate-grown wines at the cellar door, or enjoy a seasonal menu in the restaurant, and don’t miss the iconic Peach Melba dessert, created in Melba’s honour.
Immerse yourself in a luxury, outdoor sip-and-paint workshop set within the historic Melba Gardens at Coombe Yarra Valley. Hosted by Melbourne artist and fashion illustrator Susan Kerian, this intimate three-hour event offers expert guidance to capture the estate's vibrant flora on canvas.
Guests will enjoy a Peach Melba Spritz on arrival, free-flowing estate wines and sparkling, and an individual gourmet charcuterie and cheese board while painting.
Tickets are $140.00 per person and include all art supplies to create a completed canvas artwork to take home.
