About this region
Pyrenees
The Victorian Pyrenees is a quietly beautiful wine region between Ballarat and Ararat, renowned for full-bodied shiraz and elegant riesling. Volcanic lakes, native yellow box woodland and the historic gold rush towns of Avoca and Beaufort make this one of Victoria's most underrated escapes. The Pyrenees Ranges rise to dramatic lookouts with views across the Western District plains.
