At just over an hour’s drive from Melbourne CBD lies Healesville, in the heart of the Yarra Valley, the perfect escape from city life.
Famed for its wildlife, natural beauty and wineries, there are plenty of things to do in the town and surrounds for families all year round, and each season has its advantages.
Be swept away by the gorgeous scenery, lush forests, cascading vineyards and the charming township.
And then, of course, there’s the Beechworth Bakery right in the centre of town.
Famous far and wide not only for its food and remarkable customer-service but also for the relaxed family-friendly atmosphere, the bakery has its own spacious carpark out front.
It is often said that the Beechworth Bakery reminds people of their childhood, of “grandma’s kitchen”, of coming home to the scent of freshly baked scones and bread.
Beechworth Bakery offers a huge selection of food, appealing to “sweet-tooths” as well as those who are after a savoury treat.
There you will find cakes, fresh bread, pastries, slices, as well as a large selection of delicious pies, rolls, quiches, toasted focaccias and freshly made sandwiches.
The display cabinets look amazing filled with beestings, lamingtons, doughnuts, vanilla slices, apple pastries and so much more.
The bakery itself is filled with leather lounges, a double-sided fireplace, and plenty of tables and chairs, including the front and rear decks.
There’s also a garden complete with picnic tables out the back, situated right on the town’s creek, Grace Burn, with parkland and a spacious playground immediately across.
Whether eating in at Beechworth Bakery or getting your bakery goodies to go for a lovely picnic somewhere, make sure you also pick some extra goodies to take home.
You won’t regret it!
