Yarra Valley Dairy is a cracking spot for anyone keen on local cheese, about an hour out of Melbourne in the Yarra Valley. They make their artisan cheeses right there on the farm. You can drop into their farm gate from 10:30 am to 5 pm daily and try some of their range, like the Persian Fetta or their Double Brie. They also do a Black Savourine Cow Curd with Fresh Herbs and a Salted Honey Cow variety. If you're into fresh goat's cheese, they've got that too. It's a good chance to see where all the magic happens and pick up some tips on storing cheese or putting together a ripper cheese platter. They even share recipes on their website, like Whipped Fetta three ways or Moroccan Spiced Lamb Loin Chops with Dill and Chive Persian Fetta. You can pick up a gift voucher too, which is handy if you're looking for a present. It's a proper local experience, showing off the best of what the Yarra Valley offers.
