Things to Do in the King Valley Now That It’s Warming Up

With the days getting longer and the chill fading away, the King Valley is the perfect place to embrace the sunshine and get outdoors again. From lazy afternoons at cellar doors to scenic drives through rolling vineyards, here are a few ways to make the most of the warmer weather during your stay at Bluestone Ridge. 

1. Explore the King Valley Wine Region 

Spring is the ideal time for wine tasting. Sip your way along Prosecco Road and meet the families behind some of Victoria’s most iconic wines. Local favourites like Dal Zotto, Pizzini and King River Estate are just a short drive from Bluestone Ridge.

2. Picnic by the River or Lake William Hovell 

Pack a basket with local cheese, bread and a bottle of wine, and head to Lake William Hovell for a relaxed afternoon surrounded by mountains and native forest. It’s perfect for swimming, kayaking or a gentle bike ride along the lakeside trail. Prefer to stay closer? The King River offers plenty of shady picnic spots just minutes away. 

3. Visit the Local Towns 

Wander through Whitfield, Cheshunt and Moyhu for friendly cafés, markets and farmgate produce. The Moyhu Farmers Market is a must-visit if you’re around on the fourth Saturday of the month. 

4. Get Outdoors and Explore 

The views from Powers Lookout are breathtaking in spring rolling green hills and clear blue skies as far as you can see. For something slower, visit Paradise Falls after a little rain, or hop on a bike and explore the scenic country roads and trails that wind through the valley. The gentle terrain and quiet roads make it ideal for riders of all levels. 

5. Evenings at Bluestone Ridge 

After a day of exploring, head back to the property, pour a glass of local wine and relax by the firepit as the sun sets behind the hills. It’s simple, peaceful, and everything a weekend in the country should be.
