Yarra Glen is an attractive town located on the Yarra River, north of Lilydale and west of Healesville.

The attractive tree-lined commercial centre of Yarra Glen includes the prominant landmark of the Grand Hotel which built in 1888. A recreation reserve is located along the northern bank of the Yarra River and is particularly spectacular in Autumn.

The town itself is set amongst the rolling hills of the fertile Yarra Valley which is home to a large number of vineyards. Some of the larger wineries in the area include the historic Gulf Station homestead and farm, the impressive Chateau Yering which includes a winery and tourist complex, and the De Bortoli winery and restuarant, located a short drive north of town in Dixons Creek.

The Sugarloaf Reservoir, located west of Yarra Glen in neighbouring Christmas Hills, includes several picnic and BBQ areas, walking tracks, and lookouts at the dam wall.
