Eat
- Yarra Glen Grand Hotel serves up some very tasty meals from about $20. The building is easily recognised in town due to its large tower. It's worth wandering into just to check out the decor even if you only stop for a drink. (Location: 19 Bell Street, Tel: 9730 1230)
- A few kilometres out of town, Zonzo is attached to the Train Trak winery and serves up some great pizzas (Location: 957 Healesville Yarra Glen Road, Tel: 9730 2500)
- Yarra Valley Dairy in nearby Yering is a great place to enjoy some fine local cheeses. Their Persian Feta is one of their most popular cheeses. (Location: Mc Meikans Road, Yering. Tel: 9739 0023)

Drink
- Hargreaves Hill Tasting Centre has a selection of locally made Hargreaves Hill's ales on tap. (Location: 25 Bell St, in the old National Australia Bank building. Open: Wed-Sun, 12noon til late. Tel: 9730 1905)
