DAY ONE
8.30am — Bright Breakfast
The smell of deliciousness will be wafting around every corner, so follow your nose to one of the cafes in the town centre.
9.30am — River Walks
We’ve scheduled you some fresh mountain air on a lovely 5km-return riverside stroll along the charming Cherry Walk or Canyon Walk.
11.00am — Apple Farm
We recommend a little sojourn through Wandiligong, stopping in at the apple farm-gate store. Not only is it stocked full of local produce, but the scenery will make a pretty sweet backdrop for your Instagram couple selfies.
12.00pm — Lunch & Local Brews
Bright has a number of local brews – from beer, to coffee (…and wine and gin) – and all the venues serve lunch!
1.30pm — Mount Buffalo
‘Wow’ factor doesn’t get more wow than this – cuddle up on a romantic Portaledge Picnic on the iconic Mount Buffalo. Hanging off a cliff not your idea of romance? Pause at Buffalo’s Gorge Lookout then take a short hike to Ladies Bath and Eurobin Falls on the way down.
5.30pm — Punkah Nights
Back in the valley, stop in Porepunkah for dinner, grab a glass of wine, and watch the evening envelop the granite cliffs of Mount Buffalo.

Sorry to wake you, but it’s time to get on over to Mount Beauty, stopping at Tawonga Gap Lookout for a stunning view of Victoria’s highest mountain, Mount Bogong.
8.00am — Breakfast
You can always trust the bakery to be open early, with hot pastries and freshly brewed coffee.

Time to check out the streets of this old hydro-workers town and wander through its stores and produce market.

OK couples, time to chillax. Back in Bright, sit back and sip on a beverage at one of our wine bars or at the distillery or brewery.
