Spring Experiences You’ll Love in Victoria 

Spring in Victoria is marked by melting snow-capped mountains, blooming wildflowers, warmer days, and the optimism of the season ahead. Known for its vibrant spring festivals, Victoria offers the perfect opportunity to explore the great outdoors. 

To help you plan your ideal spring escape, here are some of the state’s best seasonal experiences: 

Floral Festivities 

Victoria bursts into colour each spring with breathtaking floral events across the state. Standouts on the spring calendar include the Tesselaar Tulip Festival and the CherryHill Blossom Festival—both much-loved annual attractions. The Pomonal Native Flower Show is another must-visit, while Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens come alive with rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, daffodils, and tulips. 

The Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens is another gem, showcasing 36 hectares of spectacular spring displays. 

Road Trip Season 

Spring is one of the best times of year to hit the road and explore. With so many fantastic destinations just a short drive from Melbourne, why not venture beyond the city this season? 

In the Yarra Valley, blossoming orchards, vibrant wildflowers, and bustling vineyards set the scene for a perfect day out. Enjoy a tasting of cool-climate wines paired with fresh local produce. 

The Mornington Peninsula is another spring favourite, with vibrant restaurants, bustling markets, and scenic hiking trails. Soak up the views along the Bushrangers Bay Walk, Two Bays Walking Track, or in Point Nepean National Park—and reward yourself with a soak at the Peninsula Hot Springs after a big day of exploring. 

Mountain Moments 

Spring is a great time to head to higher ground, and Victoria has no shortage of mountain escapes. In the High Country, enjoy bushwalking, mountain biking, wildflower spotting, and wine-tasting. Seasonal festivals like the Beechworth Vignerons Spring Tasting and the Mansfield High Country Festival add to the charm. 

In the Grampians, spring brings flowing waterfalls and active wildlife. With more than 1,130 plant species—including 130 types of orchids, Grampians boronia, and blue pincushion lily—this is the best time to see the region in bloom. Visit MacKenzie Falls or Silverband Falls for stunning views and tranquil surrounds, and keep an eye out for kangaroos, emus, koalas, and wedge-tailed eagles. 

The Budburst Macedon Ranges Wine Festival also returns this year, offering a once-a-year opportunity to go beyond the cellar door and sip rare wines you won’t find anywhere else.
