1. We’ll meet bright and early 8:00 am at Proserpina Bakehouse in Ferny Creek for coffee and pastries. We will have our final briefing at 8:45 am before we leave at 9:00 am to roll out for a scenic run down Monbulk Road to our first stop at the Silvan Reservoir Park, a tranquil pocket of bushland with views, fresh air, and plenty of space to stretch your legs.

2. From there we wind through the orchards and farmland of Seville, taking Wiseman Road to the charming Carriage Café, where another "coffee stop" awaits. It’s a dog-friendly venue with plenty of parking and relaxed country hospitality — a perfect mid-morning break.
NOTE: When you see the "café parking" flag, there is still a 300 metre, easy walk to the cafe.

3. Next, we meander through Sunnyside Road and Gruyere’s rolling vineyard country, arriving at the Yarra Glen Racecourse Market just as it hits full swing. Browse gourmet produce, local crafts, and maybe grab a treat or two before our final leg. This can be your final destination for lunch at the Yarra Glen Racecourse Market or you can continue to the RACV Resort - Riddell's Green cafe as a walkin (no reservation)
4. The last stretch is a short, scenic drive along Old Healesville Road past the RACV Healesville Country Club, NOTE: FYI - RACV Resort has ChargeFox EV chargers.
5. Final possible destination for lunch is the RACV Resort - Riddell's Green cafe as a walkin (no reservation)
Your TOCA Vic committee looks forward to seeing many new and familiar members on this spectacularly scenic and unique cruise.
