Victoria is a vast and diverse state, with a bounty of regions all offering rich hospitality experiences. From coastal spots like the Great Ocean Road and the Mornington Peninsula to road trip hotspots like Daylesford, Gippsland and Nagambie, we spent a lot of time exploring our backyard this year – and these are our favourite pubs, restaurants, cafés, distilleries and fine diners that we found along the way.
So if you're keen to get outside the city limits for a fantastic feed, check out these Time Out Melbourne Recommended Regional Venues for 2024. (Time Out Recommends 2024 is presented in partnership with Tyro.)
