Immerse yourself in the grandeur of Werribee Mansion, a testament to 19th-century craftsmanship and take a wander through the manicured formal gardens, marvel at the expansive landscape, and explore the grotto and ornamental lake that add a touch of elegance to the surroundings. Wander down to the heritage orchard, and witness the efforts of the community and Parks Victoria in preserving and restoring the fruit orchard originally planted by the Chirnside family in the late 1800s. For a perfect day out, enjoy afternoon tea on the grounds at the Refectory Parlour, open for morning tea and lunch, indulge in a delightful high tea at Joseph's Dining or stop in at the award-winning Shadowfax Winery for tasting and woodfire pizza. Explore the heritage orchard further or head over to the Werribee Open Range Zoo for an adventurous day among African animals. The zoo offers a unique safari experience, allowing visitors to get up close with a variety of wildlife in a naturalistic setting.
