Ararat Region

Centred on the city of Ararat in western Victoria, this region is flanked by the Grampians and Mount Langi Ghiran. Vineyards, sheep farms and the eerie J Ward asylum museum define its landscape. Residents hike a little‑known granite peak for sunrise and share stories at a tiny wine bar hidden inside an 1860s shopfront.
