The first thing most people want to do when they buy a new Suzuki is to head out on an exciting road trip. Now that the months are warmer, it’s the perfect time to explore everything that Victoria has to offer – whether you prefer the beach, the bush or a seaside town with charm.

At Mantello Suzuki, we’ve put together a list of exciting road trip destinations for you to explore this summer in Victoria so that you can hit the road as soon as possible.

The Yarra Valley

 With never-ending rows of vineyards set against a dramatic backdrop of the Great Dividing Range, The Yarra Valley is perfect for a day trip or a weekend getaway. There are cellar doors, boutique wineries and, for those who can’t resist good cheese, there’s the Yarra Valley Dairy.

Wilson’s Promontory

If you’re looking for an exciting road trip in Victoria, Wilson’s Prom has it all. Just two hours and thirty minutes from Melbourne, it has wildlife, walks and is a popular camping spot in the warmer months.

If you’re lucky enough to have a Suzuki Jimny, you’ll know it was designed to get out in nature. With a powerful 1.5L engine and advanced 4WD technology, it has a no-flex chassis, high ground clearance and was born to tackle the great outdoors in style.

Daylesford & Hepburn Springs

Located about an hour and a half from Melbourne, Daylesford and Hepburn Springs are part of Victoria’s ‘spa country’ and are popular due to their 141 mineral springs in the area.

The ideal spot for rest and relaxation (or bush walks if that’s your thing) Daylesford and Hepburn Springs are among the most popular tourist spots in Victoria. There are wineries, history, culture, art classes, workshops and plenty of book fairs dotted throughout the year.

The Suzuki S-Cross is the perfect vehicle for a road trip of any length – it has space for all your stuff due to its intelligent interior design and offers exceptional performance.

The Victorian Alps

The perfect place for bike riding, drinking local wines, kayaking or hiking – The Victorian Alps are the place to head if you’re looking for somewhere a little further afield. At almost four hours away from Melbourne, this is a great road trip destination for those really wanting to test out the comfort of their new Suzuki.

The Grampians

If you’re heading to The Grampians for your next road trip, the best place to start is at Halls Gap. Wind your way along the stunning mountains and indigenous art sites towards award-winning wineries and exceptional local produce.

The tourist village of Halls Gap has accommodation, eateries, shopping and has a fascinating history. Known for breathtaking sunsets and sunrises, it’s no wonder that the Grampians have inspired artists, writers and filmmakers for decades.

Phillip Island

Just 90 minutes from Melbourne, Phillip Island is the place to go if you want to spot fairy penguins in the wild as they make their daily walk from the sea up to the beach.

 If you’re looking for a road trip to remember, the Suzuki Baleno always has the goods. It has 355 litres of luggage space, comfy seats, advanced safety features and has been engineered for maximum efficiency.
