Life in Lancefield

Lancefield is a charming country town situated at the heart of one of rural Victoria’s most celebrated agricultural regions. Located 70 km to the north of Melbourne and just a half an hour’s drive from Melbourne International Airport at Tullamarine, Lancefield is supremely situated to enjoy life with a foot in both worlds – the convenience and opportunity offered by living a short distance from a major city, and the laid-back, bucolic lifestyle of true rural living.

Lancefield has a lively retail strip, with shops offering an array of interesting and attractive antiques, books, gifts, and artwork. The town also boasts fine cool-climate produce that can be sampled and purchased at the popular monthly farmers’ market, where organic delicacies such as honey, olive oil, fruits, veggies, and meats are in plentiful supply. Award-winning chardonnays and pinots can also be sampled in town, or on a weekend tour of the local wineries and vineyards. Lancefield’s quiet country charm, several great public and private schools, friendly locals, and rich, vibrant culture make it the perfect place to visit or relocate for anyone wanting to get away from the hubbub of the big city.
