Less than half an hour from the King Valley, Rutherglen and Beechworth wine areas, Wangaratta makes a great base and you'll have a hard time deciding what you should do first.
The vibrant CBD offers diverse shopping and laneways, alfresco cafés and bars, arts precinct and parks and gardens.
The Riverside Precinct is a popular dining strip along the Ovens River, however there are plenty of restaurant options in the CBD proper.

In town and out, you will find a wide range of cycling opportunities to explore the sights by bike and you don't need to be an elite cyclist to enjoy them.
The Ovens–Warby Ranges are also nearby and offer bushwalking trails of various lengths and difficulties so grab your hiking boots and explore the beautiful walking tracks.
You will find a number of hikes for sightseers and experienced hikers alike – you might even see mobs of wallabies or kangaroos if you are out and about at dusk or dawn.
Enjoy cascading waterfalls and rushing streams and at various times throughout the year, you will hear up to half a dozen different calls of local frog species.
Dropping in a line and teaching the kids to fish is easy with the Ovens and King Rivers flowing in and around Wangaratta and there are various spots you can settle your camping chair as you wait for a bite.
