It was Major Thomas Mitchell who first discovered Lexton back in 1836. During that time, this area was regarded as the crossroads of Victoria; an area where many people passed through as they travelled to Sydney.

Mount Mitchell should certainly be in your itinerary. This elegant, historic homestead was established in 1838, and is filled with Victorian rural history and numerous heritage buildings. Stroll through its tranquil gardens, which are often booked for celebrating special events and milestones. Mount Mitchell also has excellent accommodation options, which are highly recommended because staying for just a few hours isn’t enough to take in the views and the wine.

Another great place to stop by during your visit to Lexton is the famed Pyrenees Hotel. Built in 1845, spending a night or two here will immerse you in beauty and history.
