Overview

Gruyère lies 43 km north‑east of Melbourne’s central business district in the Shire of Yarra Ranges and recorded a population of 966 at the 2021 census. Known locally as the “Toorak of the Yarra Valley,” it attracts wealthier retirees seeking a semi‑rural lifestyle surrounded by vineyards, orchards and cattle farms that produce apples, pears and other agricultural goods. The town’s heritage ties to the dairy industry are reflected in its name, which references the famous cheese variety.

Residents enjoy a modest range of community amenities, including a recreation reserve, community hall, CFA fire station and several nearby wineries. Although the primary school is currently closed, the area remains close to natural attractions such as the Warramate Hills and the Yarra River Heritage River, offering easy access to outdoor pursuits while still being within commuting distance of Melbourne.
