Uncommon Local – Yarra

Friday 10 October 2025
12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

The event

It’s Common Sense to connect with amazing people and we created Uncommon Local Yarra to bring the people we know who live in the Yarra Ranges and Yarra Valley to connect and truly get to know one another.  An extension of our experiences that is a little more relaxed as an added benefit for our members to further build stronger relationships with each other and their friends and contacts who live in this large and diverse area.

It’s great to meet wonderful people and find interesting and unique restaurants, wineries and hidden establishments while continuing to build strong relationships with people that have also decided that living where they are is amazing. We are always looking for fantastic suggestions and family favorites to add to the list.

This booking is so that we know who is coming as we have grown. It has become harder to book a place without informing the venue of the numbers. You will choose the main meal you wish and pay for your own alcohol. The greatest part of this is it reduces the commute.

We encourage you to look at the Uncommon Local LinkedIn Group as it will tell you who is attending. Organise to catch up with someone before lunch or continue after. Feel free to bring a guest, friend or client.

We have another group in the area for people that like to play golf. They usually tee off in the morning, do 9 holes and ruin a perfectly good walk then come and join us for lunch. We intend to have four different groups around Melbourne and bring them together once a year for a Golf Competition. If you are interested please reach out.
