Overview

This tour is perfect for those looking to experience the best of the Yarra Valley, without dedicating an entire day to do it.

As part of our small-group tour (yes small, we have a maximum of 15 guests on board) you will taste 16+ different wines; have plenty of photo-ops in-front of sprawling vineyards; and share it all with your fellow fun-loving travellers on board.

Start your day with a complimentary barista coffee at our central departure location
From there, we make our way into the Valley, where the vineyards start to sprawl out in front of us.

Arriving at our first venue, this is where the real fun begins.
We have designed this tour to give you a curated taste of three uniquely different Yarra Valley wineries - from premium estates, to boutique cellar doors, and one that looks like its straight out of Italy itself.
And of course we includes a guided tasting at each stop!

Our tour concludes with a journey back to Melbourne, dropping you off in the heart of the city.

  • Complimentary Barista Coffee at our convenient departure to start your day
