What to expect
You'll climb aboard a carriage pulled by horses and meander through the rolling terrain of Pokolbin at a relaxed pace. The route connects you to three tasting stops, where you'll spend time trying wines and locally made products rather than rushing through cellar-door queues. Between stops, there's time to take in the valley's typical stone-dotted paddocks and vineyard rows. The experience feels more like an outing with a local than a structured tour—you're given space to chat with staff at each venue and ask questions about what you're tasting.
