What to expect
Your guide meets you in central Melbourne and drives the group an hour northeast to the Yarra Valley wine region. You'll spend the day moving between four established wineries, sampling wines at each stop with informative commentary on terroir and production methods. Midway through, you'll visit an Aboriginal art gallery, then head to the chocolate factory for tasting samples.
