What to expect
You'll depart from Central Melbourne and head into wine country with a flexible itinerary. The bus runs to a set timetable, but you decide which four venues to visit and how long to stay at each. Most wineries now charge for tastings, so book ahead—staff can recommend spots if you're uncertain. Expect to spend 7–8 hours total, including travel time. The audio guide narrates the journey between stops, giving context on the region's wine history and landscape. Bring the timetable (emailed to you) to plan strategically, as you can't visit all stops in one day.
Good to know
Tastings aren't included, so budget accordingly and book venues beforehand. This is adults-only (18+). Service animals are welcome. Public transport options exist nearby if needed. Comfortable shoes recommended for walking between cellar doors.
