About this tour
Spend eight and a half hours exploring three Yarra Valley wineries with a social group, starting at the historic Yering Station. Tastings happen at two cellar doors, then you'll stop by a strawberry farm for fresh produce before lunch at St Hubert Estate. The full tasting option adds a gin distillery paddle. Small groups (up to 20) mean genuine camaraderie rather than coach-load anonymity, plus there's decent music and a guide who knows the region.
Highlights
- Tastings at two premium wineries including Yering Station
- Fresh strawberries and local jams straight from the farm gate
- Gin tasting paddle at a working distillery (full experience option)
- Lunch break at St Hubert Estate with whisky and wine options
- Relaxed pace designed for conversation and new friends
- Comfortable transport from Melbourne) with curated soundtrack
What to expect
You'll meet your group early morning and head out in a minibus toward wine country. The first two wineries offer proper tastings—not rushed sips. A farm stop breaks things up with seasonal fruit you can actually eat. By mid-morning you'll roll into St Hubert Estate for a proper lunch break (you buy your own food at their restaurant), where you can optionally pay extra for additional tastings if you fancy it. If you've chosen the full tasting package, there's a gin distillery stop. The vibe stays social throughout—you're travelling with up to 19 other people who signed up for the same reason.
Good to know
Lunch is not included; eat breakfast beforehand as the meal break hits around 11:45am. Summer heat plus alcohol is a real combination—come prepared. Venues occasionally change due to private events, so confirm your exact itinerary ahead. The tour doesn't include hotel pick-ups, and it's not suitable for those with mobility concerns or spinal issues.
