What to expect
You'll start with hotel pickup in Melbourne, then head into the Yarra Valley wine region. At each winery, your driver-guide introduces the vineyard, its wines, and the tasting approach—no rushing between stops. You pick the pace: linger over a particular drop, ask questions, or move ahead as you wish. Midway through, you choose your lunch spot and settle in for a proper meal with views across the vines. The afternoon continues with remaining tastings before returning to Melbourne. Expect a relaxed, conversational day rather than a scripted performance.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes suitable for vineyard grounds. The region can be warm in summer, cool in winter. Prams, strollers, and infant seats are available if needed. Service animals welcome. Plan to drink water between tastings—you're not driving. Gratuities and personal expenses aren't covered in the price.
