What to expect

Your guide collects you and drives into the Yarra Valley, discussing the region's wine history and producing areas along the way. You'll stop at venues of your choosing—tastings happen on-site at each location, with fees negotiable depending on purchases. The valley's steep terrain means walking between tasting rooms and vineyard views is gentle but involves some inclines. Around midday you'll break for a meal at a pre-arranged spot, whether that's a winery restaurant, brewery garden, or designated scenic picnic area. The day winds down with a final stop or two before returning to Melbourne by early evening.
