What to expect

You'll be collected from Melbourne early morning and driven to Yarra Valley, roughly an hour north. Across the day, you'll pull into four wineries of your guide's choosing (substitutions happen if venues close). At each, you'll taste their current range—typically 4–6 wines per cellar door—and learn how local conditions shape their character. Lunch is a seated affair at one of the properties, usually with a plate matched to their wines. Between stops, your guide offers context on the region's history and winemaking methods. The pace is unhurried; you're not rushed through tasting rooms. Finish by late afternoon back in Melbourne.
