What to expect
After collecting you from central Melbourne, you'll head into wine country for back-to-back tastings at working producers. Each stop runs 30–45 minutes; you'll sample locally made cheese, try a few regional wines, and browse their retail areas. Mid-tour, you'll take a glass of Chandon and browse the cellar door (lunch is separate). The final stretch shifts to wildlife: you'll drive through the National Park with your guide scanning for kangaroos, then step out for a short walk to photograph them up close. All tastings are included; expect to spend extra at Chandon and any gift shop.
Good to know
Small groups mean a more personal experience. The kangaroo sighting is guaranteed or your money back. Prams work fine for young kids. Wear comfortable shoes for the short nature walk. Public transport runs nearby if you prefer independent travel.
