Yarra Valley Grazing Tour Wine, Cheese, Gin, Pizza from Melbourne

About this tour

This nine-hour Yarra Valley tour strings together tastings across four gourmet stops: wine at a local vineyard, artisan cheese, craft gin paired with wood-fired pizza, and chocolate. You'll travel by air-conditioned coach from Melbourne hotels with a knowledgeable guide, plus free time to wander Healesville's town centre. All tastings are covered, and you'll get a hot drink and onboard Wi-Fi thrown in.

What to expect

You'll be collected from your hotel early morning and driven to four separate producers dotted across the valley. Each stop lasts roughly an hour—enough time to taste, chat with makers, and ask questions without feeling rushed. The gin and pizza stop breaks up the day nicely with something more casual. Between venues you'll have time to settle in, chat with other travellers, and take in the rolling vineyard views. Healesville gives you an hour or so to grab lunch (at your own cost), browse galleries, or simply sit with a coffee. By late afternoon you're back in Melbourne.
