About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring Yarra Valley's finest producers on a private tour from Melbourne. Start with artisan cheese at a local dairy, move through three wineries for tastings, then settle into a champagne brunch featuring house-made charcuterie and oysters at Chandon. Round it out with gin flights at Four Pillars Distillery, punctuated by platters of smoked meats, nuts and house-made accompaniments throughout the day. No hiking boots required—this is about savouring rather than rushing.

What to expect
Your driver collects you from Melbourne and heads into the valley's rolling vineyards. You'll move between four drink producers—starting with cheese, building through wine tastings at three estates, then anchoring the day with a proper brunch spread and sparkling wines at Chandon before finishing at the distillery. Between each stop, grazing platters keep momentum smooth. The pace is deliberate; you're tasting, not rushing between cellar doors. Expect friendly winery staff, generous pours, and plenty of time to chat with your group and guide.
