The Yarra Valley is one of Victoria’s most iconic food‑and‑wine regions, and this full‑day small‑group tour is designed to help you experience it exactly the way you want. Blending premium tastings, flexible choices, and a relaxed guiding style, this tour offers a refreshing alternative to the typical set‑itinerary wine day. If you’re looking for a fun, social, and down‑to‑earth way to explore the valley, this experience delivers from the very first stop.
Departing from **74 Spring Street in East Melbourne**, your day begins with a comfortable ride aboard an air‑conditioned bus, complete with chilled water and a collaborative playlist you can add your own songs to. From there, the journey unfolds through rolling vineyards, boutique estates, and artisan producers that showcase the region’s best flavours.
Across the day, you’ll enjoy **tastings at four hand‑picked venues**, typically including two wineries, a gin distillery, and a chocolate or ice‑cream stop. Expect standout experiences such as wine and cider at **Yering Farm**, elegant tastings at **Tokar Estate**, and the option to choose between a gin paddle at **Four Pillars**, a wine flight at **Payten & Jones**, or a beer tasting at **Watts River Brewery**. This flexibility is a signature part of the tour—giving you the freedom to tailor the day to your taste.
Lunch is at your own expense, with the choice of **Huberts Estate/Quarters** or the sparkling‑wine haven **Domaine Chandon**, both offering stunning settings and delicious menus. The afternoon rounds out with a sweet stop at the **Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery**, with the occasional option to continue tasting wines at Yarrawood Estate if time allows.
With a friendly guide, a casual vibe, and the ability to adjust venues when needed, this tour is ideal for travellers who want a memorable, social, and flavour‑filled escape from Melbourne. Whether you’re a wine lover, a foodie, or simply chasing a great day out, the Yarra Valley is ready to impress.
