What to expect
Your guide collects you from your Melbourne accommodation and you'll spend the day discovering Yarra Valley's vineyard landscape. You set the number of cellar doors to visit—whether that's three wineries or six depends on your appetite for tasting and lingering. Each stop includes commentary on production methods, regional character, and varietal differences specific to the valley's cool climate. Around midday, lunch arrives at an established estate like Balgownie, with one wine pairing included; additional bottles are your shout. The pace is unhurried; you're not herded through group tastings or fighting crowds.
Good to know
Alcohol service requires ID proving age 18+. Vegetarian meals must be requested during booking. The vehicle lacks child safety seats, so guardians of under-12s must sign a liability waiver. Pickup from cruise ports available on request. Additional wine purchases at lunch aren't included.
