About this tour
A private 8–9 hour wine tour of Yarra Valley where you pick 1 to 4 boutique wineries to visit, customise your itinerary around gin, beer, or champagne if you like, and finish at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie. You'll travel by private car with a guide who talks through the region's winemaking history and stories. Suits couples, small groups, and anyone after a tailored tasting experience rather than a fixed coach route.

What to expect
You'll be collected by private car and driven to your first chosen winery. At each stop, you'll taste and learn from the guide, who explains the vineyard's approach and the wines on offer. You pick how long to linger — some people spend 45 minutes, others just 20. Between stops, the guide fills in stories about Yarra Valley's history and the craft behind the bottles. Midway through or towards the end, depending on what you've booked, you might visit a distillery or brewery instead of a winery. The day winds down with a stop at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie for a final treat before you're driven back.

Good to know
Ideal for wine enthusiasts, couples, and small groups (up to 4) who want flexibility rather than a fixed itinerary. Those with poor cardiovascular health or pregnant should not book. The 8–9 hours includes driving time, so actual tasting hours are fewer; ask roughly how many wineries fit that window. Private transport and guide are included; tastings and purchases are separate and paid on the day. Peak times are weekends and school holidays — book well ahead if you're travelling then. You'll need to nominate your winery picks when you confirm; last-minute changes may not be possible depending on venue availability.
