What to expect
You'll be collected from a central Melbourne location mid-morning for the drive into the Yarra Valley. The tour takes you to three carefully selected wineries, where you'll taste wines and soak in the valley's scenery at a deliberately unhurried pace. At one or more stops, you have the option to buy a grazing platter or nibbles to pair with your tastings.
The day wraps up with a return to Melbourne. Itineraries and timings may shift slightly depending on winery schedules and group flow, but you'll be kept informed of any changes. The whole experience runs about five-and-a-half hours including travel.

Good to know
This suits wine drinkers who want to explore the region without rushing through multiple tastings or starting at dawn. It's pitched at people seeking a social, leisurely afternoon rather than an intensive tasting masterclass. Note: not recommended for pregnant travellers, those with spinal injuries, or anyone with cardiovascular concerns. Summer brings sun and native flies—if insects bother you, reconsider. Hotel pickup isn't included; you meet at a central Melbourne point. Grazing platters cost extra. Public transport is nearby if needed. Prams and strollers are welcome for infants. Suitable for all fitness levels. The itinerary may vary slightly day to day.
