What to expect
Your guide picks you up from Melbourne in the morning and drives you into Yarra Valley. You'll stop at up to four wineries across the day, spending time at each to taste wines and learn about the vineyard's approach — timing and depth are guided by your interests. At one of the wineries, you'll have lunch in a scenic setting.
The exact stops depend on availability; if a winery you'd prefer is booked, the guide will suggest a comparable alternative. You'll return to Melbourne in the late afternoon. The pace is relaxed — you're not rushing between stops, and your guide shares knowledge about the region's history and winemaking methods without overwhelming you if you're new to wine.
