About this tour
A 6.5-hour wine tasting tour from Melbourne into the Yarra Valley, visiting 3–4 working vineyards for tastings. Hotel pickup is included, so you skip the drive yourself. It suits wine enthusiasts wanting a structured introduction to the region without the logistics of planning stops or navigating between cellar doors. Lunch isn't provided, so plan accordingly or eat beforehand.
Highlights
- Three to four vineyard visits with tastings at each stop
- Hotel pickup from Melbourne included; no driving required
- Early departure to maximise time in the valley
- Infant car seats available for families with small children
- Moderate fitness level suitable for most visitors

What to expect
You'll be collected from your Melbourne hotel early in the morning and driven straight to the Yarra Valley. Once there, you'll spend the bulk of the day moving between vineyards—typically 3 to 4 stops—sampling wines at each location. The pace allows time to learn about each vineyard's offerings and ask questions. You'll return to Melbourne by afternoon.
Bring water and comfortable walking shoes, as vineyard grounds vary. There's no structured meal included, so eat a good breakfast or plan to grab lunch in the valley itself (not covered by the tour).
