About this experience
With a wine growing history of over 180 years, the Yarra Valley is Victoria’s oldest wine growing region.
Today it is one of the world’s leading cold climate wine growing regions with internationally known names such as Domaine Chandon, St Huberts and De Bortoli.
Not only is the Yarra Valley famous for its vineyards, it has many other attractions too and we can help you visit all of them.
We know it’s sensible advice to not mix your drinks but what if you’re in a region where you can sample, wine, cider, beer, gin, whisky and locally made liqueurs? It’s hard not to!
The great news is we have contacts across the Valley and can customise your day each and every time to ensure it’s got the perfect blend for you, your group and of course your budget.
We try to not go to the venues most of the other companies go to and we also try to limit your time on this bus and will book venues that are close together to maximise your winery time.

We give groups around 2 hours to settle in and enjoy their lunch as well as their 2nd tasting.

The 3rd stop of the day is our last tasting but we encourage groups to get comfortable with a bottle of their favourite and enjoy the scenery after the tasting.
This stop lasts around 90 minutes so plenty of time to relax and chat before we start heading back.
