This full-day small-group bus tour begins in Melbourne and focuses on the Yarra Valley’s wildlife and vineyards. The morning is spent at Healesville Sanctuary, home to over 200 species of Australian native animals. Visitors can observe koalas, kangaroos, emus, and other animals in a natural bushland setting. Optional animal encounters include a Kangaroo Encounter with feeding and petting opportunities if the animal allows, and a Koala Encounter for close photos without touching. These encounters require an additional fee and should be requested in advance. In the early afternoon, the tour continues to Yering Station Vineyard. Here, guests taste estate and reserve wines in the historic cellar door, followed by an a la carte main course lunch served in a modern, light-filled restaurant. The meal includes a glass of wine and coffee. The day concludes at De Bortoli Winery, located on over 450 acres of vineyard-covered hills. This stop features a wine tasting of estate and premium wines, including their well-known dessert wine, Noble One. The tasting is paired with selected cheeses. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off at selected Melbourne hotels, bottled water, live commentary, and in-vehicle air conditioning. The total duration is about 10 hours.
