Overview

This small-group bus tour lasts about 8.5 hours and visits up to six stops in the Yarra Valley wine region near Melbourne. The day begins with a meeting at Arts Centre Melbourne Spire at 8:45 AM, departing promptly at 9:00 AM. The first stop is a strawberry farm where guests sample strawberries, seasonal fruits, and local jams, with a complimentary strawberry punnet per couple or solo traveler available until January 31, 2026. Next, the tour visits Yering Station, the oldest winery in the valley, for a wine tasting at its cellar door, known for cool climate wines and vineyard views. Then the group heads to St Hubert Estate for a lunch break at the Quarters bistro restaurant; lunch and drinks are at guests' own expense. Guests have time to explore the estate’s cellar door, wine shop, and indigenous art gallery, where additional wine, whisky, and gin tastings are available for separate fees. After lunch, the tour continues to Yering Farm Wines, a rustic winery offering wine tastings and an apple cider sample. The following stop is Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery, where a guided tasting of handcrafted chocolates is provided. The final stop varies by day: on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the tour visits Stag Lane Farm Distillery for an optional guided gin flight tasting with a mixer; on Tuesday and Wednesday, the stop is at Four Pillars Distillery, also offering an optional gin flight tasting. If no one opts for the gin tasting, the final stop is extended by 15 minutes and the group returns early to Melbourne, aiming to arrive by 5:30 PM or earlier. The tour includes tastings at two wineries, fresh fruit sampling, chocolate tastings, and optional gin tastings if the full tasting experience is selected.
