About this tour
Spend 7–9 hours exploring Victoria's Yarra Valley on a private tour built around your interests. You'll taste wines at cellar doors, sample locally made cheese or gin, and stop for gourmet morning tea and lunch at regional producers. The valley sits among mountain ranges and borders one of Australia's premier wildlife sanctuaries, so wildlife spotting sits alongside food and drink.
Highlights
- Maker-led tastings of cheese or gin from local producers
- Cellar door wine education with winemakers or sommeliers
- Gourmet morning tea and sit-down lunch included
- Private itinerary shaped to your pace and preferences
- Access to wildlife sanctuary near rolling vineyard country
- Fully customisable — most dietary needs and interests accommodated
What to expect
Your guide will drive you between 3–5 stops across the valley, stopping longer where your interests lie. At each cellar door or producer, expect a 30–45 minute tutored tasting with background on the maker's craft. Morning tea arrives mid-morning at a scenic spot or tasting room; lunch is a proper meal, not a quick bite. The pace is leisurely — this isn't a tick-box race. Wildlife sightings aren't guaranteed but the sanctuary's proximity means you'll pass through or near native habitat. The landscape is green hills and vineyards, not wilderness.
