Itinerary
Our one-day Yarra Valley tour begins in Melbourne, where we’ll transfer you to the rolling hills of the Valley. We’ll stop off at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice-Creamery so you can grab a bite to eat and sample some mouth-watering sweet treats from the region.
We’ll then move on to the Gateway Estate, a gourmet farm that makes their own range of delicious relishes, which you can tuck into with a platter of local fruit and cheese. Afterwards, we’ll head to the Napoleone Brewery and Cider House, where you can try rustic ciders and ales.
At the Dominique Portet Winery, you can sample wines produced by this well-loved wine making family and have the chance to win a bottle of plonk while you’re at it.
For lunch, it’s a two-course meal at Rochford Wines, which consist of seasonal produce cooked to perfection, before a stroll around the estate.
To finish, we’ll make our way to Killara Estate Winery in the upper Yarra Valley, where you can end the day with a tasty selection of Italian-inspired food and wine alongside some incredible views of the region. Then it’s back through the dipping valleys to Melbourne, where the tour comes to an end.
