What to expect

While the Yarra Valley is a world-renowned wine growing region, wine is only half the story of this gourmet wonderland and our tour provides a fine blend of the very best of the region's wines and other gourmet produce.

We start the day with a visit to one of the valley's true icons, Balgownie Estate where we'll enjoy a tasting from their extensive range of quality wines. We'll learn how to swirl, sniff and slurp like true connoisseurs, while tasting some of the very finest cool climate wines.

Our next destination is Coldstream Dairy where the fresh cheeses will truly melt in your mouth. The warm welcome here is matched only by the quality of the views and the locally-produced cheeses will have your tastebuds working overtime!

Established in 2015 in Healesville, the Four Pillars Gin Distillery has swiftly become a symbol of the Yarra Valley, offering a glimpse into a gin paradise that proudly presents the finest Australian gin to a global audience. Distinguished as the first distillery to clinch the esteemed IWSC award for International Gin Producer Of the Year three times, this location is sure to leave a lasting impression. Here we'll learn a little about gin production and relish the experience by indulging in a delightful G&T tasting paddle in Jude's Gin Garden.

Our lunch is at the fabulous Rochford Wines where our guests can choose from four different main meals, with a glass of wine & tea/coffee. We'll also enjoy an included tasting of Rochford's extensive range of quality wines. Take some time to explore the gift shop, or perhaps climb the spiral staircase to enjoy the panoramic views from Rochford's famous lookout tower.

Before returning to Melbourne, we'll visit the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie where you're welcomed with an exclusive chocolate tasting, displays of thousands of premium chocolates and European chocolatiers at work handcrafting their chocolate creations.

You will commence the journey home knowing that they have enjoyed the very best that the Yarra Valley has to offer.
