Yarra Valley Food and Wine Lovers Tour Itinerary
Grapevines have been grown in the Yarra Valley for close on 200 years, as you’ll discover when you join our Yarra Valley Food and Wine Lovers Tour. The region’s cool climate gives it the perfect growing conditions for some of Australia’s favourite wines – including chardonnay, pinot noir and even sparkling varieties. But you don’t have to be a wine buff to enjoy this tour, which also includes an a la carte lunch at the Balgownie Estate and air-conditioned luxury transportation to and from pick up points in central Melbourne.
Your Yarra Valley small group tour begins with an hour’s journey through picturesque country scenery. Looking out across the exquisite Great Dividing Range, your first of four vineyard stops will be at Greenstone. Its unique soils produce intensely flavoured wines, which you’ll get to sample in the tasting room alongside an expert guide.
You’ll then continue on to the Balgownie Estate for a second tasting session, followed by your a la carte lunch. This comprises a main meal cooked to order at the estate’s eatery kitchens, a glass of wine from the estate (where else?), and tea or coffee to finish.
But you’re far from finished when it comes to exploring Victoria’s prodigious wines. You’ll be able to discover more about the history of wine production in the region during your visit to the antique copper fermentation tanks of Yering Farm, one of the region’s most charming vineyards.
From here you’ll head to your final stop of the day, the cellar door of Soumah of Yarra Valley. Whatever your tastes, you’re sure to find something to suit (and maybe take home) among their award-winning selection of grape varieties – comparable to those grown in the south of France and north of Italy.
Your tour ends with the return journey to Melbourne, and drop off at your chosen location.
