Departing from Melbourne at 9:00 am, we take you on a picturesque journey through rolling hills and lush vineyards as we make our way to the heart of the Yarra Valley.

The day begins with a visit to Yarra Farm Fresh, where you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of fresh, locally grown fruits, including the region’s famous strawberries. It’s the perfect way to awaken your senses and prepare for the day ahead.

Next, we head to St Hubert’s Estate, a true gem of the Yarra Valley. Here, you’ll experience two guided wine tastings, sampling some of the finest wines the region has to offer. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the beautiful grounds and even taste a selection of spirits at the Notes Wine Store, including whisky, gin, and rum. As a special treat, every full-paying adult will receive a complimentary bottle of wine to take home.

For lunch, we’ll visit the renowned Rochford Wines. Enjoy a guided tasting of four wines before sitting down to a delicious meal at Isabella's Restaurant. With a choice of main course, sharing sides, and a glass of wine included, you’ll savour every bite while soaking in the stunning vineyard views. For those who fancy something extra, there’s an optional gin tasting at the Gin Bar.

In the afternoon, we’ll satisfy your sweet tooth with a visit to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery. Here, you’ll indulge in a guided tasting of 12 unique Australian chocolates, each one more delectable than the last.
