About this experience
Look no further mon ami! Experience the picturesque Yarra Valley with our eccentric guides on an all-inclusive carefree day trip (exclusively for adults only!) featuring 4 carefully selected wineries to enjoy wine appreciation, savour a seasonal 2-course lunch (shared antipasto followed by individual mains) with a glass of wine at a beautiful winery and a sweet finale at a chocolate factory. To further personalize your tour, you can switch the fourth winery to enjoy tastings at Four Pillars Gin distillery (7-days) or Watts River brewery (Thurs - Mon) by selecting these option. A little more detail: With us, you'll be transported in a modern & clean minibus to visit four premium hand-picked wineries for wine tastings from a mix of acclaimed and boutique producers such as Yering Station, Soumah, Helen & Joey Estate, Payten & Jones and much more. Our winery selection will give you a greater appreciation of the local wine history, premier varietals and wonderful sceneries that makes Yarra Valley one of the best cool-climate region's in Australia. For lunch, we spared no expense and created an experience for you to sit together with your fellow travellers to enjoy a seasonal two-course lunch (usually shared antipasto followed by individual mains) with a glass of wine at the mesmerizing Soumah winery - we’re really proud to be the only daily tour operator that offers this amazing lunch option so you can savour the food as well as mingle with great company. We conclude the day at the renowned Yarra Valley Chocolate & Ice-Cream Factory, where you can self-indulge in sweet treats and buy gifts for friends and family. Now to spice things up and for a small additional fee per person, on most days you can switch the fourth winery stop to either the Four Pillars Gin Distillery [option available 7-days a week] or Watts River Brewery [option available Thursday to Monday only]. If you choose Four Pillars Distillery, we will organize a generous tasting flight for you comprising of 4 unique gins with a mixer of your choice like tonic. If you choose Watts River Brewery, we will organize a tasting of 4 core craft beers for you. This comprehensive day trip covers all expenses, including wine tastings, gourmet 2-course lunch and transportation from Melbourne. Relax, savour the moments, and let us take care of everything. IMPORTANT NOTES: > At the 4th winery [an urban winery called Payten & Jones known for eclectic wines & great vibes] you can opt for a glass or wine/beer instead of wine tastings by letting us know then. > You have the option to switch the 4th winery to Four Pillars Distillery to enjoy an included Gin Tasting Flight for a small additional fee per person [select the CLASSIC WINE & GIN TOUR option] > Alternatively, you can switch the 4th winery to Watts River Brewery instead [only available on Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon] to enjoy an included Beer Tasting Flight for a small additional fee per person [select the CLASSIC WINE & BEER TOUR option]
