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, including cheese, chocolate and more!
We start the day with an exclusive farm gate visit at Yarra Farm Fresh, for a palate-cleansing fruit experience. At this boutique third-generation orchard we’ll sample a range of seasonal fruits and other local produce. We will also learn a little about the wide range of farm-fresh apples grown on the property.
Next we travel to one of the valley’s true icons, Balgownie wines 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.
The amazing produce at Coldstream Dairy will truly melt in your mouth. The cheeses here are truly stunning and will have your tastebuds working overtime!
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. 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.
After lunch we make our way to one of Australia’s great wineries and member of the Australian Tourism Hall of Fame, Yering Station. Home of Victoria’s oldest vineyards, first planted in 1838, the wines here are of exceptional quality and a tasting here is not to be missed.
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.

Brisbane Brewery Tour
Food & Drink
Are you looking to taste some award-winning beers but don’t want to venture too far out of the city? The Best of Brisbane is for you!
After your pick up, we will begin our day by visiting Newstead Brewing Co where you have the chance to sample their core range of beers – plus maybe a few seasonal brews if you’re lucky – and get treated to a behind-the-scenes guided tour of a working brewery, where an incredible staff member will talk you through the brewing process and methods involved in getting your beer from ingredients to finished product.
Around the corner we stop into Green Beacon Brewing Co for some generous samples of their award-winning beer. While we recommend a few for you based on what tried previously, there’s flexibility to try their seasonal releases and even cider if it’s on tap.
Learning about the brewing process can be hungry work, so at our third stop you not only get a delicious lunch to soak up your previous samples, but a schooner of their brewed-on-site beer or another tasting paddle. We share the love with our lunch venues and may be chowing down at Aether Brewing, Soapbox Beer or *ea Legs Brewing.
After a leisurely visit, we end our day with a stop at one of the various other breweries around town. Each brewery offers a core range to taste, as well as constantly creating some new and exciting flavours that we may find on tap.
Once back in the city, we will drop you off at your pick up location or a venue that suits you – within reason, of course!
Don’t forget to bring a photo ID with you. Closed-toe shoes recommended. Strictly no drinking on the vehicle. Itinerary subject to change based on opening hours, events, traffic, etc.
