• Yarra Valley - After departing, the journey will take approximately 60 minutes to reach the first venue. The scenery becomes picturesque after about 45 minutes. During the drive, guests are encouraged to contribute to the day’s playlist via Spotify, allowing everyone to add songs from their own devices. Time will be spent getting acquainted and explaining the day’s itinerary, with an opportunity for guests to express any specific interests for the day.

The itinerary is designed to offer choices throughout the day. Here’s how it unfolds:

• Yering Farm Wines - Sample 5-6 wines and a delightful Pink Lady Apple Cider at this small, boutique, family-run vineyard.
• Tokar Estate - Enjoy a tasting of 5 exceptional wines. The winery offers stunning views and a relaxed atmosphere with a diverse range of flavors, from medium-bodied reds to pinot grigio, sweet dessert wines to sparkling, unfiltered pinot noirs, Chardonnay, heavy Shiraz, and fortified wines.
• St Huberts Cellar Door - Lunch is served at ‘Quarters,’ located on St Huberts Estates winery. The menu is accessible via QR code or through wait staff. Lunch is not included in the tour price and is at the guest’s expense. The food is outstanding, with prices ranging from $10 to $40, depending on appetite. Options include pizzas, burgers, steaks, ribs, vegan dishes, celiac-friendly meals, and creative salads.

The venue is impressive, featuring a cellar door for wine and whiskey tastings, as well as an Indigenous art museum showcasing works by First Nations artists from Victoria.

After lunch, the group may split for those wishing to explore the venue or visit Chandon.

• Domaine Chandon - For those preferring lunch here instead of Huberts Estate, the ‘lounge bar’ offers an 80-minute lunch/drink experience at the guest’s expense. This option is explained on the day, and bookings are made by the operator. Guests simply need to express their preference on the day. Note that the food here is smaller and slightly more expensive than at Huberts Estate.

Most guests enjoy a glass while taking in the scenery, making 80 minutes ample time.

• Four Pillars Distillery - Guests can sample 4 gins on a paddle, with tonic or soda, while learning about the distillery’s production process. For those not fond of gin, alternative drinks are available. A private wine tasting at Payton and Jones or a visit to a nearby brewery can be arranged for those wishing to focus on wine.
• Watts River Brewing - Instead of Four Pillars gin, guests can visit this local brewery to try 4 beers on a beer paddle, included in the price. This small, local craft brewery is a favorite among locals, offering a casual, ‘dad’s garage’ vibe. Note: Closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
• Payten & Jones Wines - For a wine-focused day, guests can opt for a wine tasting here instead of Four Pillars gin, featuring arguably the best wine of the day.
• Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery - At this scenic location, guests enjoy a private tasting of 10-12 chocolates over 25 minutes, with time to purchase chocolates and explore the ice cream section.
• Yarrawood Estate - For those uninterested in chocolate tasting, a visit to this nearby winery offers a scenic end to the day with drinks at the guest’s expense. Known for arguably the best wine of the day, many suggest it should be included in the tour. Wine and beer are available here.
