Our wine tour is a social, down to earth and laid back trip that offers great wines, gin,cider and more. And we have a laugh doing it!
We'll pick you up in the morning and focus on everyone getting to know each other. We get everyone to add to a Spotify playlist so we have some tunes and spend the first hour just chatting!
Everything is always flexible with our tour, and we always aims to give people choices, but since we are on a bit of a time constraint, we have constructed this itinerary to showcase the best of the best of the Yarra Valley, but also showing a few hidden gems.

Itinerary
1
Yarra Valley
The following are a list of wineries and venues we could go to. We do not go to all of these. The tour includes tastings at 4 of these venues , with a 5th being a lunch stop that doesn’t include a tasting. The itinerary can change each day based on what’s open/availabe.
We will drive for 55 minutes to our first venue. After about 45 minutes its starts getting scenic!
1 hour
2
Yering Farm Wines
Try 5-6 wines and an incredible Pink Lady Apple Cider at this very small, boutique and family run vineyard.
50 minutes
3
Tokar Estate
We also provide cheese platters here to compliment your tasting.
Incredible views. Laid back type of winery with an incredible range of tastes.
From Medium bodied reds, to pinot grigio, from sweet desert wines to sparkling, from unfiltered pinot noirs, to Chardonnay to heavy Shiraz and fortified wines.
We also provide cheese platters here to compliment your tasting.
1 hour

Domaine Chandon
Due to this place not really accepting tour groups, we can't actually generally include drinks here. If we can sense that there are some of the group that reaaalllly want to go to Chandon...what we do is after lunch instead of taking 30m minutes to just relax and enjoy the lunch venue itself, we drive those who want to check out Chandon and essentially leave you there for 30-40 minutes. This is our way around it. So we can do it, but it definitely will be at your own expense and is not included in the price. A little frustrating, but we are literally the only tour that even offers that!
We find all people want to do there is just have a glass and enjoy the scenery anyway, so 30-40 minutes Is plenty of time!
40 minutes
5
St Huberts Cellar Door
Here we have lunch. The restaurant is called 'Quarters' and is located on St Huberts Estates winery.
The entire menu is QR coded or you can order with wait staff.
Lunch is not included in the price so this would be at your own expense.
The food is incredible here. I would allow anything from 10-40$ here, depending on how hungry you are. There is something for everyone here. Pizzas, burgers, steaks, ribs, vegan dishes, celiac friendly, creative salads,...really nice food!
The venue itself is really impressive and they also have a cellar door to do wine tastings and whiskey tasting, as well as an Indigenous art museum all done by First Nations people around Victoria.
We often split the group up after lunch for those that want to explore the venue...or those that want to try Chandon.
1 hour and 30 minutes
6
Four Pillars Distillery
Here we try 4 of their Gins on a paddle, with tonic or soda to mix with it whilst being told how hey make it in their new impressive distillery. That said, if you don't like gin or want something else, we can get you any type of drink there. You can even cross the road and we can arrange a private wine tasting at Payton and Jones if you really want to keep the day Wine focused.
