About this tour
A seven-hour private tour through Victoria's Yarra Valley and Warburton region, designed for groups up to seven people. You'll ride a tractor through working orchards to hand-pick seasonal fruit, explore the cool temperate rainforest with its towering mountain ash trees and fern gullies, and wander Warburton village on the riverbank. Your guide handles logistics while you soak in the landscape—rolling farmland, dense forest, and mountain views dominate the day.

What to expect
After meeting your guide, you'll head to the orchard for a tractor ride followed by picking ripe, in-season fruit directly from trees. The guide will show you what's ready to harvest. Next is a walk through cool temperate rainforest—towering eucalypts, mountain ash, and fern-lined creek beds. The atmosphere shifts from bright orchard to cool, damp forest floor. You'll finish in Warburton village, a small riverside town where you can grab lunch (your own cost) and wander local shops. Much of the day involves driving between sites; use this time to take in the valley landscape and foothills.
Good to know
Wear closed shoes for orchard and forest walking. Fruit-picking entry and kids' rates are separate to your tour cost. Bring a hat and water. Lunch is not included—plan to eat in Warburton. Best in warmer months when fruit is ripening.
