What to expect
Your guide collects you from your Melbourne hotel in the morning and drives you out to the Yarra Valley. You'll visit several wineries—how many depends on what you want to do. Some travellers prefer a leisurely pace, stopping at fewer properties and staying longer at each; others want to cover ground and taste widely. Your guide steers based on your mood. Around midday you'll sit down to lunch at a quality estate winery, with one glass included. The afternoon continues with more tastings before you're driven back to the city by early evening. It's a sociable day, but you're in control of the rhythm.
