What to expect
You'll be collected from your Melbourne hotel and driven through the gentle valleys to the region's wineries. At Dominique Portet, you'll walk into the working barrel room where wines age, taste directly from production, and sample platters of regional produce. A leisurely two-course lunch at a local restaurant follows, with your drink choice sorted. Your guide offers context on viticulture and the area's food scene as you drive between stops. Expect a relaxed pace—this is about savouring, not rushing.
