What to expect
You'll be collected from your Melbourne accommodation and driven to the Yarra Valley. Once there, you'll move between vineyards at a relaxed pace, spending time at each cellar door sampling reds, whites and anything else on offer. Tastings typically involve a pour-and-chat with staff who know their stock well. Expect to be on your feet for brief periods between venues, though most time is spent seated or standing at tasting bars. The drive back to Melbourne wraps up the experience by early evening.
