Please join us for a great day of travel and food as we sample our way around the breathtakingly beautiful Yarra Valley.

While wine has historically been a big part of the Yarra Valley, these days you can also enjoy fresh local produce, chocolate, craft beer, and learning about the Australian winemaking process. As we sip award-winning vino and brews while chatting with the person who made them, we are surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and vineyard views.

Our day begins with an alluring feast at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice-Creamery. With over 250 handcrafted chocolates for sale and a plethora of free chocolate samples. We get to visit several boutique wineries and cellar-door estates, including Helen & Joey Estate, Helen’s Hill, and Whispering Hills. We haven’t forgotten about those who have worked up a thirst for a big, cold beer, with a stop at Watts River Brewing.

We’ve included extra time in Healesville so that visitors can get lunch and wander about the Yarra Valley gateway town. This is related to the fact that we provide our visitors the chance to explore the area with the help of locals and experience the Yarra Valley firsthand rather than just being shuttled between vineyards. While at Healesville, we heartily recommend perusing the neighbourhood stores, cafes, and eateries. If your taste buds beckon, you may even stop by Alchemy Distillery for a taster (own expense).

This one-of-a-kind wine tour takes you away from the crowds of tourists and into a comfortable small group setting as you discover all the gems of the Yarra Valley region. showcasing some of our favourite small wineries and craft brewers who are enthusiastic about producing high-quality beer for consumption by all. allowing our visitors the chance to interact with the manufacturer along the route and fully experience what this renowned region has to offer. 140 km. driving distance.
