Yarra Valley Wineries Day Trip

About this tour

Spend eight hours exploring Yarra Valley's wineries with a local guide who's spent decades building relationships across the region. You'll travel in a comfortable private van with up to five other guests, visiting venues that typically reserve their best experiences for insiders. The day shapes itself around your group's interests—whether that's learning winemaking techniques, discovering smaller producers, or sampling specific varietals. Transport, itinerary tweaks, and insider access are all sorted; you pay separately for tastings and any bottles you want to take home.

Highlights

• Local guide with deep roots in Yarra Valley vineyards
• Private van transport for groups up to six people
• Bespoke itinerary tailored to your preferences daily
• VIP access typically reserved for industry connections
• Flexible pace—no rushing between cellar doors

What to expect

Your guide picks you up and drives through rolling vineyard country, stopping at wineries chosen based on what appeals to your group that morning. You're not following a set script; instead, expect conversations with winemakers, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and candid talk about the region's best-kept spots. Some days might focus on cool-climate Pinots, others on experimental producers or heritage estates. Tastings happen at each stop, though you cover those costs. The van gives everyone space to relax between venues, chat about what you've tried, and recharge before the next cellar door.

Good to know

Bring cash or card for tastings and purchases—fees vary by venue. Wear comfortable shoes for walking through wineries. Public transport exists if you prefer not to use the private van, though it'll mean less flexibility. Suitable for all fitness levels; minimal walking required.
