Description
Start your morning your way — with coffee, breakfast, or a stroll — then join us at midday for a relaxed half-day wine adventure. Meet at the Arts Centre Melbourne Spire (near Protagonist Café) at 11:45am for a 12:00pm departure.
Sit back, get comfortable, and enjoy your guide’s cheerful commentary as we journey to the Yarra Valley. Around 1pm, we’ll arrive at the first winery to soak up the scenery and taste the region’s signature varietals like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
To keep things fresh, our winery lineup changes, adding a fun element of surprise. At the second stop, enjoy more tastings with the option to pair them with a cheese or charcuterie board (subject to availability). Finally, we’ll visit a third handpicked winery designed to leave a lasting impression.
We’ll return to Melbourne by 5pm, dropping you at Federation Square (ACMI). It’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon of wine, laughter, and unforgettable views.
Below is a sample itinerary (however we like to keep things exciting and will be rotating through a list of amazing wineries to explore):

For everyone’s comfort, we kindly ask that no food or hot drinks (like coffee) are consumed on the bus.
This tour runs with a maximum of 20 guests, keeping the experience personal and relaxed.
Summer in Australia means sunshine — and yes, a few friendly flies! If that’s not your thing, this may not be the right tour for you.
Please note that it can get hot in summer, and wine tastings can add to that, so make sure you’re comfortable with the conditions.
To avoid any surprises, we encourage you to check the schedule and inclusions before booking. If you have any questions, we’re always happy to help!
