Description

Make new friends and spend the day sampling world-class wine, gin, cider, beer and chocolate, your way. Your day begins with a Melbourne CBD pickup at Parliament Station before the 60-minute drive into the valley. From there, tastings are included at four venues - two wineries, a gin distillery, and a private chocolate tasting. You choose from a range of options at each stop, and your guide splits the group if needed so everyone gets exactly what they want. Highlights of the day include wine and cider tasting at a boutique family-run vineyard, a full wine tasting at a stunning 40-acre Italian-style estate, gin paddles at Four Pillars and a private 25-minute chocolate tasting session at Yarra Valley Chocolaterie. Prefer beer? We'll take you to the local craft brewery instead. Prefer more wine? Payten and Jones have you covered.
