Description

The first stop on the trip is the Puffing Billy Steam Train. The Puffing Billy is Australia's oldest steam railway. The architecture of the station follows the style of a small British rural station, passes through the primitive forest park, and shuttles through the verdant Dandenong Ranges, with lush fern gullies brushing past and Mountain Ash trees towering overhead, giving visitors a sense of tranquillity and beauty. Continue to the Yarra Valley Orchard where you can immerse yourself in a fragrant cherry world. Established over 80 years ago, the orchard is still 100% Australian-owned. The owner has been dedicating to cultivating Australia’s finest cherries with diligence and passion. Don't hesitate to enjoy the taste of the fresh and juicy cherries while you pick them straight from the tree. In addition, you will have the chance to taste the cherry beverage and ice cream, take in the stunning views of the surrounding rolling hills and enjoy a live acoustic musician. How fantastic it is to hang out with family or friends in such a scenic place. The last stop will be Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery. Enjoy abundant free chocolate tastings. Watch the European Chocolatiers handcraft over 400 different chocolate products. Relax in the all-day Café serving breakfast and lunch and specialising in decadent sweet treats. When tastings are done, let the children run and play in expansive lawns, gardens, orchards and wetlands. We'll end the tour in Melbourne city around 19:00. (The tour departure and end time are subject to the Puffing Billy Railway schedule.) (The itinerary sequence and duration may be adjusted due to the weather, traffic and other objective factors on the day.)
