What to expect (sample itinerary & subject to variation of order):
Start your morning your way — nice and easy, with a coffee, breakfast, or a stroll — then meet us at midday for a relaxed half-day wine adventure. We’ll gather at the Arts Centre Melbourne Spire (near the Protagonist café) at 11:45am, ready to depart by 12:00pm sharp.
Settle into your comfortable seat and enjoy the cheerful commentary of your friendly tour guide as we make our way to the Yarra Valley. By around 1pm, we’ll arrive at the first winery, where you’ll take in the valley’s stunning scenery and begin tasting some of its signature varietals, like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
We like to keep things fresh and exciting, so the wineries we visit aren’t revealed ahead of time — a little surprise to make the journey even more fun. At the second winery, you’ll continue your tastings, with the option to enjoy a delicious cheese or charcuterie board (subject to availability) to pair with your wines. Finally, we’ll wrap up at a third handpicked winery, chosen to leave you with a lasting impression of the region.
By around 4pm, we’ll head back to Melbourne with full hearts and happy memories, arriving at Federation Square (ACMI) around 5pm. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a carefree afternoon of wine, laughter, and beautiful views.
