Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, gin and chocolate Tour

St Pauls Cathedral, 198-206 Flinders St, 3000 You will be greeted by one of our tour guides with our 14-seater, white, Mercedes-Benz bus at 8.50am, where we will check you in and pick your seat. The bus leaves promptly at 9am.

Just a 60 minute drive to get you to your first winery. (30 minutes on the freeway and 30 minutes through the countryside and vineyards, passing through the lovely town of Warrandyte).

We visit Soumah every day. You will enjoy a guided tasting of five different wines, varying from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo and Brachetto. You will be sure to find something pleasing while overlooking the rolling hills of the vineyard and the majestic Warramate Hills.

We visit Four Pillars every day. Here you will enjoy four of their world-famous samples of gin on a paddle with your choice of mixer to wash them down with. If you don't fancy a gin paddle, you can grab a wine or a beer. (Or we can walk you over to Payten and Jones for a wine tasting).

If you're not a fan of gin, then you can leave the group at Four Pillars and enjoy a wine tasting here instead.

We visit 'Quarters' restaurant at St Huberts every day for lunch and a look around their indigenous art gallery on the floor below their cellar door. If you brought food, you can eat it on the bus or we will sit in the restaurant and enjoy lunch together. Food and drink are not included in the tour price here, as to give you more freedom to enjoy a beer, wine, lunch or even another wine tasting at their cellar door. They offer a wide variety of fantastic food here and cater for all dietary requirements. "With a menu full of Modern Australian and European inspired dishes, Quarters is perfect for foodies, families, and everyone in between. Think succulent steaks, vibrant local veg, and delicate, flaky fish. Feeling extra hungry? Try some pasta, handmade on site, and our incredible (yes, incredible) woodfired pizza, unlike any others in the region. Lucky everyone has a second stomach for dessert, because our dedicated team of pastry chefs will tempt anyone with a sweet tooth."

- If you are quick with lunch, we will happily run you to Domaine Chandon for a photo opportunity of the beautiful view. It depends on their busyness as to whether they can offer you a table or not.

We visit Helen & Joey every day. You will enjoy a guided tasting of five different wines whilst enjoying the panoramic views! Helen & Joey is famous for the view, and one of the most photographed unicorns in the world. You will sample anything from their collection of Chardonnays, Shirazes, Pinots, Sparkling, Fortified and Dessert wines. They even make their own wine in a can, which is great to travel with and for picnics.

If anyone from the group wants to stop in here for 5 or 10 minutes to grab some take-away cheese, then that will not be a problem at all.

We visit the Chocolaterie every day. The Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery is a popular attraction in the Yarra Valley, known for their wide variety of handmade chocolates and delicious ice cream. Visitors can watch the chocolatiers at work, sample their products, and purchase gifts to take home.
