Your Itinerary
Yering Farm Wines
Try 5-6 wines and an incredible Pink Lady Apple Cider at this very small, boutique and family run vineyard.
Helen & Joey Estate-Yarra Valley
Incredible views. Laid back type of winery with an incredible range of tastes. From sweet desert wines to sparkling, to unfiltered pinot noirs, to Chardonnay to heavy Shiraz and fortified wines. They even have 'wine in a can'....a new thing they've been trying out! Don't knock it until you tried it! It's pretty good!
Helen's Hill Estate
We don't always go here, but if we do their wines are really good! Arguably the best Shiraz/Syrah in the area.
Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery
Here at this very scenic spot, you will have a private tasting of 10-12 chocolates over 25 minutes. You'll then have time to buy any chocolate you like as well as take advantage of the ice cream section of the factory.
Admission Included
Yarra Valley Dairy
Here we supply cheese platters of 3 goats cheeses and 3 cows Cheeses as well as crackers (GF). It's a quick stop..normally only 20 minutes.. It's also a cafe and a place you can buy lesser known wines of the Yarra. We tend to find that we dont regularly go here unless a lot of people want to go on the day. It is very close to a winery we frequently go to and we can occasionally split the group up.
Four Pillars Distillery
Here we try 4 of their Gins on a paddle, with tonic or soda to mix with it whilst being told how hey make it in their new impressive distillery. That said, if you don't like gin or want something else, we can get you any type of drink there. You can even cross the road and we can arrange a private wine tasting at Payton and Jones if you really want to keep the day Wine focused.
St Huberts Cellar Door
Here we have lunch. The restaurant is called 'Quarters' and is located on St Huberts Estates winery. The entire menu is QR coded or you can order with wait staff. Lunch is not included in the price so this would be at your own expense. The food is incredible here. I would allow anything from 10-40$ here, depending on how hungry you are. There is something for everyone here. Pizzas, burgers, steaks, ribs, vegan dishes, celiac friendly, creative salads,...really nice food! The venue itself is really impressive and they also have a cellar door to do wine tastings and whiskey tasting, as well as an Indigenous art museum all done by First Nations people around Victoria. We often split the group up after lunch for those that want to explore the venue...or those that want to try Chandon.
Domaine Chandon
Due to this place not really accepting tour groups, we can't actually generally include drinks here. If we can sense that there are some of the group that reaaalllly want to go to Chandon...what we do is after lunch instead of taking 30m minutes to just relax and enjoy the lunch venue itself, we drive those who want to check out Chandon and essentially leave you there for 30-40 minutes. This is our way around it. So we can do it, but it definitely will be at your own expense and is not included in the price. A little frustrating, but we are literally the only tour that even offers that! We find all people want to do there is just have a glass and enjoy the scenery anyway, so 30-40 minutes Is plenty of time!
