Yarra Valley wineries & cellar doors
Full day · ~9 hours
Designated-driver day in Australia's premium cool-climate wine region. We'll line up four tasting stops and a vineyard lunch (you pre-book the lunch venue, we time the day around it). Free to come back home with bottles in the boot — no surge, no tipsy uber-back.
Why it's famous
Discover Yarra Valley.
The Yarra Valley is Victoria's oldest winegrowing region, less than an hour from Melbourne. Its cool climate and varied microclimates are especially suited to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Yarra Valley Chardonnay is regarded as a leader in Australia's fine Chardonnay production. Sparkling wine, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz are made here too.
Wine history runs deep. Yering Station, established in 1838, was Victoria's first vineyard, and its cellar door is housed in the original winery building from around 1859. Chandon, one of only five Chandon wineries in the world, has made méthode traditionnelle sparkling here since 1986.
A day here is about slowing down: tasting wine where it is grown, a long lunch overlooking the vines, and handmade cheese at a farm dairy. With our driver taking care of the roads, everyone can enjoy the tastings and bring their favourite bottles home safely.
