Fresh Farm Produce, Amazing Wine, and Some Great Cheese To Go With That

Yarra Valley is mostly known for its wineries, but that’s just one of its highlights. This day tour lets you halt at some of the valley’s most impressive wineries, in addition to getting a taste of the region’s other local produce.

The day tour begins with an exclusive farm gate visit at Gateway Market for an incomparable fruit sampling experience. Expect nothing but the freshest produce from the valley in their stores. Learn what’s in for the season, aside from biting into plenty of locally grown fruits and other gourmet products. This is your chance to get your hands on some quality products that the valley offers, all under a single roof.

The tour then takes you to one of the area’s major highlights, Balgownie Estate Wines where you can sample and relish their wide range of premium wines. You’ll head to Coldstream Dairy next, where the cheese is simply melt-in-the-mouth good and your tastebuds will certainly be put to work overtime!

Lunch, Wine-Tasting, Chocolaterie Visit, and More To Follow On Your Yarra Valley Tour

Your lunch will be served at the phenomenal Rochford Winery where you can choose from four different meal options, along with a glass of wine and tea/coffee. Take some time to check out the gift shop or ascend the spiral staircase to capture the picturesque views from the famous Rochford lookout tower.

Before making your way back to Melbourne, you’ll make a stop at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie where you can indulge in exclusive chocolate tasting, watch stunning displays of thousands of gourmet chocolates and European chocolatiers working their magic.

Return to your original location with a horde of memories and the happy realization that you have enjoyed the absolute best wine and food that Yarra Valley can possibly offer.
