An Epicurean Journey through Yarra Valle

Embark on a memorable journey as you're whisked away from Melbourne's Arts Centre to the verdant Yarra Valley. As you delve into the picturesque landscape, your friendly guide regales tales of the region and its viticultural heritage. The adventure begins with exclusive wine-tasting sessions at 3 premium wineries, each distinctive in their blend of tradition and innovation. Here, you get to sample renowned cool-climate wines, including the famous Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, crafted from some of Australia's oldest vineyards dating back to the 1800s.

Gourmet Indulgence and Artisanal Tastings

Post the wine-tasting spree, tease your palate with a gourmet antipasti board, followed by a choice of seasonal main, all paired with a glass of estate wine amidst the stunning winery panorama. Depending on the day, indulge in a pint of artisanal beer or cider at either Coldstream Brewery or Watts River Brewery (Wednesday to Sunday), or savor a gin paddle at the internationally recognized Four Pillars Gin Distillery (Monday and Tuesday). The final cherry on this epicurean journey is a visit to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery Factory. A delightful fact is that this chocolatier uses native Australian ingredients, making the sweet treats quite unique. Surrender to the sweet symphony of delectable chocolates and ice creams, a perfect close to a day filled with gastronomic delights and scenic wonders.
