From Melbourne: Yarra Valley Chandon Cheese & Kangaroos Tour

Embark on an unforgettable afternoon of indulgence and wildlife adventure in the stunning Yarra Valley, Victoria’s premier wine region. This exclusive small-group tour (maximum 12 guests) allows you to enjoy the best of wine, cheese, chocolate, and nature, all in one amazing day.

Start your day with a leisurely morning and breakfast at your hotel before meeting us at Federation Square in Melbourne. From there, we’ll take you on a journey through the Yarra Valley’s picturesque vineyards, charming dairies, and delicious chocolateries.

Your first stop is the Coldstream Dairy, where you’ll savor a curated platter of locally crafted artisanal cheeses. From creamy bries to sharp, flavorful hard cheeses, each bite reflects the lush pastures and rich terroir of the Yarra Valley. Enjoy the rustic farm atmosphere and indulge in world-class local produce, making it the perfect savory interlude to your touring day.

Next, we head to the renowned Chandon Australia, where you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy their world-class sparkling wines while soaking in panoramic views. Treat yourself to oysters or a cheese platter from the lounge menu (at your own expense), and celebrate the sparkling moments with a glass in hand.

It’s time for more wine tasting at Yering Station, Victoria’s first vineyard. Sip on a selection of their cool-climate wines, including the signature Shiraz Viognier, as you explore the winery’s historic charm and stunning surroundings. Chocoholics will be in heaven at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery, where you can experience pure cocoa bliss. Enjoy a private chocolate tasting, learn about the art of couverture chocolate, and shop for sweet treats to take home.

As dusk falls, we’ll embark on our Kangaroo spotting! Venture through the bushland as the wild kangaroos come out to play at sunset. We guarantee kangaroo sightings, or your money back! Take photos and marvel at these iconic Aussie creatures in their natural habitat.

After a day of wine, cheese, chocolate, and wildlife, we’ll make our way back to Melbourne, with the Yarra Valley's rolling hills fading into the rearview mirror. Sit back, relax, and reminisce about your unforgettable adventure, arriving back at Federation Square around 7pm.

This small-group tour offers a taste of the best the Yarra Valley has to offer, from its world-class wineries to its delicious local produce and scenic wildlife experiences. Join us for the perfect afternoon out of the city, where every moment is filled with flavor and fun!
