This is an afternoon in the Yarra Valley built around what people actually remember: a glass of sparkling wine at Chandon, real conversation with a local guide, and a kangaroo safari at sunset that Yarra Valley Touring Co is confident enough to guarantee.
You'll travel in a small group, with a maximum of 12 guests, and that's what gets you through Chandon's door. It's one of the valley's most exclusive wineries and it caps how many people it takes per tour, so most big-bus operators can't get a booking there at all. We can, because our groups are kept small enough to fit.
Your afternoon starts at 11.30am from Federation Square in central Melbourne, leaving your whole morning free to explore the city first. From there, you're driven into the Yarra Valley for a relaxed run of tastings: fresh strawberries at a local strawberry farm, a cheese tasting at Coldstream Dairy, a complimentary glass of sparkling wine at Chandon with time to purchase lunch or extra tastings if you'd like them, a wine tasting at Yering Station, Victoria's first vineyard, and a private chocolate tasting at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery.
As the light starts to fade, you'll head into quiet bushland for the tour's signature experience: a kangaroo safari at sunset, timed for when the kangaroos are most active. Yarra Valley Touring Co guarantees you'll see wild kangaroos, or your money back.
Children aged 2 and up are welcome, and younger guests are looked after with their own hot chocolate or coffee and a chance to meet the sheep at the cheese stop. You're back in Melbourne by early evening, in time for dinner.
- Access to Chandon that big-bus tours can't get, thanks to our small group size.
- Complimentary Chandon sparkling wine, cheese, strawberry and chocolate tastings.
- Guided throughout by a local Yarra Valley based guide-driver.
- Small-group only, a maximum of 12 travellers, for a more personal day.
