Itinerary
Enjoy a guided tasting of exceptional sparkling wines at Domaine Chandon, one of the Yarra Valley’s most iconic producers. Hosted by knowledgeable wine specialists, this immersive experience introduces guests to the méthode traditionnelle, with insights into the craftsmanship behind each pour. Set against rolling vineyard views, the tasting showcases a selection of Chandon’s finest cuvées, highlighting the region’s cool-climate elegance and refined style.
Lunch is a true highlight of the day, enjoyed at Soumah’s restaurant, AI FIORI Trattoria where Northern Italian cuisine takes centre stage. Begin with a generous antipasti board, designed to share and showcase fresh, seasonal flavours, followed by your choice of main course. Your meal is perfectly paired with a glass of wine—personally selected as the standout from your earlier tasting—bringing the experience full circle.

Enjoy a tasting paddle at Four Pillars Gin, one of Australia’s most celebrated craft distilleries. Set in a vibrant and contemporary space, this experience invites guests to sample a selection of their award-winning gins, each showcasing bold botanicals and a distinctly modern Australian twist. Guided by knowledgeable hosts, you’ll explore the unique flavour profiles—from bright citrus notes to warm spice—while learning about the distillation process and the story behind the brand. Relaxed, fun, and full of character, it’s the perfect way to round out a day of food and wine in the Yarra Valley.
On the way back to your hotel, we drive into Heritage Golf and Country Club — two Jack Nicklaus-designed 18-hole courses, a residential estate, and home to the Yarra Valley Lodge Hotel. But the real reason we slow down here is the locals: a large mob of wild kangaroos that lives right on the course. We take our time, cameras ready, for what's often the most photographed moment of the day.

About Melbourne
Melbourne is the capital of Victoria on the Yarra River, known for laneway cafés, street art, grand Victorian buildings and a calendar full of sport.
Melbourne grew rich on the gold rush of the 1850s, and the grand buildings from that time still stand in the grid of the city centre, among them Flinders Street Station with its yellow facade and the domed Royal Exhibition Building. Federation Square and the National Gallery of Victoria stand close to the Yarra, and trams rattle along the main streets. Narrow lanes such as Hosier Lane are covered in ever-changing street art.
Top-ranked sights in Melbourne: Loch Ard Gorge, Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road.
