Highlights
Fancy a day in the Yarra Valley without anyone having to drive? This private wine tour from Melbourne is just for your group, so it feels more like a day out with friends than a tour. Meet us at Federation Square at 9am and head an hour east into Victoria's best known wine region. Start at Yering Station, home to Victoria's first vineyard, for a tasting of cool climate chardonnay and pinot noir. Then it's on to Soumah for a tasting and a two course lunch with a glass of wine. After lunch, call into Helen & Joey Estate, a relaxed cellar door with lovely views over the vines, and finish at Payten & Jones in Healesville, a fun small batch winery. More of a gin or beer crowd? Swap that last stop for Four Pillars gin or Watts River Brewing. Your host driver looks after the timings and the road, and you're back in the city around 5pm. Great for birthdays, couples, families and small groups of 2 to 24. Children aged 4 and up are welcome.

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.
