Enjoy a fun and relaxed day of exploring our favourite venues in the Yarra Valley on this full day tour. We’ll pick you and other guests up from your accommodation in the Yarra Valley or at Lilydale Train Station (if coming from Melbourne) so you don’t have to drive! **Itinerary may change depending on availability during restrictions** First stop is Yering Station, Victoria's historic first winery. We'll start the day with a tasting of the elegant cool climate wines including their classic sparkling wine (don’t call it Champagne!). Next stop is Yering Farm winery set in a rustic cellar door in an old hay shed where we will sample a variety of wines including some big reds and apple cider! Over lunchtime we will visit Healesville township with ample time to explore the picture perfect village with it’s wine bars, distilleries and burger joints and a variety of lunch options to suit all budgets. *lunch is not included in the tour price. After lunch we’ll scoot back into the rolling hills and visit Rochford winery with it’s wide variety of quality wines which we will sample followed by time to visit the gift shop. Our last stop is the Napoleone Cider Bar surrounded by an apple orchard where each couple will receive a cider tasting paddle and a decadent cider cocktail (or beer)! Relax, enjoy the view! You’ll then be dropped back to your pickup point between 4.30- 5.30pm

We'll pick you up in the morning and mainly focus on everyone getting to know each other. We get everyone to add to a Spotify playlist so we have some tunes and spend the first hour just chatting! On my trip we will go to 4 places, each consisting of 6-7 tastings. I have a bunch of wineries that I know you'll love and will go to them if no-one is too picky, however I make sure I listen to the group. My trip is a little democracy. Everything we do on my trip is discussed by the group in the morning. I will give you options to choose from including 50-70 different wineries, cheese factories and chocolate factories, Cider houses, restaurants and breweries. We WILL go to 4 of these places, however if we choose the Gin distillery, brewhouse or a restaurant there may be added expenses (no more than 5$ each) However if you just want to come along and put your trust in me, we will visit 4 four unique wineries, all with a point of difference, with a 45 minute stop at a very scenic one for some snacks that I encourage you to bring along. I also play guitar and like to enjoy snacks, wine and music as a group. We'll also go for a search for Kangaroos in a secret spot! Will be back by 5pm:) Other things to note Bring your own food as the region does not have readily available cafe's restaurant. We can always stop somewhere but it might be a little later in the day and you might get hungry!

Want to experience something different?….really different. Learn about the intriguing world of honey bees in a way that few get to experience: through the hands­-on exploration of an active, living beehive! Your tour, led by Nathan Stewart, a professional Doreen based beekeeper, will include suiting up in protective gear, lighting a bee smoker, and spending two hours as real-life Beekeeper. Initially, Nathan will give you some tips on what to look for inside a hive including how to spot the Queen and where to look to potentially witness the birth of a new worker bee. Then, together we’ll lift the lid of a busy hive, watch bees at work creating honey, pull out a frame of honey ready for extraction, and get up close with more than 100,000 bees! After we carefully close the lid, we’ll sample some of the honey direct from the hives while enjoying a refreshing honey tonic compliments of Karen, Managing Director of Rivers of Yarrambat (who is also a passionate beekeeper herself). Other things to note: -Wear casual comfortable clothing with Long Pants, Socks and protective shoes/boots. Avoid wearing dark colour clothing, perfume or aftershave. -Photos of your experience will be sent afterwards. -Weather: On rare occasions, our Tours may need to be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled due to severe weather. If needed, we will contact you the day before to make arrangements.
