Meeting/Redemption Point
- Federation Square, Flinders St &, Russell St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia | THIS MAP MAY TAKE YOU TO RUSSELL STREET EXT. BUT WE ARE ON FLINDERS STREET :) Meet your guide and vehicle at "The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia" FLINDERS STREET at 8.35am as we leave promptly at 9am! This is directly opposite 154 Flinders Street. All trams are FREE in the CBD! Some days we leave earlier than 9am if everyone has arrived and ready to go and we get to take a more scenic drive. We cannot wait for anyone as it is a public group tour! We will leave at 9.01am with or without everyone. Unfortunately we do regularly leave without people because they have not given themselves enough time to get into the busy CBD. Please aim to be early as taxis and public transport can be very unreliable! If you arrive late, we will have left and you will have missed the tour. You are welcome to make your way to the first winery to meet the group.

What you can expect
We operate 7 days a week without fail! And it is a great thing to do if you are in Melbourne and it is raining all day!
Join a full-day wine tour in the Yarra Valley and discover some of the best wineries in Victoria, just an hour's drive from Melbourne. Stop at five venues to sample wine, beer, food and chocolate.
8.40am - After pickup from “The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia”, FLINDERS STREET (This is directly opposite 154 Flinders Street) we depart promptly at 9am for Yarra Valley.
9.30am - A two minute detour through the beautiful Warrandyte on the way to The Yarra Valley.
10.15am - Make your first stop at Soumah of Yarra Valley for a wine tasting of red and white wines. Learn how the cool climate allows this winery to specialize in styles and varieties typical to northern Italy and southeastern France, such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
11.30am - St Huberts Cellar Door at Hubert Estate where you will sample four of their well-known wines. Don't feel like wine? Let us treat you to a beer instead?
12.30pm - Quarters Restaurant at Hubert Estate, where we all sit on one or two tables together, where we all order and pay for our own lunch and drinks. (If you don't want to join for lunch, you can walk over to the cellar door and buy yourself a drink whilst enjoying the artwork they have on display in the indigenous art gallery on the floor below).
OR
11.30am - Lunch at Domaine Chandon. If you want to separate from the group and have a slightly more fine dining lunch experience, then you can make your own lunch booking at Chandon. It is very important to contact us to ask us what time to make your Chandon reservation for, as we often run two tour vehicles on the same day. You will have to notify us of this the day before your wine tour please!
(Lunch at Chandon will mean you miss the 11.30am wine tasting at St Huberts with the rest of the group).
2pm -Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery for a guided tasting of 10 different mouth-watering chocolates to sample. After the informative talk, feel free to buy yourself a generously portioned gelato to quickly enjoy before getting on bus to head to the last winery of the day.
OR
2pm - Yarrawood Estate. If The Chocolaterie isn't your thing, then let your driver know at lunch and they will happily take you to Yarrawood Estate Winery where you can buy yourself a glass of wine. Or we can also take you to Balgownie Estate early where you can buy yourself a drink before we arrive with the rest of the group and pay for your wine tasting.
2.45pm - We arrive at our last stop of the day, Balgownie Estate, for wine tastings with a view!
3.30pm - Depart from Yarra Valley to be back to Federation Square at between 4.55pm-5.20pm.
We have chilled coolers and waters onboard. We share the music, so you can pitch in with the Spotify playlist if you love your music whilst driving.
