Experience Details

Voted #1 tour in all of Melbourne and Australia (Tripadvisor 2026), this is the most social, flexible and laid-back way to spend a day in the Yarra Valley. Make new friends and spend the day sampling world-class wine, gin, cider, beer and chocolate, your way.


Your day begins with a Melbourne CBD pickup at Parliament Station before the 60-minute drive into the valley. From there, tastings are included at four venues - two wineries, a gin distillery, and a private chocolate tasting. You choose from a range of options at each stop, and your guide splits the group if needed so everyone gets exactly what they want.


Highlights of the day include wine and cider tasting at a boutique family-run vineyard, a full wine tasting at a stunning 40-acre Italian-style estate, gin paddles at Four Pillars and a private 25-minute chocolate tasting session at Yarra Valley Chocolaterie. Prefer beer? We'll take you to the local craft brewery instead. Prefer more wine? Payten and Jones have you covered.

What You’ll Experience

The Hotel Windsor (Pass By)

Arrive at the bus stop directly across the road from Hotel Windsor, 74 Spring Street, East Melbourne, by 8:45 AM. Your guide will check you in, introduce the group, and run through the day ahead. We depart by 8:55 AM at the latest. The easiest way to find us: search 'Hotel Windsor' in your maps app and cross the road. Parliament Station is directly below - free tram zone from anywhere in the CBD.

1

Yering Farm Wines

First stop: a small, family-run boutique vineyard with a rustic cellar door. Try 5-6 wines including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Shiraz, plus their famous Pink Lady Apple Cider. Great views and a perfect warm-up for the day.
40 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
2

Tokar Estate

A stunning 40-acre Italian-style winery with some of the best wines in the valley, including an exceptional Tempranillo. Tastings are often held outdoors on the terrace - arguably the best photo spot of the day.
40 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
3

St Huberts Cellar Door

Option 1 - Choose 1 of 2: Your first group choice of the day - St Huberts 'Quarters' or Domaine Chandon. St Huberts: Full bistro menu (approx. A$25–35), an indigenous art gallery, and optional wine and whisky tastings. Domaine Chandon: Lighter lounge menu with world-class sparkling wine and spectacular views. We split the group if the group is divided.
1 hour 20 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
4

Domaine Chandon

Option 2 - Choose 1 of 2: Your first group choice of the day - St Huberts 'Quarters' or Domaine Chandon. Instead of Huberts for lunch, we can take you Chandons 'lounge bar' where you will have 80 minutes to enjoy lunch/drinks at your own expense. Enjoy stunning views and incredible sparkling wines. Note that the food here is a lot smaller and a bit more expensive than the other lunch spot, Huberts Estate. It's a great option if you have dinner plans later. Think: Oysters and cheeseboards. Nothing like steaks or burgers. Domaine Chandon only serves sparkling wines. No beers. No wine. Nothing else. Inform us before the tour if you want lunch here so we can make a booking for you. Note: The menu in their lounge bar is different from their proper restaurant. The restaurant is a 3 hour set menu which we don't have time for. It's possible to stop here for a 5-min photo opp. Most people come here for a glass to enjoy the scenery anyway, so 70 minutes Is plenty of time!

I had a great day with Peter. He kept us well informed of the route and gave clear instructions on what time to meet. Would highly recommend teepee tours if you’re after a wine tour
