Domaine Chandon

Stop: 40 minutes ·Admission includedThe admission fee is included in the tour package at no extra cost.
Domaine Chandon
  • Due to this place not really accepting tour groups, we can't actually generally include drinks here. If we can sense that there are some of the group that reaaalllly want to go to Chandon...what we do is after lunch instead of taking 30m minutes to just relax and enjoy the lunch venue itself, we drive those who want to check out Chandon and essentially leave you there for 30-40 minutes. This is our way around it. So we can do it, but it definitely will be at your own expense and is not included in the price. A little frustrating, but we are literally the only tour that even offers that!
  • We find all people want to do there is just have a glass and enjoy the scenery anyway, so 30-40 minutes Is plenty of time!Read moreMore about Domaine Chandon

Helen's Hill Estate

Stop: 60 minutes ·Admission includedThe admission fee is included in the tour package at no extra cost.
Helen's Hill Estate

St Huberts Cellar Door

Stop: 90 minutes ·Admission includedThe admission fee is included in the tour package at no extra cost.
St Huberts Cellar Door
  • Here we have lunch. The restaurant is called 'Quarters' and is located on St Huberts Estates winery.
  • The entire menu is QR coded or you can order with wait staff.
  • Lunch is not included in the price so this would be at your own expense.
  • The food is incredible here. I would allow anything from 10-40$ here, depending on how hungry you are. There is something for everyone here. Pizzas, burgers, steaks, ribs, vegan dishes, celiac friendly, creative salads,...really nice food!
  • The venue itself is really impressive and they also have a cellar door to do wine tastings and whiskey tasting, as well as an Indigenous art museum all done by First Nations people around Victoria.
  • We often split the group up after lunch for those that want to explore the venue...or those that want to try Chandon.Read moreMore about St Huberts Cellar Door

Here we try 4 of their Gins on a paddle, with tonic or soda to mix with it whilst being told how hey make it in their new impressive distillery. That said, if you don't like gin or want something else, we can get you any type of drink there. You can even cross the road and we can arrange a private wine tasting at Payton and Jones if you really want to keep the day Wine focused.Read moreMore about Four Pillars Distillery

Yarra Valley Dairy
  • This place is a bit of a 'maybe'.
  • We tend to find that we don't regularly go here unless a lot of people want to sacrifice an alcohol place on the day. It is very close to a winery we frequently go to and we can occasionally split the group up. We actually supply cheese platters at the second winery which is the exact same cheese that you could get from this place.
  • Here we supply cheese platters of 3 goats cheeses and 3 cows Cheeses as well as crackers (GF). It's a quick stop..normally only 20 minutes.. It's also a cafe and a place you can buy lesser known wines of the Yarra.
