Yarra Valley Wine and Wildlife – Private Day Tour

The journey, in full

Be met at your hotel by your expert Localising guide for a 10 am start. The short drive to the Yarra Valley is a great chance to share some of your tastes and interests so these can be made a feature of your uniquely tailored experience. Sit back and get to know your host in a luxury touring vehicle equipped with wi-fi, water, and a selection of Victorian treats. Take the backroads for a scenic journey through quiet leafy suburbs and rolling hills. You might like to go behind the scenes at Victoria’s premier Wildlife Park, Healesville Sanctuary. Choose the option to have a ranger personally take you to meet, feed and pet our favorite cuddly creatures, or enjoy the park at your own pace. Head behind a few cellar doors to chat with winemakers and sample some of the region’s best local wines, including plenty of wonderful pinots and chardonnay. The region is renowned for farm-to-plate experiences at restaurants and cellar doors. Enjoy a casual lunch or something more elegant among rolling hills and sprawling vineyards. Finish the day with a visit to a state-of-the-art gin distillery, that produces some of the world’s best gins using quintessentially Australian botanicals. The local dairy produces some stunning cow and sheep cheese, which makes a lovely alternative for non-gin drinkers who choose to spend the time enjoying a leisurely walk around a stunning local reservoir. Your Local host will have you back in Melbourne by 6 pm.
