Trip Overview
Experience the Yarra Valley the Local Way on a relaxed afternoon wine tour from Melbourne, combining rolling vineyard views, cool-climate varietals, and the easygoing charm of Victoria’s most iconic wine region.
Start with a barista-made coffee on us at the Melbourne Arts Centre, before we journey out through the leafy suburbs and farmland towards the heart of the Yarra Valley.
Begin your tasting adventure at Helen & Joey Estate, where a premium hilltop setting, sweeping valley views, and a precariously placed unicorn create a warm welcome to wine country.
Continue to Payten & Jones, an urban-style cellar door known for expressive small-batch wines and artistic creative flair - there is a reason this is the locals favourite.
Finish at Soumah, a picturesque estate perched above the valley, embodying all the finest qualities of the Mediterranean both from its vines to its wine - take some time here to relax, and indulge (possibly with another glass of wine).
At each venue, enjoy guided wine tastings of 4+ cool-climate wines that showcase the character and diversity of the region.
With small groups, premium comfort, and a relaxed social vibe, this afternoon escape is perfect for wine lovers, curious foodies, and travellers looking for an easy, indulgent way to experience the Yarra Valley.
