Yarra Valley winery tour
Melbourne tours, Melbourne attractions
If you’re a wine lover visiting Melbourne, you simply must take a tour of the Yarra Valley vineyards, and the Yarra Valley Wine Experience is easily the best way to get there - there are no maps or hire cars to worry about - all you need to do is eat and drink, and possibly sleep on the way home! The guided tour leaves from several departure points in the Melbourne CBD, and includes all transport, tours of Domaine Chandon, Yering Station and Rochford’s Winery, tastings at each winery, and lunch at the famous Rochford’s Winery Restaurant (they even offer a vegetarian lunch!). This is a fantastic way to see the Yarra Valley!
