Spend the day tasting some of Victoria&#39;s best wines, visiting approx 3 to 4 Yarra Valley&nbsp;vineyards for you to sample the finest drops.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The Yarra Valley is Victoria&#39;s oldest wine region, dating back to 1838, and has garnered a global reputation for its chardonnay and pinot noir. The Yarra Valley is also known for its local breweries, artisan cider producers, and&nbsp;the best gin from Four Pillars Distillery.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Depart Melbourne in your small group at 10:00 am, driving east to the Yarra Valley. Even though the&nbsp;region has a rich history of viticulture and winemaking that goes back 150 years, it has only been in the past 15 years that it has once again come to the forefront as a significant wine and tourism destination.

&nbsp;

The first vineyard, Yering Station, is the oldest in the Yarra Valley, established in 1938 by the pioneering Ryrie brothers. The large and welcoming cellar door is housed in the original winery building, and the staff will take you on a personalised wine journey, matching your tastes and preferences to the perfect drop.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Next is a smaller winery, Punt Road. It&#39;s a family-owned establishment with more than&nbsp;150 acres of estate-grown vineyards. After your wine tasting here, there&#39;s the option to head over to the Orchard Bar for a cider tasting paddle (own expense).&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Then it is time for lunch (not included), and there are two options to choose from.&nbsp;Stop at Rochford for some more wine tastings, followed by a 2-course lunch, including a glass of wine (this incurs a surcharge of $60), or continue to the village of Healesville, where you have a large variety of cafes to pick. After lunch browse at some of the local shops.

&nbsp;

Finally, the last stop for the day is either&nbsp;Oakridge Winery or Warramunda Estate, depending on the day of the week. The former offers a&nbsp;curated selection of five wines that epitomise the award-winning house style. The latter embraces sustainable viticulture, which combines the practice of organic and biodynamic philosophies.
