We do fewer wineries better. Instead of racing you through 5 cellar door, we visit 3 of the Yarra Valleys best and give each the time it deserves - a guided tasting at Chandon, a cheese and wine pairing at De Bortoli's and a relaxed lunch and wine tasting at Ai Fiori Trattoria Soumah Wines or Tokar Estate.

Enjoy a guided tasting of exceptional sparkling wines at Chandon, one of the Yarra Valley’s most iconic producers. Hosted by knowledgeable wine specialists, this immersive experience introduces guests to the méthode traditionnelle, with insights into the craftsmanship behind each pour. Set against rolling vineyard views, the tasting showcases a selection of Chandon’s finest cuvées, highlighting the region’s cool-climate elegance and refined style. You can take some time to explore the gift shop and take in the views from the terrace
Lunch is a true highlight of the day, enjoyed at Soumah’s restaurant, where Northern Italian cuisine takes centre stage. Begin with a generous antipasti board, designed to share and showcase fresh, seasonal flavours, followed by your choice of main course. Your meal is perfectly paired with a glass of wine—personally selected as the standout from your earlier tasting—bringing the experience full circle. Set amongst rolling vineyards, the restaurant offers stunning views and a warm, inviting ambience that encourages you to relax and savour the moment. Depending on your booking date, we also have the beautiful Tokar Estate as a dining option, where a chef’s table experience provides an equally memorable and indulgent alternative for lunch and a wine tasting
Your day includes a premium cheese and wine pairing at De Bortoli Estate, hosted in the exclusive VIP or Trophy Room for an intimate and elevated experience. Guided by knowledgeable hosts, you’ll enjoy a curated selection of cheeses perfectly matched to De Bortoli’s standout wines, including the iconic and multi award-winning Noble One—renowned as one of Australia’s finest dessert wines. This relaxed yet refined setting offers the perfect finale, bringing together flavour, storytelling, and a true sense of place in the Yarra Valley. Please note should De Bortoli be unavailable due to private events such as weddings, we offer an equally enjoyable alternative at St Huberts Estate, featuring a cheese board paired with their estate wines in a beautiful vineyard setting.
