This afternoon in the Yarra Valley is built around what people remember: an exclusive tasting at Chandon, and a kangaroo experience at sunset we're confident enough to guarantee.
Chandon caps how many people it takes per tour, so most big-bus operators can't get a booking there at all. We can, with groups kept to no more than 12. You'll be guided throughout by a local guide-driver who knows the valley well.
Departing Federation Square at 11.30am, you'll enjoy fresh strawberries, a light charcuterie lunch at Coldstream Dairy, an exclusive tasting at Chandon which includes 3 sparkling wines (even their famous sparking Shiraz, a wine tasting at Yering Station, and a private chocolate tasting, before heading into quiet bushland for the sunset kangaroo experience. We guarantee you'll see wild kangaroos, or your money back.
Children aged 2 and up are welcome, with hot chocolate or coffee and time with the farm's sheep for younger guests. Back in Melbourne by early evening.
Meeting point: Federation Square Bus & Coach Pickup Drop-off Zone, corner of Flinders Street and Russell Street. Look for the white bus branded "Yarra Valley Touring." Departs 11.30am, returns to Melbourne in the early evening. Duration approximately 7 hours.
