2.Ultimate Yarra Valley Chandon, Soumah & De Bortoli Cheese & Wine

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 331 reviews · from $204Top rated

Travel from Melbourne in a small group of up to eight with guides such as Nicci and Bill. Taste sparkling wine at Chandon, pair wine with cheese at De Bortoli, visit boutique wineries, enjoy a two-course lunch, and watch for wild kangaroos.

“Our guide, Billy, was cheery and jovial. He set up a nice atmosphere for us to get to know everyone else on the tour. It was a small group of 6 people, and we ended up having so much fun together. Billy has been "around the world a couple of times and maybe more", so had so much to tell us about Melbourne and the Yarra Valley with a worldly view. The selected wineyards were all good with a broad selection of wines, and goes with the beautiful settings to enjoy them with lovely company. Lunch was absolutely gorgeous, both courses were delicately prepared with plenty of choices to choose…”
