Yarra Valley Wine Tour with Lunch and Chocolaterie Stop

This full-day Yarra Valley wine tour is a straightforward option if you want the tasting experience without sorting out transport. The day includes three winery estate tastings, a gourmet winery lunch, and a glass of wine of your choice with lunch, plus a visit to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery. It is a smaller-group guided tour with return coach transfers from Richmond, just outside Melbourne, so it suits travellers who want an organised day out that feels a bit more polished than a basic bus tour.

You’ll check in at 8:45am near Richmond Station, with the coach departing at 9am. From there, the group heads out to the Yarra Valley for a guided day that includes some background on the region as you travel. Over the course of the day, you’ll visit three winery estates for tastings, stop for a gourmet lunch at a winery, and get a glass of wine to enjoy with your meal. There’s also time for a visit to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery before heading back. Travel time is included in the overall 8-hour duration, and dietary requirements can be catered for with at least 24 hours’ notice.
