Bespoke Yarra Valley Journeys
8:00AM 2 - 56 7 HrsTrip Overview
Are you searching for a day out that is perfectly aligned with your vision? At Big Grape Winery Tours, we specialise in fully customisable private itineraries that put you in the driver’s seat. Whether you are dreaming of a romantic proposal amongst the vines, a high-energy birthday celebration, or a sophisticated corporate retreat, we have the local expertise to make it happen.
Our private tours can be meticulously planned by our team, or you can take the lead and suggest your own favourite hidden gems. We pride ourselves on total flexibility—if you decide on the day that you’d rather stay for another round of gin than head to the next winery, we adjust the schedule to suit your flow. Operating 7 days a week, we offer premium door-to-door service across all Melbourne metropolitan areas and the Yarra Valley.

Your Custom Itinerary
There is no “standard” day when you book a custom tour. Below are just a few ideas of the venues and experiences we can integrate into your day:
Visit the iconic Steels Gate Wines for a garden-to-plate lunch, or head to Pimpernel Vineyards for a masterclass in Pinot Noir.
Include a reserved tasting at Four Pillars Gin Distillery or a visit to Alchemy Distilling.
Stop at the Yarra Valley Dairy for a handmade cheese flight or the Chocolaterie for a decadently sweet afternoon break.
Start the morning with a Hot Air Balloon flight or a visit to the Healesville Sanctuary to see native wildlife before the tastings begin.
