Example Itinerary

This itinerary is a guide to how your gourmet day might unfold. We can adjust any stop to suit your preferences.

Pick-up from Melbourne CBD/Metro, or 10:15 am from your Yarra Valley address.

Our first stop is the elegant Soumah. This boutique cellar door specialises in Northern Italian varietals like Savarro and Nebbiolo. Enjoy a flight of 5 premium wines while overlooking one of the most stunning vineyard backdrops in the valley.

Choose between two of our favourite local destinations:

Option 1 – Steels Gate Wines: A refined, upper-class lunch experience featuring a seated wine tasting and a glass of estate-grown wine.

Option 2 – Coldstream Brewery: A relaxed, pub-style lunch with a choice of pizzas or parmas. Includes your choice of a beer/cider tasting paddle or a glass of wine.

Multi-course upgrades are available at either venue.

The choice is yours. Visit the Yarra Valley Dairy for a flight of handmade cheeses produced on-site, or head to a boutique winery like Helens Hill or Yering Farm for an intimate cellar door session.

Experience the world’s best gin at its home base. Enjoy a curated tasting paddle featuring their Rare Dry, Bloody Shiraz, and Navy Strength gins, served with premium Fever-Tree tonic or soda.

If time permits, we’ll make a quick stop at the Chocolaterie for a final indulgence before the journey home.

We bid farewell to the valley and begin the comfortable return journey to your drop-off location.
