Yarra Valley Wine Tour Melbourne: 4 Wineries & Lunch
Four wineries, one valley, lunch in the middle

The experience
"So which one's the Champagne place?" someone always asks on the drive out, and that's Domaine Chandon: the only Moët & Chandon winery outside France, sitting right there in the Yarra Valley about an hour from Melbourne. You start with their sparkling tasting, which sets the tone for the whole day. The valley rolls out around you, vineyards in rows, and the guide talks through what you're tasting without making it feel like a test. After that, you head to Soumah for the lunch stop, where a staff member walks you through a tutored tasting before the food arrives: two courses, shared antipasti boards first, then your choice of slow-cooked lamb, pasta, fish, or the vegetarian orecchiette. A glass of wine comes with it, which is the kind of detail that makes the day feel less rushed.
The afternoon splits between Tokar Estate and Yering Farm, and honestly, the shift in pace is what makes it work. Tokar's the bigger name. You get a guided tasting there and views back over the whole valley, which is the moment you understand why people talk about this region. Then Yering Farm closes it out, and this is where it gets a bit different: it's smaller, family-run, and they push the apple cider hard. Made from their own orchard apples, and it's worth trying even if you came for wine. The whole thing runs from 9:30am pickup to late afternoon, and groups stay under six people, so you're not herded through like a tour bus crowd.
The booking is fully flexible. You can cancel or reschedule free up to 24 hours before, which takes the pressure off if your plans shift. You need to be 18 to join, and the meeting point is set for 9:00am with pickup at 9:30am, so there's a small window to find the spot. If you're staying in Melbourne and don't want to drive the valley yourself, this handles the whole day: transport, entry, tastings, and lunch. You just show up.
Is this one for you?Right for wine drinkers in Melbourne without a car who want to taste four quality wineries in one day without arranging transport or timing the stops themselves. Plan for a full day out. That's what makes fitting four wineries, lunch, and the drive both ways possible.
