Experience the Yarra Valley the Local Way on a relaxed afternoon wine tour from Melbourne, combining rolling vineyard views, cool-climate varietals, and the easygoing charm of Victoria’s most iconic wine region.

Start with a barista-made coffee on us at the Melbourne Arts Centre, before we journey through leafy suburbs and open farmland toward the heart of the Yarra Valley.

Begin your tasting adventure at Helen & Joey Estate, where a premium hilltop setting, shared grazing board, and sweeping valley views create a warm welcome to wine country.

Continue to Payten & Jones, an urban-style cellar door known for expressive small-batch wines and creative flair, followed by Soumah, a picturesque hilltop estate offering endless photo opportunities among the vines.

At each venue, enjoy guided wine tastings of 4+ cool-climate varietals that showcase the region’s signature style and diversity.

With small groups, premium comfort, and a relaxed social vibe, this afternoon escape is perfect for wine lovers, curious foodies, and travellers seeking an easy, indulgent introduction to the Yarra Valley.
