Itinerary
Guided Sparkling Tasting at Chandon There's a particular kind of pleasure in tasting sparkling wine where it's actually made — in the Yarra Valley, where cool mornings and slow-ripening autumns give these wines their nerve and their finesse. Your guided tasting at Chandon is built around that sense of place, and around you: a small group, an unhurried pace, and someone walking you through every glass. This isn't a quick pour at a crowded bar. You'll settle in and taste your way through a considered flight of sparkling Take the time to enjoy a tasting of 5 sparkling foundation wines in the dedicated tasting room. Hear more about the Chandon brand and their journey to Australia. You will have time to visit the gift shop and the terrace and take a look at the Homestead before heading to a wine tasting followed by lunch at Soumah or Tokar Estate.

Cheese and Wine Pairing
On the way back to your hotel, we drive into Heritage Golf and Country Club — two Jack Nicklaus-designed 18-hole courses, a residential estate, and home to the Yarra Valley Lodge Hotel. But the real reason we slow down here is the locals: a large mob of wild kangaroos that lives right on the course. We take our time, cameras ready, for what's often the most photographed moment of the day.

Excellent tour. Three wineries that all had distinctive wines. Excellent lunch. Really enjoyed the wine and cheese pairing at De Bertoli. Bill our guide was informative and friendly.
We did a wonderful tour with local guide Bill from Melbourne into the Yarra Valley. Great wines, foods and lovely company with another couple from New York!
