Description
With a wine growing history of over 180 years, the Yarra Valley is Victoria’s oldest wine growing region.
Today it is one of the world’s leading cold climate wine growing regions with internationally known names such as Domaine Chandon, St Huberts and De Bortoli.
Not only is the Yarra Valley famous for its vineyards, it has many other attractions too and we can help you visit all of them.
We know it’s sensible advice to not mix your drinks but what if you’re in a region where you can sample, wine, cider, beer, gin, whisky and locally made liqueurs? It’s hard not to!
The great news is we have contacts across the Valley and can customise your day each and every time to ensure it’s got the perfect blend for you, your group and of course your budget.
We try to not go to the venues most of the other companies go to and we also try to limit your time on this bus and will book venues that are close together to maximise your winery time.

Exceeded expectations!!
We hired a bus with Adam at Victorian Bus Charters for a private trip to a Yarra Valley winery. Communication before the trip was excellent and prompt. On the day, Adam arrived on time and was very easy and friendly to deal with. We had a fantastic trip with him and the bus was clean, spacious and comfortable. Would highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again. It took all the stress out of transporting everyone to the winery and back. Thanks Adam!

Excellent
Adam was fantastic to organise with, and Pat our driver was so much fun and relaxed. He arrived early and drove a bunch of rowdy adults around the yarra valley and back again, and we had a great time. Thanks again :)

Yarra Valley Wine Tour
Very easy to organise and worked out to be much more affordable than booking a private tour. Derek was a great driver and Adam made the planning very seamless. We had a great day! Highly recommend Victorian Bus Charters.

5 Star Experience
This was my second time booking a Yarra Valley wine tour with Victorian Bus Charters and the service they provide is next to none. Adam and his team organised our tour for us from start to finish catering for all of our needs. These guys are very professional. We had a lot of fun! 10/10 if you ask me!

Excellent Day Out, with Victorian Bus Charters
I booked a winery tour for a hens day with Victorian Bus Charters, and they were fantastic. Adam was very accommodating and easy to deal with throughout the booking process (amid unclear covid restrictions as well), and on the day our driver Pete was great, friendly and easy going, always happy and available to assist.
Would highly recommend for your next outing!
