FOOD & WINE TOURS

I started wine tours with a small group of friends in late 2010, travelling to a few new wineries in the Yarra Valley the past few years. When you drive through the sweeping vineyards and the rolling hills of the Yarra Valley you will discover the hidden secrets and pure delights of smaller wineries and larger vineyards in the Valley. I take you through a journey to award winning vineyards, cellar doors and wineries of this luscious region.

I often travel to the Yarra Valley with many groups in all four seasons. On each visit you will be blown away with a different experience. From wine making to beautiful autumn leaves turning into spectacular golden yellow which will take you to another place.

As a small group operator I have carefully selected some wineries where you could taste some fine wines with the makers, followed by a guided tour of the wine making process. In my special tour packages I have included some historical, world-renowned and highly awarded wineries, highlighting their subtle differences in flavour profiles that are unique to their own regions and methods. Some of these include Domaine Chandon, Oakridge Winery, Dominique Portet, Yering Farm Winery, Innocent Bystander Winery and Yering Station Winery and many more.

I have been sharing my experience with many local, inter-state and overseas travellers over the years. Most unforgettable experience for many of my clients is the intimate tasting session with the makers in small wineries. A good half of my clients are return travellers or their friends and family, gained through good word of mouth. Been a small operator has given me more flexibility in customising these tours according to clients needs.

May it be a private intimate wine tour or a small group tour; I’ll put my every effort to make it a lasting experience. As a small operator spreading the good word of mouth though exceeding your expectation has been the secret to success. Proudly moving forward as ‘Yarra Valley Cellar Door Tours’ has been a lifelong dream of mine over the years.
