Yarra Valley by night! Private wine, whisky and dinner tour

About this tour

A private evening escape from Melbourne into the Yarra Valley's wine country. Departing between 3pm and 5pm, you'll spend five to six hours tasting wines and spirits at local producers, meeting the winemakers behind them, then settling into dinner at Meletos as vineyard views fade into twilight. Your guide steers you toward their favourite spots—expect a proper introduction to the Valley's drinking culture, not a tourist tick-box.

Highlights

• Generous wine tastings at Barrique, where locals gather
• Choose your spirit: whisky, gin, beer or wine focus
• Meet winemakers and producers on their home turf
• Two-course dinner at Meletos with vineyard vistas
• Private car throughout—no coach groups
• Sunset over Tuscan gardens and mountain backdrop
• Only one hour from central Melbourne

What to expect

You'll travel by private car to Healesville, the Valley's charming hub, where Barrique offers serious tastings rather than superficial sips. From there, your guide takes you to secondary tasting venues—your choice whether to focus on wine, whisky, gin or beer. Conversations with producers happen naturally; expect to learn what they actually drink themselves. Dinner at Meletos lands you in Mediterranean-style grounds overlooking rolling vineyards as daylight softens. You'll order from the full menu (two courses included); the kitchen knows how to match local wines to the plates. Return to Melbourne around 9:30–10pm.
