Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a private wine tour in the Yarra Valley cost?
Private formats start from $70 per person for driver-only touring where you set the route, run $100 to $170 for hosted private days with tastings included, and reach $295 to $340 for luxury experiences with restaurant lunches and premium cellar doors.
What is the difference between a private tour and a group tour?
A private tour books the vehicle and guide exclusively for your party, so the itinerary, pace, and stops bend to your taste. Group tours run fixed routes with other travellers at a lower per-person price. In the Yarra Valley the private premium is smaller than most regions because travel time from Melbourne is short.
Do private tours pick up from Melbourne?
Most Yarra Valley private operators collect from Melbourne CBD and suburbs as well as valley accommodation, with the drive taking about an hour. Confirm your pickup point when you enquire, as some operators price Melbourne and local pickups differently.
How many people do you need for a private hire wine tour?
Two is enough: chauffeured couples formats exist alongside vans that carry 10 or more. Per-person pricing drops as the group grows, and larger parties can run multiple vehicles on one itinerary.
Can a private tour include Chandon or other famous estates?
Yes. Private itineraries commonly include the marquee names alongside boutique cellar doors, and several operators arrange winemaker tastings or barrel room visits that set-route buses cannot. Tell the operator which estates matter to you when booking.
