Vinetrekker

Vinetrekker runs fully inclusive small-group day tours to the Yarra Valley from Melbourne, visiting 5 of the area's most successful and contrasting wineries — a deliberate itinerary that gives guests genuine range across the valley's producers rather than repeating the same style across every stop. Tours run from 8:30am to 5:30pm with pick-up and drop-off included. Standard Yarra Valley day tour prices start from $290 per person. For guests wanting to make the day exceptional, Vinetrekker offers a 'Wine, Food and Fly' tour at $895 per person (based on 4 or more) — combining a hot air balloon flight over the Yarra Valley at sunrise with a full day of winery visits and lunch. The Balloon and Wine Day Tour is similarly priced at $860 per adult on weekdays, covering the balloon flight and a curated winery itinerary. Regular day tour wineries include Medhurst, Coldstream Hills, Payten and Jones, and lunch at Yering Station — one of the Yarra Valley's most iconic dining addresses with a wine list to match. Wine and cheese at De Bortoli Winery features on selected itineraries, rounding out a day that spans the valley's heritage estates and its newer generation of producers. Vinetrekker's focus on small groups and a leisurely pace makes them well suited to wine enthusiasts who want to go deeper than a tasting-room sprint — expect more time at each estate, more conversation with winemakers, and guides whose wine knowledge goes beyond reading the back label.
