This tour is ideal if you’re short on time but still want to experience the Yarra Valley’s best. In just six hours – with return transfers from the city included – you’ll take in two of the region’s most celebrated highlights. From the refined sparkle of Domaine Chandon to the bold botanicals of Four Pillars Gin, it’s a relaxed way to enjoy a taste of Victoria’s food and drink scene without leaving the whole day behind.

Suggested but highly flexible itinerary:

The day begins with a comfortable transfer from your city hotel, heading east to the Yarra Valley’s gently undulating hills.

Domaine Chandon
Your first stop is one of the Valley’s most celebrated names. Chandon has built a global reputation by marrying centuries-old French technique with the character of Australian terroir. On arrival, a host will guide you through the Étoile experience, an elegant tasting of prestige cuvées that highlight the house style. Afterwards, settle in for a two-course lunch in the restaurant, with sweeping vineyard views and a menu designed to complement Chandon’s sparkling wines.

Four Pillars Distillery
From bubbles to botanicals, the journey continues at Four Pillars, a distillery that’s redefined gin for a new generation. In their lively Healesville space, discover the craft and creativity behind their award-winning gins. Native ingredients like lemon myrtle, pepperberry, and finger lime bring an unmistakably Australian twist. A guided tasting will introduce you to their core range – from Rare Dry to Navy Strength – with plenty of character and conversation along the way.

After a full day of tasting and toasting, your driver-guide will bring you back to Melbourne, arriving refreshed and relaxed by late afternoon.
