Itinerary

• Flexible & Customisable Itinerary

  This tour is 100% customizable based on your group’s interests and your selected tour duration. An endless menu of options awaits, and your host will work closely with you to tailor the perfect day. Here is a look at a typical day's itinerary options – usually 30-40 minutes per stop with 40+ minutes transit from CBD.

• The Vintage Departure

  Your experience begins when John pulls up to your hotel or preferred meeting spot in his immaculately restored 1956 Chevrolet. Slide onto the classic bench seats, soak in the retro nostalgia, and wave goodbye to the city as you head east.

• The Scenic Back Road Cruise

  Rather than sticking to the predictable highway routes, John puts the Chevy to work on his favourite country back roads through Wonga Park. This is where the fun really begins - winding past rolling hills, hidden valleys, and beautiful Australian bushland with the window down and a great conversation flowing.

• Boutique Cellar Door Wine Tastings

  Arrive in the heart of wine country. John will guide you to premium, character-filled boutique vineyards known for the region's famous cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Enjoy intimate tastings away from the mass-tourist buses. Stops are chosen according to taste, interest and experience – either en route (always fun!) or booked prior according to choice.

• TarraWarra Estate (Winery & Museum of Art)

  Pull up the grand driveway to one of the valley's most visually spectacular locations. Here, world-class architecture blends seamlessly into the hillside. You can choose to sample their exceptional estate wines or wander through the striking TarraWarra Museum of Art to enjoy outstanding indoor and outdoor exhibitions.

• Four Pillars Gin & Local Craft Breweries

  Time to switch gears from wine! We can stop by the world-renowned Four Pillars Gin distillery in Healesville for a premium tasting paddle, or pull into a local independent brewery to sample crisp, cold craft beers and locally pressed cider.

• Healesville Township & The Yarra Valley Chocolaterie

  Just past Healesville on the road through to The Black Spur is an historical park with picnic ground and short walk trails. And through this traditional old garden are often found small groups of kangaroos/wallabies and native Australia birds, including cockatoos.

• Maroondah Reservoir Park (wildlife)

  Just past Healesville on the road through to The Black Spur is an historical park with picnic ground and short walk trails. And through this traditional old garden are often found small groups of kangaroos/wallabies and native Australia birds, including cockatoos.

• Boutique Beverages (craft beer, local cider, soft drinks etc.)

  The valley plays host to a number of small scale producers of high quality drinks, not just the wines for which it is otherwise famous. Depending on interests and tastes, these producers can be included within tour itineraries.

• Yarra Valley Dairy & Gourmet Produce Shopping

  We wrap up our valley loop at a historic 100-year-old milking shed, home to the Yarra Valley Dairy. Pull up a seat for a cheese tasting plate paired with a warm coffee or a local drop. There will also be plenty of time to stock up on locally made relishes, preserves, and gourmet farm gate produce before the journey home.

• The Smooth Cruise Back

  Sit back, relax, and enjoy the smooth, iconic ride of the ’56 Chevy as John drives you safely back to the city. You’ll be dropped off right at your door with a camera full of photos, a boot full of gourmet goodies, and plenty of great memories.
