Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Watts River Brewing, 7 Hunter Rd, Healesville, Victoria 3777 Australia

This is one of the best tasting experiences you will ever have. Quality, variety, quantity (hehe!) and a lot of laughs will be at what is often our first stop in the morning. Let’s just say that by the time we leave there is usually a noticable increase in chatter as we roll on to stop two…

Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes

Stop At: Coldstream Brewery, 694 Maroondah Hwy, Coldstream VIC 3770, Australia

Coldstream Brewery is our regular lunch stop on our Yarra Valley tour because they are exceptional! A brewpub with indoor and ourdoor areas in the suburb of Coldstream serving hearty gourmet meals washed down with the Yarra Valley’s best beer, wine, cider and spirits.

So good.

Stop At: Alchemy Distillers, 242 Maroondah Hwy, Healesville, Victoria 3777 Australia

Alchemy are some of our very best mates and we love stopping in here on tour. These guys have made amazing gins, vodkas, whisky, rum, liquors and everything fun and boozy inbetween.

We have a taste, stay for a drink and usually nose around for some special splashes for us to try.

We choose at least 4 stops to visit every day to create the best tour possible for each group.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Badger Creek Blueberry Farm, 11 Garnook Grove, Badger Creek, Victoria 3777 Australia

St Ronan’s Cider @ Badger Creek Blueberry winery is basically a super band. Multiple really talented people got together and created a side project making regular and champagne ciders, blueberry wines, ports, sparklings, moscato, cocktails and icecream only for it to become some of the most awarded products in Australia. Amazing work!

We like to have a massive tasting here, followed by cheese boards and more drinks. The icecream is a treat in summer (or winter!!).

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Four Pillars Distillery, 2a Lilydale Rd, Healesville, Victoria 3777 Australia

Four Pillars is a true Aussie success story and it is because they are exceptional in everything that they do. Amazing venue, great staff and world class gin that has brought some of the worlds top spirit prizes home to Australia.

We usualy recommend a tasting followed by a drink or two because we are paying!

We don’t visit Four Pillars on busy days as doesn’t fit into our cruise at our own pace, get served quickly, don’t line up for things vibe that we get going.

Stop At: Punt Road Wines, 10 St Huberts Rd, Coldstream, Victoria 3770 Australia

Sumptuous wines, beer and cider available, cheese boards, bocce court, live music. That’s it. Just all those outstanding things (and hopefully a little sunshine)!

We visit four stops on each tour depending on the day, group and what we think will be awesome.
