Description
The perfect Yarra Valley day out, blending boutique village charm, towering Redwood forests, the famed Yarra Valley Chocolaterie, and the choice between a Food & Wine or Wildlife experience.
Experience the best of nature, wildlife, and indulgence on our Yarra Valley Full Day Tour, with a thoughtfully designed itinerary that blends relaxed exploration with iconic regional highlights. All enjoyed as part of our premium small-group experience, with no more than 15 travellers on board — the perfect day out from Melbourne.
Your day begins at the Melbourne Arts Centre, where we welcome you with a complimentary barista-made coffee before departure. From there, we head to Warburton, a charming riverside village nestled in the mountains. Take a stroll along the river, explore local cafés and boutique shops, or simply enjoy the fresh air and laid-back atmosphere.
Next, we step into one of the Yarra Valley’s most unforgettable highlights — the towering Californian Redwoods. Hidden deep within the forest, these majestic giants create a truly unique and peaceful setting. Wander beneath the soaring trees as soft light filters through the canopy, offering a quiet moment to slow down and take it all in.
The afternoon offers flexibility to suit your interests. Choose to visit Healesville Sanctuary, where you’ll have time to explore this beautifully designed native wildlife park and encounter iconic Australian animals in a natural bushland setting. Alternatively, opt for a Food & Wine experience, enjoying a relaxed lunch and wine tasting at one of the Yarra Valley’s boutique wineries.
To finish the day, we visit the famed Yarra Valley Chocolaterie, where you can sample handcrafted chocolates, browse the showroom, and treat yourself before the journey back to Melbourne.
