About this experience
With a wine growing history of over 180 years, the Yarra Valley is Victoria’s oldest wine growing region. Today it is one of the world’s leading cold climate wine growing regions with internationally known names such as Domaine Chandon, St Huberts and De Bortoli. Not only is the Yarra Valley famous for its vineyards, it has many other attractions too and we can help you visit all of them. We know it’s sensible advice to not mix your drinks but what if you’re in a region where you can sample, wine, cider, beer, gin, whisky and locally made liqueurs? It’s hard not to! The great news is we have contacts across the Valley and can customise your day each and every time to ensure it’s got the perfect blend for you, your group and of course your budget. We try to not go to the venues most of the other companies go to and we also try to limit your time on this bus and will book venues that are close together to maximise your winery time.

What you'll see and do
Sir Paz Estate
Our standard Yarra Valley itinerary includes lunch and 3 wine tastings so we always start the day with a tasting at the first stop. We have our favourite venues that we love to create an itinerary from, subject to their availability, so these may not always be the same..
60 minutes here · Admission included
Our groups typically have lunch and a wine tasting at our 2nd stop of the day. We give groups around 2 hours to settle in and enjoy their lunch as well as their 2nd tasting.
120 minutes here · Admission included
Morgans Winery & Distillery
The 3rd stop of the day is our last tasting but we encourage groups to get comfortable with a bottle of their favourite and enjoy the scenery after the tasting. This stop lasts around 90 minutes so plenty of time to relax and chat before we start heading back.

Exceeded expectations!!
We hired a bus with Adam at Victorian Bus Charters for a private trip to a Yarra Valley winery. Communication before the trip was excellent and prompt. On the day, Adam arrived on time and was very easy and friendly to deal with. We had a fantastic trip with him and the bus was clean, spacious and comfortable. Would highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again. It took all the stress out of transporting everyone to the winery and back. Thanks Adam!
Response from the operator: Hi Kerry, Thanks for the kind words. We're glad you had a good day out!

Excellent
Adam was fantastic to organise with, and Pat our driver was so much fun and relaxed. He arrived early and drove a bunch of rowdy adults around the yarra valley and back again, and we had a great time. Thanks again :)
Response from the operator: Thanks for the kind words. Pat always does a great job. Hope to see you on board again soon!

Response from the operator: Thanks for the review. We're so happy you had a good time!

Yarra Valley Wine Tour
Very easy to organise and worked out to be much more affordable than booking a private tour. Derek was a great driver and Adam made the planning very seamless. We had a great day! Highly recommend Victorian Bus Charters.
Response from the operator: Thanks Sarah. Glad you had a good day!

5 Star Experience
This was my second time booking a Yarra Valley wine tour with Victorian Bus Charters and the service they provide is next to none. Adam and his team organised our tour for us from start to finish catering for all of our needs. These guys are very professional. We had a lot of fun! 10/10 if you ask me!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for the kind review. You guys are always such fun so you are more than welcome on board!

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Yarra Valley Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Private Yarra Valley Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1389 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Yarra Valley Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.
Is Private Yarra Valley Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Yarra Valley Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Yarra Valley Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Yarra Valley Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Yarra Valley Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Melbourne?
+
On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Melbourne?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Melbourne?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
