Yarra Valley Wine Tour with Station Pier Pickup

This Yarra Valley day tour is aimed at cruise passengers who want an easy winery outing straight from Station Pier. It leans social rather than formal, with shared transport, a relaxed group vibe and tastings included at multiple venues. The day usually covers two wineries, a lunch stop where you buy your own meal, and a final drink at Domaine Chandon. It is a good option if you want someone else to handle the transport and planning, and you are happy joining a public group.

You will be picked up in the morning from the car park where passengers depart from the ship at Station Pier. The first part of the drive is used to get the group chatting, and the guide keeps the day fairly flexible depending on what the group wants and what venues are open. The standard format is four stops in total, with tastings included at the venues visited, usually including two wineries, a restaurant stop for lunch at your own expense, then a final drink at scenic Domaine Chandon. Groups are kept relatively small, though the vehicle may be an 11-seat van or a larger minibus. Luggage space is generally not available, so plan to travel light.
