Renowned for exceptional wines, Melbourne & Sydney are both gateways to some of Australia’s best wine growing regions.

Discover the Sydney Opera House and enjoy a show or admire the view of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge and the bustling waterfront area.  Wander around the historic Rocks and Circular Quay - an historic precinct complete with art galleries, cafes and a weekend market.  Visit Taronga Zoo and stay overnight!  Visit the Hunter Valley, Australia’s oldest and one of its greatest wine areas.
First established more than 150 years ago, it is home to some 80 wineries ranging from famous labels to very small ‘boutique’ winemakers. The region is renowned for its full-bodied white wines, ‘medium weight reds’ and some excellent ports.

Continue to Melbourne, the cultural capital of Australia.  Melbourne is best known for the international sporting events it holds, and the award-winning restaurant and café’ scene, brought about by the cultural melting pot that is Melbourne.  Dress up for the theater, meander through the lanes and arcades to find myriad designer boutiques and galleries, or take in a game of Aussie Rules football.
Enjoy the best of the Yarra Valley wine region in luxury and style with a personalized epicurean tour. An intimate experience with a maximum of 10 people will ensure your passion for wine and food is satisfied with delicious Yarra Valley produce and specialty wine tastings.

With Melbourne as your base, there are plenty of opportunities to explore Victoria.
