Venues, especially wineries, can occasionally change. Message us if you'd like to confirm the plan for your date.
Summer days in the Yarra Valley can be hot and sunny, and there can be a few flies too! Bring a hat, sunscreen and a water bottle, and pace yourself with the tastings.
Some venues have stairs and uneven ground. If anyone in your group uses a wheelchair or walking aid, or finds stairs hard, message us before booking and we'll check what's possible on your date.
