Melbourne Wine Tours
Swirl, sip and swish your way around Melbourne's premier wineries.
It's been said that Melbourne has four seasons in a day, which might not be ideal for sunbathers, but for winemakers it's paradise. Go on a tour of Melbourne's regional winery trails and experience the city's distinctive microclimates.
From experimental artisans to time-honoured traditionalists, Melbourne has an impressive array of wineries. Explore verdant valleys, coastal hillsides and mountain ranges, which produce some of Victoria's most distinguished drops.
It all began in the Yarra Valley, a lush region fed by Melbourne's own Yarra River. Check out the heritage estates that started Victoria's winemaking industry and sample some of the state's oldest vintages. South of Melbourne you'll find the pretty hills of the Mornington Peninsula, which is renowned for its pinot noir and pinot grigio.
Head to Victoria's High Country to experience the region's full-bodied Italian varietals and fortified wines or check out the Macedon Ranges to savour sparkling wines enhanced by pristine mountain air. Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula have acclaimed family-owned wineries, many of which showcase European-style flavours.
Self-guided winery tours, regional railways and charter tours make it easy to discover Melbourne's estates and meet the makers.
