Begin your day with a convenient pickup from Melbourne CBD or nearby accommodation. Settle in for a day of wildlife encounters and cool-climate wines in the Yarra Valley.

Head to Healesville Sanctuary to meet Australian wildlife up close. Wander bushland tracks and catch keeper talks among towering gums.

Next, enjoy a guided tasting at a local cellar door, then linger over a relaxed lunch with vineyard views.

In the afternoon, choose your second tasting—boutique winery or craft gin distillery. Compare notes and favorites with your group.

Finish with sweet treats at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery. Watch the chocolate theatre and sample a scoop before heading back to the city.

Travel back in comfort and arrive in Melbourne around 5:30 PM, with cellar-door flavors and wildlife moments still fresh in mind.
