Yarra Valley is one of Victoria’s most famous winery regions in Australia. Why? It has lovely landscapes, award-winning wine, and elegant eateries. However, most people seem to go to the same, popular vineyards each time and overlook some of the best places the valley has to offer. Many of these businesses are run by families and passed down through generations. From paddock to plate (or vine to glass) the dedicated artisans in our “Cheeky Vino” Winery Tour will tell you everything you need to know about what you’re enjoying.
And that’s where the real magic of the Yarra Valley lies.
With a fully licensed and accredited tour guide at your side, our aim is to provide you with an unforgettable experience exploring the best wines that Yarra Valley has to offer.
Our 1st stop is Stefani Estate, a family-owned boutique winery which has spectacular single vineyard sites in the Yarra Valley, Victoria. At the Stefani Estate Cellar Door, you will enjoy tastings of hand-crafted elegant wines from three single vineyard sites. ‘The View’ site is one of the highest in the valley at 300m above sea level. Its range of vines planted in 1998 include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The more temperate ‘The Gate’ vineyard site produces delicious Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Sangiovese. From the Belaradah site they have Nebbiolo and others.
Enjoy a tutored tasting & a sumptuous gourmet lunch at Soumah Wines, our 2nd stop for the day. Known for their award-winning Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this hidden gem is located down a county lane in the dress circle Warramate foothills of the Yarra Valley, offering visitors spectacular views of the vineyard and the surrounding Warramate Hills.
Set in a rustic shed oozing charm, Yering Farm isn’t a site you want to rush past; it’s a popular place to be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy a glass of wine or cider if you’ve got the time. Yering Farm offers an approachable variety of entry level wines, with a mid-range and premium level also available on taste. Where they really shine is in their reds, especially with their crowd pleasing Pinot Noirs and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties. Their talents also lie beyond the vineyards though, thanks to their delicious cider produced from their own orchard. It’s a crisp and fresh cider made from 100% premium pink lady apples, and is definitely not to be missed.
