Yarra Valley Cycling and Wine Tour
Day Tour
Adults $165.00
Description
Our day begins from a spectacular vantage point over the Yarra valley where we take morning tea before descending from the Dandenongs and begin cycling on backlanes for 5km through the rolling countryside of the Yarra Valley, with simply delightful views of farmland, vineyards and distant mountains.
It's onwards to the town of Seville - another nice downhill - where we join the Lilydale to Warburton rail trail through some of the best scenery and cycling in Victoria. But first it's time for morning tea at the unique Carriage Cafe, which is housed in a historic old railway carriage. Then we continue our adventure through the countryside of the Yarra valley. After an easy 12km of cycling level terrain on the rail trail we join the van again and put our bikes away, as it's time to indulge in some serious wine tasting!!
Our support vehicle will follow your group and if you wish to stop cycling you can simply hop onboard at any time. We can provide jackets for cold and wet conditions but in the unlikely event of very bad weather that is not suitable for cycling your leader may substitute the ride with a trip on the famous Puffing Billy steam train ride through the hills instead.
Next prepare to enjoy our gourmet picnic lunch outdoors as a reward for the exercise. The Yarra Valley is internationally recognized as a leading cool climate wine region and the home to some very fine produce. Our first stop is at Killara Estate, where after enjoying a tasting we prepare for a gourmet picnic lunch at Punt Road
Next stop is a nice boutique Vineyard, and cellar door at Coombe Farm, which was once home to the famous Dame Nellie Melba. Afterwards it's time for a delicious cheese tasting session at the Yarra Valley Dairy to finish off a magical day. We then return back to Melbourne aiming to be back in the city for 5:30pm - 6:00pm.
