Yarra Valley Cycling & Wine Tour

Enjoy a delightful day out exploring the best of the Yarra Valley by bike, from cool temperate forests to cool climate wines this is a day tour with a difference. Combine relaxing cycling with indulgence as you sample the Yarra Valley's finest wines and produce. We start our day with a morning drive from Melbourne city centre up into the Dandenong ranges, along a spectacular corridor of Giant Mountain Ash trees and fern trees to a look out over the Yarra Valley.

The cycling
Our day begins from a vantage point over the Yarra valley where we offload our bikes 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 & cycling in Victoria. But not before we have morning tea at the delightful Rail carriage cafe, in a historic converted train carriage. After an easy 12km of level terrain on the rail trail through the heart of the Yarra Valley 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.

Yarra Valley Wine & Cheese tasting
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 5:30- 6:00pm.
