Enjoy a fun and relaxed day of exploring our favourite venues in the Yarra Valley on this full day tour. We’ll pick you and other guests up from your accommodation in the Yarra Valley or at Lilydale Train Station (if coming from Melbourne) so you don’t have to drive! **Itinerary may change depending on availability during restrictions** First stop is Yering Station, Victoria's historic first winery. We'll start the day with a tasting of the elegant cool climate wines including their classic sparkling wine (don’t call it Champagne!). Next stop is Yering Farm winery set in a rustic cellar door in an old hay shed where we will sample a variety of wines including some big reds and apple cider! Over lunchtime we will visit Healesville township with ample time to explore the picture perfect village with it’s wine bars, distilleries and burger joints and a variety of lunch options to suit all budgets. *lunch is not included in the tour price. After lunch we’ll scoot back into the rolling hills and visit Rochford winery with it’s wide variety of quality wines which we will sample followed by time to visit the gift shop. Our last stop is the Napoleone Cider Bar surrounded by an apple orchard where each couple will receive a cider tasting paddle and a decadent cider cocktail (or beer)! Relax, enjoy the view! You’ll then be dropped back to your pickup point between 4.30- 5.30pm

After you come in the gate, turn right and park opposite the orchard. Then walk down to the wooden house and through the door with "Alternative View" painted on it and two alpacas kissing. I will meet you there and then we will walk up to the barn to meet the alpacas. In the barn, we’ll meet some Alpacas and put their halters on while talking about the history of these sweet animals. Before we set off, you’ll have the opportunity to ask any burning questions, but of course you can ask questions at any time. We’ll walk the Alpacas around the farm which usually takes about an hour. After the walk, if you’d like, you can see the free ranging chickens in the orchard and check out our permaculture vegetable garden. If the dates or times open for an experience do not suit you please contact brigitte through contact host page and I will arrange for you to come at a time of your choice Our birthing season starts in December Other things to note If you would like a different time or day, please ring Brigitte on 0427 201192 between hours of 7 am and 7 pm to book a time and day which is convenient for you.

We'll first tour the organic mini-farm and focus on its unique features - how the garden and animals are organised and integrated using permaculture thinking. We'll talk about how chooks, goats and pigs can all be used for various purposes on a self-sufficient property, and how a wide variety of organic veggie, berry and fruit crops can be positioned, rotated and grown. Then we'll get hands-on with seed sowing, planting and soil cultivation. You'll learn great techniques to grow organic veggies, berries and fruits - how to make compost and enrich your soil organically, how to cultivate and weed efficiently, how to time your plantings, and how to raise plants from seed to advanced seedlings before planting to make the most of your garden space. We'll finish by learning how to milk a goat, which is a fun thing to try and also a handy skill if you're considering becoming more self-sufficient one day. Lunch is provided as part of the workshop, which you can eat in at our cafe Home Grown on Piper cafe in Kyneton, which features healthy, tasty dishes made with organic, ethical produce from our farm and other local producers. You can pick and purchase some organic produce, seeds or seedlings for your garden at the end of the workshop. The aim is to inspire you in your own garden, so you'll feel confident to take the seeds or seedlings home and grow them successfully yourself!

We'll pick you up in the morning and mainly focus on everyone getting to know each other. We get everyone to add to a Spotify playlist so we have some tunes and spend the first hour just chatting! On my trip we will go to 4 places, each consisting of 6-7 tastings. I have a bunch of wineries that I know you'll love and will go to them if no-one is too picky, however I make sure I listen to the group. My trip is a little democracy. Everything we do on my trip is discussed by the group in the morning. I will give you options to choose from including 50-70 different wineries, cheese factories and chocolate factories, Cider houses, restaurants and breweries. We WILL go to 4 of these places, however if we choose the Gin distillery, brewhouse or a restaurant there may be added expenses (no more than 5$ each) However if you just want to come along and put your trust in me, we will visit 4 four unique wineries, all with a point of difference, with a 45 minute stop at a very scenic one for some snacks that I encourage you to bring along. I also play guitar and like to enjoy snacks, wine and music as a group. We'll also go for a search for Kangaroos in a secret spot! Will be back by 5pm:) Other things to note Bring your own food as the region does not have readily available cafe's restaurant. We can always stop somewhere but it might be a little later in the day and you might get hungry!
