Tour Details

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 CPVV accredited driver at your side, our aim is to provide you with a memorable experience exploring the best wines that Yarra Valley has to offer at an affordable price. This 8-hour private tour package price per person includes tastings at 3 different wineries, a gourmet lunch, a special visit to the local distillery, brewery or chocolaterie, and private transport to all wineries.

  • This tour requires a minimum of 8 guests however we are happy to cater to smaller groups as well. Please get in touch with us for a custom quotation for smaller groups. 
  • Kindly send us an email to bookings@amitours.com.au if you wish to make a tentative booking.

11.00 A.M:Wine Tastings at Tokar Estate

Our first stop is Tokar Esate, a winery with a beautiful range of boutique wines and new vintage releases, including an award-winning Pinot Noir and unique varietal Tempranillo.
 
Tokar Estate is like an old oil painting, with views of the finest vineyards, surrounding mountain ranges and stunning skylines. Tokar Estate is a great spot to relax, soak up nature’s beauty, and enjoy the amazing cuisine crafted by top chefs.

12:00 P.M:Wine Tastings & Lunch at Soumah Wines

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.

03:00 P.M:Wine Tastings at Yering Farm Wines

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.

04:00 P.M:Optional visit to Four Pillars Gin Distillery, Coldstream Brewery or Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery

For our 4th stop, you can choose between a visit to the Local Gin Distillery, Brewery, or Chocolaterie.

Treat yourself to a true Australian Craft Gin or a fresh brew of craft beer & cider at Four Pillars Gin Distillery & Coldstream Brewery.

Had enough to drink for one day? Feel free to indulge your sweet tooth in a freshly made batch of artisanal chocolates, pastries & desserts at the Yarra Vallery Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery before heading back home.

    HALEY W.Had an amazing experience with Ami Tours!! The unique thing about this company is the attention they give to smaller wineries, which are thoughtfully chosen to give what I think is a more authentic experience of Yarra Valley. We had a blast! Would do it again.
  • Customer Review - Amber T.
    AMBER T.This was such a fun wine tour! The tour guide we had (Ami) was so fun and knew so much about the valley. He took us to 3 beautiful winery’s and each one had a beautiful tasting and pleasant experience. Highly recommend this tour. Oh and the lunch was delicious!
  • Customer Review - Kristie T.
    KRISTIE T.My friends and I LOVED your 'Cheeky Vino' tour of Yarra Valley.

    Ami was a fantastic guide. Thanks to him, we discovered a great vineyard that I would have passed on if it wasn't on the tour. Yileena Park was a gem!

    We had snacks, and lunch, and the bus was packed with water and stuff. They even had vegan options for two of my friends that were vegan. I really can't think of anything I would change, it was such an amazing time! Thank you!! 5 stars for sure
