Take a hike in the stunning Dandenong Ranges and explore Victoria’s famous Yarra Valley.
We embark on an easy to moderate 6.6km hike in the Eastern Sherbrooke Forest through towering Mountain Ash trees and wetland ferns. Keep your eyes open for lyrebirds, wombats, wallabies, and echidnas that call the forest home.
Next up, we pull into one of Yarra Valley’s favourite wineries, YarraWood Estate, for lunch. There's plenty of time for wine tasting too if you choose. After lunch, we skip over the road to visit craft beer brewery Matilda Bay, before jumping back in the van to visit the lads at Payten & Jones for more good wine and great tunes.
We top the day off with a visit to Four Pillars, a small craft distillery (that's been named the world's leading gin producer two years in a row) before hitting the road and returning to Melbourne.
Tastings at Yarrawood Estate and Four Pillars Gin Distillery are included.
