Melbourne is known around the world for its café culture and culinary scene that rivals any global capital. From rooftop bars to hole-in-the-wall espresso joints, it’s a city built for the curious and the hungry.
But what many visitors don’t realise is that just an hour outside the city lies another reason Melbourne is a dream destination—its world-class wine regions.
Looking For A Melbourne Wine Tasting Experience?
The Yarra Valley is home to some of Australia’s finest vineyards, where rolling hills meet cellar doors, and cool-climate wines rival anything you’ll taste in France or California. The best part? You don’t need a car, a group or a complicated itinerary. With Red Carpet Wine Tours, you can book a single day and be tasting award-winning Pinot Noir and Chardonnay by lunch.
This is Melbourne beyond the city. Wine country without the hassle. A full sensory escape and it is so easy to access when you have a wine touring company like Redcarpet Wine Tours who can give you a day to remember!
