Drive the Yarra Valley yourself, with a GPS audio guide that plays automatically as you go. Your booking unlocks the whole region in the free Wine Trails app: pick your date and starting point — Healesville, Coldstream, Yarra Glen, Seville, or straight out of Melbourne — choose the cellar doors you want, and the app builds your personal route with turn-by-turn narration. 85 stories cover 63 cellar doors and the people behind them: as you pass Yering Station you'll hear how the Ryrie brothers planted Victoria's first vines on this riverbank in 1838, and how Paul de Castella later bought the run and made it famous, taking a grand prix at the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle. No group, no schedule, no guide — pause for a long lunch in Healesville, replay anything, and the audio keeps working when the signal drops through the Upper Yarra. You'll need a car and a designated driver; tastings are booked and paid directly with the wineries.

Your guide meets you at Gordon Reserve at 11am, learns what your group eats and what you don't, then builds the route from there.

The venues shift, but the format stays consistent: hand-folded dumplings, Michelin-starred yum cha, regional Chinese street food, oysters, soft cheeses, Indian dhai puri, and one drink at a top-tier laneway bar or cellar door. Non-alcoholic options available. Groups are capped at eight, giving your guide time for questions and the stories behind each stop, including how immigration and laneways shaped Melbourne into a food capital. This is built to be your lunch, so come hungry. We accommodate vegetarians and religious dietary requirements. Built for adventurous eaters. Wear comfortable shoes for two to three kilometres.
