Just for you and your dog – a private VIP full-day wine tour of all the Yarra Valley’s finest pet-friendly cellar doors.

This is Pooches and Pinot’s fabulous full-day tour which includes a sumptuous lunch at Healesville’s best pet-friendly cafe. Pooches and Pinot offer a door-to-door service (free pick up within the Yarra Valley and at a pro-rata fee for addresses up to 75 kilometres away) and collect you with your pooch, drive you out to the best pup-friendly wineries, pay for all your wine, gin, cider and beer tastings, and pick up the tab for lunch too.

Your hound(s) (up to two dogs that know each other) will be looked after like royalty, fed gorgeous treats and given a hand-embroidered bandana, and they’ll be adored in each cellar door. Pooches and Pinot will fit in a walk somewhere beautiful too so your pup can run off lead and sniff out all those great new smells, making friends and enjoying some country air.

Works beautifully for a couple, a group of friends or the family – the Mercedes touring van seats up to six people, and two dogs.

Picture this – you and your dog, on a VIP half-day mid-week private wine tasting tour of the stunning Yarra Valley – honestly, what’s not to love?

The half-day tour is offered mid-week and is perfect if you are time-poor. Choose a morning or afternoon tour to work in with your itinerary – why not, it’s your tour, there is no one else to consider.

You and your pup will be collected from your accommodation or private address, and visit up to three/four of the region’s best dog-friendly wineries, breweries and distilleries for wine/gin/beer/cider tastings. If time allows they will add in a visit to a gorgeous local deli before returning you to your accommodation. It is a fantastic way to experience the region with your doggo by your side while letting someone else do the planning, the bookings, the driving etc.

The half-day tours don’t include lunch, so you will want to make separate arrangements for that. Inclusive of all tastings, a bandana and delicious gourmet doggy treats.

Foodie lovers, treat yourselves to the Progressive Degustation Wine Tour, which includes being collected from your accommodation, or private address, and whisked off to cellar doors where each wine tasting is matched with amazing food – think butter croissants and danishes at your first stop, charcuterie with matched wine, local cheese to sample and a three-course lunch with matched wine.

Just for you and your dog – this private wine tour is high-end and exclusive and visits the Yarra Valley’s finest pet-friendly cellar doors.

This is Pooches and Pinot’s all-singing, all-dancing tour and won’t put your hand in your pocket all day long (unless you simply have to buy some of the sensation wines you’ll get to try).

Your hound(s) (up to two dogs that know each other) will be looked after like royalty and adored at every cellar door you visit – plus they’ll be right there next to you at lunch, or taken off for a wander with the tour guide if they get restless – it’s VIP all the way.

Suits a couple, or friends (up to seven) with up to two dogs.

Fun for all the Family – on a Full Day Tour.

This private guided tour of the best the Yarra Valley has to offer takes all the worry out of planning what to do with your family in the region. You get to help build your itinerary, as it’s just for your family, and your local tour guide will then collect you from your accommodation and accompany you at each venue to ensure you see, taste, and experience the Yarra Valley’s highlights all tailored to your family – all your tickets, entry fees, tastings, meals, and drinks are included as part of your tour, so you can just sit back and enjoy a fun-filled day with none of the responsibility. You even get dropped back to your accommodation at the end of your tour, it’s VIP all the way.

If you have your dog with you, he/she will be looked after by your tour guide (and they’ll go for a wonderful walk) while you’re enjoying Healesville Sanctuary, and from lunch onwards you’ll all be together for the rest of your tour – it really is a personalised tour the whole family can enjoy.
