We checked out Yarra Valley this time and had a great day tour led by Orson of Australian Wine Tour Company. Orson made it plenty of fun and really knew his stuff so we came out of the day having learnt more than the usual tour and having a hell of a lot of fun at the same time.

First up we visited Domaine Chandon which is a gorgeous winery with a very nice Sparkling Rose’ and then over to Rochford’s Winery for more tastings and some lunch. Lunch was on par, but the wines where great.

After lunch it was over to Yering Station and then Yering Farm, both nice wineries, but pretty much just more of the usual.

Still, it was probably our most enjoyable wine tour to date, so well done Orson, you where awesome. Sorry, couldn’t help it.
