Private Wine Tour Event (Quick Overview)

Incredible views, wonderful activities and delicious wine - what's not to love?! But what more can you expect from this activity? An exclusive private wine tour will provide private shuttle buses or tour vehicles with your very own tour guide. The WHOLE experience will be hosted and coordinated for your group, meaning less planning and more fun for you! Throughout the experience, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the different wineries in your area, the stunning scenery (such as rolling hills, shady trees and large open spaces), some fun games and activities, and the chance to learn, taste, create memories and have fun. Best of all though? Not only do private wine tours cater to bachelorette parties, but also to corporate events, birthdays and other special occasions. Meaning there's ALWAYS a good time to wine ;)

​Why a Private Wine Tour?

When you think of a hen party, it's all about having fun, enjoying good company, creating new memories, sharing new experiences, exploring local vineyards and, as a bonus, it involves fine wines - right?

With private tours, you can expect all of this and more!

Hosted and coordinated from start to finish, all the leg work will be done for you. Meaning, as an organiser, there is very little for you to do. Just confirm your numbers and let your tour operator know what you'd like included to suit the group budget.

What to Expect Whilst on a Private Wine Tour

​
DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE
The door-to-door service will take you winery hopping where you can enjoy scenic views and wine tastings at popular and boutique wineries.



YOUR OWN DRIVER & TOUR VEHICLE
You get your own driver and exclusive access to the tour vehicle; no sharing with other groups. The hosted packages are there to facilitate the day for you and are always available to take group photos if you wish. 

TASTINGS, ACTIVITIES & VIEWS
There will be so much to sample and so many ways to add colour to your day! In the Yarra Valley, for example, cheese, chocolate, scrumptious foods, make your own flower crown classes, sweeping views and many photo opportunities are all available.



A WHOLE LOT OF FUN!
With everything behind the scenes taken care of for you (such as coordinating venue bookings, calculating travel time between venues, and planning the itinerary to your criteria), all you have to do is be ready for the fun at pick up time!

Friends with Dietary Requirements?

Not a problem! Your tour company can assist in organising the finer details to make sure everyone is catered for and does not miss out on the fun. Just let your host know before the event if anyone in the group is vegan, vegetarian, pregnant or has food intolerances.

Our goal is to accommodate everyone, and we find that passing on all relevant information to the wineries is important for a smooth day out.

Add Some Unexpected 'Wow' Factor to Your Day!

How about having your Hen's event captured from the sky? That's right, drone video and photography! Long after the day is over, re-live the highlights with a takeaway video clip which is offered by Nep, a licenced drone operator at 'Kangaroo Hopping Tours'! 

Make it Memorable

The hen's day is the second notable event before the wedding day. It's a day where you let your hair down, get to know the closest people of the bride, share secrets, laugh from the belly and have the best time!

Make it memorable with offerings from the Yarra Valley (or, if you're in another state/country, the closest wine region) and the people that are there to facilitate it all. No matter what the group size or budget is, you are guaranteed to have an amazing time!
