Ferieboliger i Victoria

Enjoy a fun and relaxed day of exploring our favourite venues in the Yarra Valley on this full day tour. We’ll pick you and other guests up from your accommodation in the Yarra Valley or at Lilydale Train Station (if coming from Melbourne) so you don’t have to drive! **Itinerary may change depending on availability during restrictions** First stop is Yering Station, Victoria's historic first winery. We'll start the day with a tasting of the elegant cool climate wines including their classic sparkling wine (don’t call it Champagne!). Next stop is Yering Farm winery set in a rustic cellar door in an old hay shed where we will sample a variety of wines including some big reds and apple cider! Over lunchtime we will visit Healesville township with ample time to explore the picture perfect village with it’s wine bars, distilleries and burger joints and a variety of lunch options to suit all budgets. *lunch is not included in the tour price. After lunch we’ll scoot back into the rolling hills and visit Rochford winery with it’s wide variety of quality wines which we will sample followed by time to visit the gift shop. Our last stop is the Napoleone Cider Bar surrounded by an apple orchard where each couple will receive a cider tasting paddle and a decadent cider cocktail (or beer)! Relax, enjoy the view! You’ll then be dropped back to your pickup point between 4.30- 5.30pm

We'll first tour the organic mini-farm and focus on its unique features - how the garden and animals are organised and integrated using permaculture thinking. We'll talk about how chooks, goats and pigs can all be used for various purposes on a self-sufficient property, and how a wide variety of organic veggie, berry and fruit crops can be positioned, rotated and grown. Then we'll get hands-on with seed sowing, planting and soil cultivation. You'll learn great techniques to grow organic veggies, berries and fruits - how to make compost and enrich your soil organically, how to cultivate and weed efficiently, how to time your plantings, and how to raise plants from seed to advanced seedlings before planting to make the most of your garden space. We'll finish by learning how to milk a goat, which is a fun thing to try and also a handy skill if you're considering becoming more self-sufficient one day. Lunch is provided as part of the workshop, which you can eat in at our cafe Home Grown on Piper cafe in Kyneton, which features healthy, tasty dishes made with organic, ethical produce from our farm and other local producers. You can pick and purchase some organic produce, seeds or seedlings for your garden at the end of the workshop. The aim is to inspire you in your own garden, so you'll feel confident to take the seeds or seedlings home and grow them successfully yourself!

Join me in discovering Melbourne's neighborhood markets from a local’s perspective. Learn how the markets are unique to our city with my own personal insight, interact with the vendors I have hand-picked and taste their mouth-watering local produce. We start at centrally located Southern Cross station and depending on the day we may visit the Queen Victoria Market, the largest open-air market in the Southern Hemisphere, or the city's oldest market, South Melbourne Market. All of these markets showcase our multi-cultural society and boast a history and importance to Melbourne's local way of life. We will take the tram to the market, unhurriedly introducing each vendor, who explains the passion behind their food and a rare insight into their history, all with plenty of samples to match the enthusiasm. After reveling in the buzz of the markets, learning the history, we end with a drink or delicious Gelato where we will happily give you plenty of recommendations to enjoy the rest of your stay in Melbourne..(along with a full belly) Other things to note Depending on the market of the day a MYKI transport card may be required. We suggest wait until the day and if required the guide will advise how to buy. The cost isapprox $15 for a card and day pass
