Quick answer
The Yarra Valley is roughly an hour from Melbourne, so you can start late and still fit in three or four cellar doors and a long lunch. A chauffeur means everyone can taste, you set the pace and your purchases are carried for you.
The Yarra Valley is close enough for a relaxed day trip and known for cool-climate wines such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, along with cheese, chocolate and gin.
