What To Expect
Healesville Sanctuary
Home to more than 200 species of Australian native animals and set amidst natural bushland, the Healesville Sanctuary is the ideal place to observe our iconic wildlife up close. An enhancement to the visit is a Kangaroo Encounter where you have the opportunity with a keeper to feed and pat these adorable animals (if the animal allows). A Koala Encounter is also available but there's no touching or feeding involved, just an opportunity to get some amazing up close pictures. An additional fee applies for these encounters . Please advise if you wish to book this.
2 hours • Admission Ticket Included
Yering Station
You'll enjoy a tasting of estate and reserve wines in the historic cellar door before adjourning to the modern light filled restaurant for an a la carte, main course meal, glass of wine and coffee.

De Bortoli Winery
Set on more than 450 acres of vineyard clad hills, the visit to the De Bortoli Vineyard is a terrific end to the day. The wine tasting includes their estate and premium wines together with their iconic dessert wine, Noble One. The tasting is enhanced with a pairing of selected cheeses.

Trip was fantastic and well-coordinated with ample time on board. Thumbs up to the tour guide which he has clearly articulate his speeches.
Fantastic day tour

The tour went really well. We really appreciate how well everything was organised, from the booking process to the communication and the tour itself. Tour guide and driver Rob is really nice and provided lots of interesting information during the tour.
Excellent day tour

A very well planned trip to 2 vineyards including the Yering Station where the lunch was served. Afterwards a guided tour through Healelsville Sanctuary was just amazing and we were so fortunate so see the bird show and all other animals so close. The driver Rob was super informative and interesting person. Great day to hang out with amazing people and taste so many different wines.
The ultimate wine and animal sanctuary tour

Our day with Shane was beyond exceptional. His knowledge of Melbourne and the Yarra valley was shared in abundance. He was considerate & pleasant while maintaining and professionalism. The 2 wineries we were at were given tasting and wine / cheese pairings were amazing. The Healsville Animal Sanctuary was very educational and the volunteer guide, David, that Shane arranged for us explained the Sanctuary’s focus to us. Overall I can’t say enough good things about Shane and this tour!! Highly recommend.
Lovely day tour

Had the best time on the Wineries & Healesville Sanctuary tour. The wineries were beautiful, and it was very pleasant to see and take in the breathtaking views. I gained so much new insight in wine and the region itself during the tour. And the tour around Healesville Sanctuary was really fun and insightful. The volunteers at Healesville gave us a lot of knowledge about the Australian wildlife that they had in the sanctuary. Our guide Rob was very kind and generous, and he’s also a really good storyteller. We had a lovely time talking to him. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne, and would love to connect with Vinetrekker again when I go back to Australia next time
Perfect Day.

This experience is a little more expensive than many of the winery tours on offer and for good reason. It’s a small group experience with private rooms allocated at the wineries for your tasting experiences. This experience showcased 2 wineries. DeBortoli where we had an excellent wine and cheese pairing tasting followed by Yering Station for another wine tasting followed by a delicious lunch with amazing views of the Yarra Valley from the restaurant.
We were then taken to Healesville Sanctuary for the remainder of the afternoon for a leisurely stroll seeing koalas, kangaroos and Tasmania Devils which included a really informative Keeper talk. There is another tour option which incorporates a further 3 wineries instead of the sanctuary if that is your preference.
Our gracious host, Paul then came to collect us for the journey back to Melbourne.
A wonderful day with a great group of people from all around the world.
