Taste of Melbourne

Upon arrival at Melbourne Airport, you will be met by a local representative for a private transfer to your hotel. The remainder of the day is at your leisure.

Like nothing else, Melbourne loves to eat! Meet your driver/guide at your hotel to experience the culinary diversity of some of the city’s oldest and most vibrant migrant neighborhoods. Meet the makers, taste the treats and learn how the collision of old and new worlds shapes your culinary experience. Don’t worry; your friendly local guide will see you get back to your hotel safely, no matter how deep the food coma!

Today you have the option of taking one of the most scenic drives in Australia, along the Great Ocean Road, or soaring above the idyllic Yarra Valley at sunrise in a hot air balloon. Your drive along the Great Ocean Road will allow you views of many of the major coastal highlights of Melbourne. Your journey will conclude with a helicopter ride where you will gain a unique perspective of great landmarks such as the Twelve Apostles. Early risers will love the opportunity to float gently over Yarra Valley as the sun ascends in the sky followed by a decadent champagne breakfast at a nearby chateau. Spend the remainder of your afternoon visiting wineries in the Valley and sampling some of Australia’s top wines.
