Local Tips To Know
Bookings recommended for tastings and platters at both stops, especially weekends.
Designated driver essential – this is a great trail for smaller groups and couples who enjoy lingering over wine and platters.
Dogs – Welcome in the designated outdoor area at Kellybrook; check current pet info when booking.
Use Warrandyte & Surrounds as your ‘gateway day’ before a longer stay deeper into the Yarra, or as a Sunday wind down after a busier wine weekend.
Visit both wineries and the village in a relaxed full day, or
Choose just one winery + the river for a slower half day.
