Journey Overview
We are assuming with this itinerary that you are based in Melbourne – but if not, we can add flights into this itinerary for you.
Melbourne city is located approximately 40 minutes from the airport, and Crown Towers is located right in the heart of the city. Melbourne is such a beautiful place to explore the laneways, with it’s artistic paintings and artworks, and has some incredible shopping. Oh and the food is amazing! Then head to Chateau Yering in the Yarra Valley, a very opulent hotel.
So many of our favourite wineries are in this area. And if you like cheese, well you’ll be happy with the itinerary we’ve put together to say the least!
