Example Day Out
Wine Compass’ Premium wine tours are perfect for wine lovers and collectors, sommeliers and wine students. Even if your exposure to wine tasting is minimal, this will take you to the next level. Here are some examples of the premium, behind-the-scenes style features you can expect on your tour with us.
Example stop: Barrel tasting
Compare a ‘work in progress’ with the finished product through a barrel tasting and winery tour. Here you’ll get to try wine straight from the barrel, and later sample the bottled beauty to see the differences a bit of time and final processing can have.
Example stop: tasting and tour in the vines
Depending on the weather, a tour and tasting amongst the vines is a perfect opportunity to learn more about the planting and harvesting process that goes into achieving that perfect yield.
Example stop: Private tasting
Stop by another premium winery, where you’ll be able to taste more spectacular wines with a highly engaging and personal experience.
Example stop: Gourmet lunch
After whetting your palate, a lunch stop is on the cards. Wine Compass offers many gourmet options through our Premium Wine Tours, from more casual but scenic picnics through to 3 course formal dining.
Other options
We have many other types of stops available too including:
- Distilleries

Why Mornington Peninsula or Yarra Valley?
Check out our Mornington Peninsula Premium Tours and Yarra Valley Premium Tours
Victoria is home to two world-class wine regions with remarkably high production and quality overall. The Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley are both cool climate regions, and as such are renowned for offering top Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. As well as that, the Peninsula region pioneered Pinot Gris/Grigio in Australia, and is notable for producing outstanding cool-climate Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc, Sangiovese, Friulano, Muscat, and many other dessert wines.
The Yarra Valley particularly shines with a number of white varieties, too, including Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, as well as a slightly warmer climate for Shiraz and Cabernet. Both regions produce outstanding sparkling wine made from traditional blends.
