subject: Valley Of The Wine Gods [print this page] Australia is a country that is unique in many ways. It is also the only continent that has a capital. Geographically speaking too, it is unique in the sense that the country has a huge desert in the middle with cities and counties surrounding the desert. It also has the distinction of offering its visitors a very unique collection of flora and fauna. Most of the animals found on this island continent cannot be found anywhere else in the world.This country is also known as the land of the marsupials, which are animals that carry their young either in pouches or on their backs for the duration of the young ones life till they are old enough to venture on their own.
Another unique thing is the wine and the tours that are based on the wining theme, which has its roots in this country. The Yarra Valley winery tours are organized daily. Passengers get the chance to visit four to five of the local wineries and also have an opportunity to enjoy a gourmet lunch at the winerys restaurant. One of the best things about these tours is that the itinerary is not set in stone and is open to suggestion either by the passengers undertaking the tour or the hosts themselves.
The passengers are taken on the tour in a mini bus in a group size of 8 pax per tour. This ensures that each of the guest gets personalized attention when they are on the tour. These wine tours originate from Melbourne, Australia and is a day long tour. The guests can enjoy the ride from Melbourne to the Yarra Valley which is situated at an hour long driving distance from Melbourne. Although most of the wineries do not charge a tasting fee, the passengers are advised by the operator to check with them so that they can be prepared mentally and otherwise.
In addition to the wine tours from Melbourne, Australia there is a new addition that is planned at the time of the year when spring blossoms and the air is rich with varied fragrances.This could also help whet their appetite for the wine as well as for scrumptious food that is served at the winery restaurant.
