Highlights

Experience regional Victoria with the locals, as we uncover silo art,
riverside heritage, native animals, and elegant wine on this full-day tour
from Melbourne.


Begin your day with a barista-made coffee at the Arts Centre before heading
north, and arriving into the lake-side township of Nagambie. Take some time to
stretch your legs and refuel before we enter the river region of Victoria.


Arriving into the Kyabram Fauna Park, be greeted by a local ranger who will
provide an intro to the park and a guided talk on our resident Koalas. You'll
then have plenty of time to wander through bushland-style enclosures and
observe kangaroos, emus, koalas, and more in a natural setting.


Step back in time as we arrive into the historic Port Town of Echuca. This
charming village is charming river port town on the Murray River, known for
its 19th-century wharf, paddle steamers, and preserved heritage buildings that
reflect its vital role in Australia's inland trade era. Take some time to
explore and get some lunch, before boarding the PS (Paddle Steamer) Canberra
for a relaxing one-hour cruise along the Murray River, complete with captain’s
commentary.


Travelling through the agricultural heartland of Victoria, witness as the
scenery changes around you from eucalypt forests, to the wide expanse of
farmland, to rows upon rows of Vineyards. We stop for a chance to view the
iconic painted Silos of Rochester.


End the day with a guided wine tasting at our favourite Heathcote winery,
where vineyard views and award-winning wines await. We arrive back into
Melbourne at approximately 6.30pm.


With our Premium Travel Comfort Guarantee, this journey offers a relaxed,
well-rounded escape for travellers seeking a deeper connection with regional
Victoria.
