Yarra Valley Wine & Chocolate Experience

Sample Fine Vintages and Make Your Own Chocolate Bar Journey to the picturesque Yarra Valley for a tailor-made tasting experience with knowledgeable enthusiasts. Embark on a scenic drive to Rochford Winery and gain an insider’s view of a busy working vineyard. View the estate’s operation and taste the wine directly from the tanks in the cellar before they are bottled. Afterward, settle down for a delicious two-course lunch with wine pairing from the Single Vineyard Range. Next, you will head to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice-Creamery to sample a variety of artisan chocolates, including the Bush Tucker Range—a unique offering featuring flavors that have been "wild" harvested. Create your own chocolate bar using local ingredients, then head to your final stop of the day for a walk through a food forest brimming with edible and medicinal plants from around the world. After learning about their benefits, return to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
