Choose the right kind of day
Food leads.
Wine comes with it.
The Makers’ Circuit packages the day as progressive dining. Here is what that means when comparing food and wine experiences.
The meal connects the stops
The meal unfolds through an opening course, a long lunch and a closing dessert or cheese tasting, depending on the region. Food is central to each stop, with wine or a matched drink alongside it.
A private group
The Yarra Valley circuit accommodates one to six guests, with no other party added. Private does not mean exclusive use of each restaurant.
Transport brought together
Pickup from a central Melbourne point and transport between venues are included. Ask Mirna about specific pickup and return requirements before booking.
Compare the details, not only the label
Wine tours differ widely and some offer private, premium arrangements. Check the actual meal, group size, transport, access and price. Our guide to choosing a food and wine experience sets out the questions to ask.
Good to know
Your questions, answered.
How is a Makers’ Circuit experience different from a wine tour?
Progressive dining puts the meal at the centre of the experience. You move between venues for different parts of the meal, understanding the region through its food as well as its wine. Each experience page sets out the itinerary and inclusions so you can compare what matters to you.
What is included in the experience?
Dining and transport are brought together in one booking. The venues, courses, drinks and cellar visits are described on each experience page, along with the full price and practical arrangements.
Will we join other guests?
Each experience is booked privately for your own party, with no other guests added. Group sizes are listed on the individual experience page. A private booking does not mean exclusive use of the restaurants.
