We start around 8.45am and travel through the bush laden north-eastern suburbs to the world-famous Healesville Sanctuary, one of Australia's most recognised and acclaimed wildlife sanctuaries. With 30 hectares of bushland, it showcases more than 200 species of Australian wildlife in a distinctly Australian setting. Here, visitors can experience close-up encounters with some of Australia's most unique and captivating wildlife in their natural habitat, including koalas, kangaroos, wombats, emus, dingoes, birds of prey and platypus.
We then travel to Victoria's first vineyard, Yering Station, for a pre-lunch wine-tasting in the original redbrick winery (circa 1859) building surrounded by local artworks and produce. Lunch is a short walk away through landscaped gardens in a stunning contemporary building with world-class views and cuisine.
The day concludes at the De Bortoli Vineyard where a tasting of their estate wines is matched to some complimentary cheeses.
