Around the Bay: Day Trip from Melbourne with Food & Wine Tastings

About
Walk along the picturesque Geelong Waterfront for some authentic Aussie history and fresh sea air, savor two wine tastings with stunning views before lunching like a local at a top vineyard. Then, grab some scones and tea while you prepare to sail along the bay for a bit of dolphin spotting…
… If all of that sounds pretty good so far, this is the tour for you.
Did we mention a visit to a craft brewery and beer garden, and a ride on the state-of-the-art Arthurs Seat Gondola where you can spot local wildlife and get a bird’s-eye view of Melbourne? You’ll also get to take some snapshots of the iconic bathing boxes, a colorful photo opportunity to let everyone know you’ve been there and done that.
