The wedding day will soon be here but WAIT! There’s one crucial thing that needs to happen, the last Hurrah for the bride to be…The Hens Party!
What better way to celebrate the transition from Miss to Mrs than with a day of fun and decadence? The Hens Party has a special place in the journey to the wedding day, and at Yarra Valley Wineries, we believe you should have “Your Day, Your Way!”

Our 1st stop is Yering Station, Yarra Valley’s first & most famous family vineyard. Yering Station is a state-of-the art creation that manages to combine style and sophistication with traditional, age-old wine making techniques.
At the Cellar Door, the technical term for the wine-tasting area, you can try 15 styles of wine. And if you’re wondering what the heck your guide is on about when he asks you if you can taste the freshly mown grass in your Cabernet Franc, or the hint of smoky tobacco in your Shiraz, fear not! The guides are skilled wine experts, on-hand to provide a bit of palate training should it be required.
12:00 P.M | Gourmet Lunch & Wine Tastings at Soumah Wines
Enjoy a tutored tasting & a sumptuous gourmet lunch at Soumah Wines, our 2nd stop for the day.
Known for their award-winning Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this hidden gem is located down a county lane in the dress circle Warramate foothills of the Yarra Valley, offering visitors spectacular views of the vineyard and the surrounding Warramate Hills.
03:00 P.M | Wine tastings at Sutherland Estate
Sutherland Estate has one of the most spectacular vineyard sites in Australia.
Sutherland Estate is a family-owned, boutique enterprise in the heart of the premium, cool climate wine-growing region of the Yarra Valley. Varieties planted include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, with small parcels of Gewurztraminer and Tempranillo.
The wines have received immediate acclaim since the first entry into James Halliday’s 2005 wine companion.
Built onto the side of Daniel’s Hill, the cellar door enjoys panoramic views across the Yarra Valley to the Dandenong and Warburton Ranges.
04:00 P.M | Visit to Four Pillars Gin Distillery or Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery
