This afternoon in the Yarra Valley is built around what people remember: a glass of sparkling wine at Chandon, and a kangaroo experience at sunset we're confident enough to guarantee.

Children aged 2 and up are welcome, with hot chocolate or coffee and time with the farm's sheep for younger guests. Back in Melbourne by early evening.
