Itinerary:

Yarra Valley Accommodation or Lilydale Train Station Pick Up

First Stop: Cooking with Chef Anna Psaila in Al Dente Restuarant at Billanook Estate
We’ll kick things off with a pick-up from your Yarra Valley accommodation, and head straight to Billanook Estate for an exciting morning with head chef Anna Psaila at Al Dente. Here, you’ll roll up your sleeves and learn how to make Italian classics from scratch—think pastas, pizzas, and desserts, all using fresh Yarra Valley produce. After all the cooking, you’ll sit down to enjoy the 3-course feast you helped create—what could be better than that? (Oh wait, maybe a glass of wine to wash it down!)

Second Stop: Yarra Valley Dairy
Next, we’ll head to the Yarra Valley Dairy, home of delicious artisan cheeses made in a 100-year-old milking shed. We’ll enjoy a tasting session of their finest cheeses, and then you’ll have time to explore their range of homewares and local produce, or simply relax and sip wine while watching the cows pass by. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and savour the flavours of the valley.

Third Stop: Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice-Creamery
No food tour is complete without something sweet, so we’ll finish off our adventure with a visit to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice-Creamery. Here, you’ll indulge in one last tasting session, featuring decadent chocolates that are the ultimate treat after a day of feasting.
