Accommodation Pick Up
Hop Hen Brewery (1hr)
We kick off our adventure at Hop Hen Brewery, a small brewer in Lilydale with a really cool fitout. Built in 2016 in the industrial area of Lilydale, Mike & Jodie do a wonderful job with a huge array of beers to taste! A real fun place where there is often live music and their famous bingo nights, Hop Hen is the ideal starting point to get the wheels in motion!
Coldstream Brewery (2hrs)
We’ll make our way to the Coldstream Brewery, where the magic of craft beer and cider collide. Here, you’ll taste a range of up to 6 ciders & beers brewed with passion with local ingredients. It’s the perfect spot for those who love a bit of variety in their tasting experience. After the tasting, we will sit down to a big pub lunch + welcome drink.
Meletos Brewery (45mins)
Our next stop is the renowned Meletos (say it like “Stillettos”), who although well known for their restaurant, they can brew a bloody good beer! From lagers, to Pilsners, to IPA, they have something suit all taste buds. This 5-star venue is great to relax all the while soaking in the beautiful views of the Yarra Valley.
Watts River Brewery (45mins)
Our next stop is the renowned Meletos (say it like “Stillettos”), who although well known for their restaurant, they can brew a bloody good beer!
