ESSENTIAL PRIVATE YARRA VALLEY WINE TOUR
All wine tastings are INCLUDED in the price of this PACKAGE TOUR.
Who is this option for?
ESSENTIAL – is THREE KOALAS’ newest PACKAGE tour and it is very similar to our ever-popular INCLUSIVE wine tour with a big difference – we do not lock you in pre-booked set lunch menu options.
Yes, we will book a lunch venue for you, however, you will be able to select there what exactly you would like to order and how much you are going to spend on your lunch. Or you can take your picnic with you instead. Or just order shared cheese/charcuterie boards at one of the wineries. Or you can go without lunch altogether…
On the ESSENTIAL package, this is entirely up to you.
To give you an idea of the shared pizzas lunch you can have on the ESSENTIAL package, here is one of the current menus as an example.
13″ Neapolitan Pizza Style – It is 32 cm pie (Extra Large size by Domino’s classification)
It is more than enough for 1 very hungry man, possibly not quite enough for 2, but 2 of these pizzas will be absolutely enough for 3 people.
As an example, if you are a group of 10 people, you can safely order 6-7 of those pizzas and have a very filling shared lunch indeed…
