Private Macedon Ranges Wine Tours From Melbourne

This is private chauffeur transport for your own group, not a shared coach tour. The vehicle and itinerary are arranged around your booking, with pickup and return in Melbourne.

The quote covers the agreed car and chauffeur, Melbourne pickup and return, planned stops and booked waiting period. Check the itinerary and inclusions on your confirmation before accepting. Changes to the route or duration need to be agreed.

No. You pay separately for tastings, meals, wine purchases, entry fees and other paid experiences. CLM supplies the vehicle and chauffeur, rather than an all-inclusive winery package.

Yes. Send your date, pickup suburb or hotel, group size and preferred return time. Tell us any wineries you are considering, or say you have not decided. The final itinerary and price are confirmed once the stops and timing are agreed.

You arrange reservations directly with the wineries and restaurant. Ask about group size, tasting duration, dietary needs, deposits and cancellation terms. Share the reservation times with CLM before the transport booking is finalised.

Allow for both journeys from and back to Melbourne, each tasting, lunch and travel between wineries. Tell us when you need to be home so we can work backwards from your return time. The first cellar door and pickup address determine the outward driving time; there is no single travel time for the whole region.

For an unhurried starting plan, consider two tastings and lunch, then ask whether another nearby stop fits. This is a planning suggestion, not a guaranteed package. Longer tasting appointments, extra Melbourne pickups and a distant lunch venue reduce the time available for additional wineries.

Yes, for the waiting period included in your private day-tour booking. Your chauffeur takes you between the agreed stops and back to Melbourne. If lunch or a tasting runs late, contact the chauffeur; additional time must be agreed and is not unlimited.

Yes. Include every pickup address and the number of passengers at each stop. We allow for those collections before the first tasting. You can request a different Melbourne return address when planning the booking.

Tell us the total passengers, luggage and likely wine purchases. Sedans suit smaller parties; people movers suit groups travelling together. Ask about minibus availability for a larger party. The team confirms capacity for the actual vehicle, so do not assume every model carries the same number of people or bags.

Tell us the airport, flight arrival, luggage and first reservation before committing to a same-day itinerary. We assess the time available for arrival formalities and the journey to the Macedon Ranges. If the timing is too tight, arrange the airport journey separately and keep the winery visit for another day.

Yes. A mixed group can plan scenery and lunch alongside the cellar doors. Rear-facing capsules or seats, forward-facing seats and boosters are available by arrangement. SUVs fit up to two child seats and vans up to four, subject to configuration. Send children’s ages and sizes, passengers and luggage so we can confirm the vehicle, seat availability and any charges. Check the chosen venues’ admission rules; non-drinkers need not purchase a tasting.

Contact CLM as soon as your plans change so we can check availability and any price adjustment. Cancellations within 72 hours are non-refundable. Winery and restaurant bookings have their own separate terms. No credit-card fees apply to your CLM booking.
