✨ From Countryside Charm to Flemington Elegance – Two Perfect Days in Victoria ✨

After the excitement of the Melbourne Cup, our travellers enjoyed a day designed entirely for choice — whether that meant a leisurely pace, scenic indulgence, or racing thrills.

🍷 Wine enthusiasts explored the Yarra Valley, tasting fine wines at Helen & Joey Estate, historic St Hubert’s, and Fergusson Winery - where a relaxed grazing lunch capped off a day of indulgence.

🐎 Racing fans kept the momentum alive at the Kyneton Cup, soaking up the friendly country racing atmosphere, while others visited Living Legends to meet retired champions like Brew, Efficient, and Apache Cat - a heartwarming highlight for horse lovers.

Then came Crown Oaks Day - a celebration of fashion, fun, and phenomenal racing at Flemington! 💐
Our group embraced the colour and creativity of Ladies Day, enjoying another spectacular day at the track before gathering for a special farewell evening - sharing stories, laughter, and a toast to an unforgettable Melbourne Cup experience.

🎩 From boutique wineries to country racing, from Flemington flair to heartfelt goodbyes - it’s been a tour to remember!
