Win: A Luxurious Day at Yarra Valley’s Oakridge Wines – With Helicopter Transfers and Lunch for Four
You and three mates can experience one of Australia’s best wineries with a private tour, wine masterclass, four-course long lunch and more.
A day trip to the Yarra Valley is a classic activity over summer. It’s just an hour’s drive from Melbourne – or a 25-minute flight via helicopter. And as far as must-visit wineries go, Oakridge Wines is always high on the list.
The winery is famous for its pinot noirs and chardonnays, but its fine-dining restaurant is just as much a drawcard. New head chef Daniel Snooks has recently revamped the menu and is celebrating locally grown produce from the kitchen garden and nearby farmers.
Keen to go? We’ve teamed up with Oakridge to give one lucky Broadsheet reader and three friends the chance to win a luxurious, all-day experience at the winery – valued at $6400.
You’ll be travelling via return helicopter transfers from Melbourne. Once you land at Oakridge, you’ll tour its famed 864 vineyards. If you’re visiting in summer, your tour will include a hands-on, chef-led kitchen garden experience. In winter, expect a cosy barrel-tasting in the winery.
Next is a private, in-depth wine masterclass. Choose between a journey through world-class chardonnay, including back vintages and new releases to compare, or an exploration of the highly acclaimed single block wines from the 864 range.
You’ll also be treated to a four-course lunch with matched wines in Oakridge’s beautiful dining room. The menu is ever-changing but currently includes crispy Jerusalem artichokes topped with parmesan and truffle honey; duck served alongside a puree or parsnips; and calamari with smoked celeriac, pickled kohlrabi and a toasted yeast sauce.
And before the helicopter arrives to fly you back to Melbourne, you’ll each be given a bottle of wine to take home.
