Horses, beer, wine... It sounds like a day at the races! This tour will see you winding your way through some of Victoria's finest countryside, visiting the Living Legends of racing at Woodlands Estate, enjoying fine wine and lunch in Gisborne and trying a range of cold beer in beautiful Woodend.

After leaving Melbourne you will travel to Woodland Historic Park where you visit Living Legends, home to the nation's favourite retired champion race horses!

You might meet racing heroes such as Might and Power, Sky Heights and Rogan Josh, and you will marvel at Woodlands Historic Park's stately homestead, magnificent gardens and 19th century ruins.

You then re-board the bus and travel to Gisborne Peak Winery where you enjoy a delicious gourmet Wood Fired Pizza Winery lunch and taste some fabulous wine.

Then we're off for another round of tasting, this time at a Holgate Brewhouse! This iconic country pub stocks a range of classic brew styles, full in flavour and rich in character.

After leaving the brewery we make our return trip to Melbourne. Relax and let our tour host drive while you enjoy the view and a few...

    It was a really enjoyable day. Simon was really helpful and knew his stuff, very impressed when he greeted us all by our names (without the booking sheet in front of him). There was something for everyone, even if you didn't know the horses (legends), the winery was a great place for lunch & tasting and the beer tasting was really interesting. All the staff at the places we visited were really nice. This was a present from our kids, the perfect thing to purchase for a hard to buy for person.

    We enjoyed a lovely day, small group, we all got along and we all had something in common, whether it was Horses, Wine or Beer! Our tour guide Simon was fantastic, very easy going and laid back. He had lots of interesting stories to tell. Thanks for a great day!

    Lovely day although at 39 degrees a little hot. Simon was a great guide with an excellent memory for names and his interest in the horses made our visit all the more enjoyable. Staff at the homestead were excellent and friendly. Gisbourne Peak Winery was an excellent choice from the welcome and wine tasting lessons to the delicious pizza lunch. We didn't do justice to the superb range of beers at Holgate as we were still full from lunch but the presentation was very good.

    The horses were great. The wine part was also great. The beer part was too long with sitting around for an hour or so in Woodend with not much to do.

    This is the first time I have used a RedBalloon experience and the tour operator assinged to our group was friendly and knowledgible about the tour. Each of the venues Living Legends, Winery and Brewery were very welcoming. Enjoyed the experience and will use RedBalloon again in the future
