- Your own luxury vehicle
- Pickup and drop-off anywhere in Melbourne
- Freedom to choose your favourite wineries
- Extra stops such as chocolaterie, distillery or brewery
- Relaxation, comfort and no parking or driving stress
Many guests combine their day trip with Private Chauffeured Airport Transfers when flying into Melbourne, making it easy to connect their holiday, business trip or weekend escape.
