One day vineyard tour - Yarra Valley or Mornington Peninsula
 
Hello,
I am back with another query. We are looking to reserve a one day vineyard tour from Melbourne in the first / second week of June, and need to decide between Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley. I searched a couple of older threads as well. For context, I am the wine lover (I love pinot noirs, shiraz), and my husband isn't much of a wine fan so he is fine with either location.
Most tours that I saw online seemed to offer similar experiences in both regions. If anyone here can advise on which is a better option. or that either is fine, I would be grateful.

Yarra Valley has over 80 vineyards and is world famous for its chardonay and pinot. it has the oldest winery in Victoria planted in 1838. Its inland whereas Mornington is on the coast. I would prerfer Yarra Valley for its variety and history.

Thank you - this is very helpful. We’ll stick with Yarra valley then.
