In the name of St. Valentine, February 14 is a day to shower your loved one with love and affection. This much talked about patron saint might be shrouded in mystery, but in all of the stories, there’s one constant – love.
Some legends say he was a priest in ancient Rome that performed marriages in secret after Emperor Claudius II forbid soldiers to marry, while others say he was a martyr who was killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons. It’s also been rumoured that while he was imprisoned awaiting his death sentence, he fell in love with the jailor’s daughter where he allegedly wrote a love letter signed “From your Valentine”.
While stories of his origins vary, he is consistently referenced as a sympathetic, heroic and romantic figure. So, it’s only fitting that we honour his memory with celebrations of love!
Do you have plans for this Valentine’s Day?
There’s no denying that gifting chocolates and flowers is a nice gesture, but a romantic day in the Yarra Valley or a weekend escape to some of the most picturesque vineyards in the region say a lot more than store-bought chocolates.
Whether you want to escape on Valentine’s Day or purchase a gift voucher for a Yarra Valley wine tour that can be used at a later, more suitable date – a surprise getaway is just what St. Valentine would approve of.
As the epitome of luxury, our premium private tours will give you a chance to enjoy all the Yarra Valley has to offer, without having to share your transport or tour guide with anyone else.
Perfect for a couple wanting to escape the rat race for the day, while tasting some of the best wine and champagne the Yarra Valley has to offer, you can share a romantic lunch and soak up the beauty of the natural landscape.
However, one of the best parts of our premium private tours is that you can customise your itinerary, and even include some of the region’s other attractions, like Healesville Sanctuary.
A two-day winery tour that comes complete with luxury accommodation at Balgownie Estate Vineyard Resort and Spa, and the option to indulge in a soothing spa treatment for two, is an ideal way to celebrate the most romantic day of the year.
During your stay at the spa, you’ll have access to some of the resort’s premium features, including the indoor swimming pool, wet steam room, dry sauna, walking trails and tennis court.
You will also enjoy a two-day guided winery tour with lunch on day one and a buffet breakfast on day two included.
With an open date and 12-month validity, a gift voucher from Australian Wine Tour Company will give that special someone something to look forward to. A day of indulgence is just a mouse click or a phone call away.
So, this Valentine’s Day, ditch the chocolates and say ‘I love you’ with a romantic, rewarding experience instead.
