Acerca de esta actividad

Póngase cómodo, relájese y disfrute de las vistas mientras viaja desde Melbourne por la región de Victoria y prepárese para un día muy divertido con caballos, gastronomía, vino y cerveza.
La primera parada es "Leyendas vivas" en Woodlands Historic Park, donde viven algunos de los caballos de carreras más famosos de Australia, como Fields of Omagh, Might and Power, Silent Witness, Better Loosen Up, Rogan Josh, Apache Cat, Doriemus, Brew and Paris Lane. Muchos de estos caballos son los ganadores de la famosa Copa de Melbourne, la carrera que detiene a todo el país.
"Leyendas vivas" fue creada para llevar a los caballos campeones retirados de vuelta al público. Está en Woodlands Historic Park, un lugar exclusivo y pintoresco que incluye una finca histórica, magníficos jardines y abundantes parques. El té de la mañana se servirá en la finca con vistas a los jardines, que también son hogar de canguros y otros animales autóctonos australianos.
Continuará hasta el galardonado Gisborne Peak Estate situado en la región vinícola con clima frío en Macedon Ranges. La bodega contiene excelentes vinos, comida gourmet y cuenta con magníficas vistas. Relájese y disfrute de las vistas mientras almuerza una pizza gourmet cocinada a la leña y prueba los chardonnays, rieslings y semillons por los que es famoso Gisborne Peak Estate.
Antes de regresar a Melbourne, ponga punto final al día con catas de cerveza en la Holgate Brewery, hogar del ganador del trofeo Best Beer Brewed de 2008 en Victoria. Holgate es un pub de campo tradicional con cerveza de estilos clásicos, llenos de sabor y con gran carácter. Emplee su tiempo aquí en pasear por la calle principal del hermoso Woodend o relajándose en el jardín de la cerveza.

This is a very enjoyable and interesting tour for solo travellers, couples or groups. We only had 7 on our tour and 6-12 is probably an ideal number. The tour operator collected me from my Hotel on time and we arrived back in Melbourne on schedule or thereabouts. There is not a lot of travelling involved and plenty of time at the three locations visited. My highlight was the visit to Woodlands Homestead including Devonshire Tea in the Homestead and the opportunity to mingle with so many retired champion racehorses such as Might and Power, Fields of Omagh and Better Loosen Up. No horse riding, just in case you were wondering! Living Legends is a must for horse lovers or animal lovers generally, irrespective of whether or not you have any interest in horse racing. It was an amazing experience and our guide was exceptional. Her intimate knowledge of the horses, their personalities and mannerisms was nothing like I have heard before. Our last stop at the Holgate Brewhouse was not too far behind Woodlands Homestead in terms of enjoyment. This iconic hotel is charming and was an ideal location to taste a fine selection of Holgates beers. Our hostess was very knowledgeable, engaging and an absolute delight. The only let down was our second stop at a winery. While the location was very pleasant and the wood fired pizzas for lunch were okay, the wine tasting was lack lustre and disappointing. The only commentary we got was the name of each wine which we could have read ourselves. Despite this hiccough, I thoroughly recommend this tour.

We so enjoyed this tour! Meeting all the Champion Racehorses like Melbourne Cup winners Rogan Josh, Zipping and Efficient was such fun. The historic homestead was lovely too, and the Devonshire tea to die for. Woodfire pizzas at the wine tasting then the boutique brewery at Woodend finished off a lovely day. Simon the guide was great and you just felt like a mate was showing you around. Highly recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this well organised and highly enjoyable tour. Living Legends was terrific. A real must for horses lovers or Melbourne Cup enthusiasts with the homestead and morning tea a real plus. The wine tasting and accompanying commentary at our next destination was enlightening and the wood fire pizza - delicious. Finishing the day in a quiet, country town sampling boutique beers was a happy ending to a lovely tour.
