Getting to and around Coldstream
Coldstream sits about 44km and roughly 48 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, in the heart of the Yarra Valley’s wine country. It’s a small township, but it punches above its weight as a destination — home to Yering Station, widely recognised as Victoria’s first commercial vineyard, and Coldstream Hills, one of the Valley’s best-known wine labels. The Yarra River winds through the district, and much of the surrounding land is given over to vineyards and horse studs.
Because Coldstream is more a collection of notable wineries than a conventional town centre, most bookings here are destination-specific — cellar door visits, function transfers, and wine tour stops rather than general local trips.
Why book Melbourne Premium Cab Service here
Coldstream’s wineries are spread across a wide rural area with driveways that aren’t always well signposted from the main road. We know the local cellar door locations, and for wine tour bookings, we can plan a route between Coldstream’s wineries and neighbouring Yarra Glen or Healesville in a single fixed-fare trip.
