Do you want to enjoy some wine in the Yarra Valley? Find out the two best Wine spots in this guide.

Few people can brag about having an extensive wine knowledge, so the staff at the wineries are happy to help guests through steps such as the winemaking process, teaching them on what ingredients are made for each blend, and how something as small as a piece of chocolate with a bit of Shiraz can change the taste.

To avoid looking like a rookie, follow these steps for each pour:

• Start by looking at the glass first. Inspect the wine for its clarity, color, and if it has any sediment.
• Next, swirl the wine that’s in your glass, this allows oxygen in the wine and the aromas. Note: tread carefully when you’re swirling a red wine while wearing white clothes!
• Smell the wine to see what flavors are added to the wine. Strawberries? Pears?
• Sip the wine and place it towards your mouth, so try out and detect the different tastes.
• The best part – start drinking! If you aren’t fond of a certain variety, there’s a pitcher where you can start dumping the remnants without having to offend anyone, for the next wine pour. Make sure you rinse your glass if you’re trying to change it from black to white.
