Both the wine tour and the overnight stay at Balgownie Estate are great but I think it’s better just to stick to the Yarra Valley day tour. The overnight tour follows the exact itinerary of the day tour with an added overnight accommodation (no special arrangements for the overnight tour).
You follow the AM itinerary on the first day with one group, check in to Balgownie Estate in the afternoon and follow a second group the next day for the PM itinerary.
There really isn’t anything to do at Balgownie Estate after checking in as you wouldn’t have any transport to visit the nearby wineries so I would say it’s not worth it stretching the tour over 2 days.

The wineries were fabulous.
Amazing customer service.
Our bus diver was rude and condescending and made jokes at other people expenses.
A shame as the driver was very knowledgable.
For further reference when the overnight tour is offered in conjunction with the day tour, recommend the overnight tour travellers only have an overnight size bag, due to restricted luggage storage on bus.

The wineries we toured we really nice. We chose the 2 day tour and stayed at the Belgownie Estate. Our room was spacious with a round Jacuzzi tub. We were able to get a couples massage at the spa and finished off the evening with a lovely meal. The wine guy Orle was there from France. His father owns a winery and Orle is working at wineries around the world to take back an experience at the family business.
Nick our driver/guide was extremely knowledgeable, funny and went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great experience. I would highly recommend this tour.

Very friendly tour guide, great accommodation, beautiful views - but tour bus is too small and tour is pricey compared to booking locally. (When inquiring - local tour was half the price that I booked online)
