5.00I’m so glad I chose to spend my only free day during my business trip in Melbourne on this Yarra Valley wine tasting tour—it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. The entire experience was very well organized and thoughtfully paced. Even with the many stops throughout the day, it never felt tiring or rushed. The mini bus was comfortable, and the transport itself was smooth and relaxing, making the journey between wineries enjoyable on its own. What really made the tour special was the driver, who is also the owner of the company. He was genuinely funny, friendly, and engaging, and he made an effort to talk to each guest individually to make sure everyone was having a good time. That personal touch made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming rather than just a standard tour. I was also traveling solo, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the experience and never felt out of place. The atmosphere was very friendly and easygoing, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I also loved that I actually learned a lot about wines during the trip. Each stop had its own character, and the tastings were both enjoyable and informative. The visit to the chocolate factory was also a fun addition and gave the day a nice variety beyond just wine tasting. My most memorable stop, though, was the gin tasting. The flavors were unique, smooth, and surprisingly delicious—definitely something I’ll remember from the trip. To top it all off, on the way back at the end of the tour, we even saw a beautiful rainbow, which felt like the perfect ending to such a relaxing and memorable day. Overall, the tour struck the perfect balance of being relaxing, fun, social, and informative. Highly recommended!
Great way to explore explore the valley

4.00Guide was awesome. Flexible with pick up and drop off. Lunch location was nice and food was quality. Fruit Farm was yum and happy to support local farmers and growers, though an option to add an additional winery would have been great instead for us. Chocolate tasting was generous tastings. All wine tasting hosts were knowledgeable and really nice, no pressure to purchase though appreciate when purchases were made!
Relaxed, informative and lots of laughs

5.00It was a tour in English, but I am glad the driver was very kind. They used the translation app to confirm important things like meeting times directly.
Many tastings, do not miss it!
