5.00We had a great day in the Yarra Valley with our driver/guide Danny and Dancing Kangaroos! The trip was exactly as described , and Danny provided great information and explanations of what to expect at each stop - with an easy going delivery and perfect pace. The tastings were all unique & great, a variety of vineyards, a beautiful setting for lunch with delicious food, a plentiful chocolate stop, and a variety of gins. We highly recommend Danny & this company!

5.00We had a fantastic day on the Dancing Kangaroo Wine Tour of the Yarra Valley. From start to finish everything was well organised and relaxed. Danny, our driver and tour guide, was super friendly, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable about the region, the wineries and the wines themselves. He really added to the experience with great insights and an easygoing vibe that made the whole day enjoyable. The winery selections were excellent and the pace of the day was just right – plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Highly recommend Dancing Kangaroo Wine Tours if you’re looking for a fun, informative and stress-free way to explore the Yarra Valley. 🍷🦘
For all wine & nature lovers

5.00The tour was truly amazing. Danny, you were an absolutely wonderful host and guide, so warm, knowledgeable and engaging throughout. Tasting wine in Australia itself was such a special experience, especially since I already enjoy Australian wines back in India—it added a whole new layer of appreciation. Simoh was lovely, but Yarring Farm completely stole my heart with its old-world charm and rustic beauty, it felt timeless and authentic. And of course, I can’t end without mentioning the chocolate tasting session 😊 that was pure delight and the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic day. Thank you for such a memorable experience! A day well spent with my daughter.❤️❤️
