5.00Aside from visiting the awesome wineries, our guide, Sean, explained the fascinating history of this beautiful region! We live in Northern California close to so many wineries, but the Yarra Valley wineries were enchanting in a whole new way!
Take it, nice exploring journey.

5.00I was on a tour with tourgide Posi. He is super friendly and the tour is totally worth the money!! Posi made sure everyone was having a good time during the day! The Tour was a full day of tasting different wines, different kinds of chocola, some fresh fruit and lovely gin. Posi made sure the music was nice during the rides between the stops. It is just a small group of people so you can talk to everyone if you want.Had a really good time today, would highly recommend the tour.

5.00Great wine tour! Sean was a great driver and guide! Great selections of wine. I just wished they explained more about the notes and flavor profiles of the wines in each stop. Lunch was also great! We just didn't like this old guy who was serving us in Soumah wines who was so grumpy. The space was so cramped, there were like 3 stations (so that's 3 tour groups of like 15 people each??). Don't expect people to crowd over your table the whole time and be silently sipping our wines. Naturally we would like to discuss amongst our group about what we're tasting, and move back because of the lack of space in front. So sorry if we were noisy!!! Sean was so nice to offer to take pictures of our group, and really did his best to talk to each one of us. Thanks for the great tour!
Superb day in the Yarra

5.00A fantastic day, guided by Tom, to some lovely wineries. An impromptu stop on the way to get some shots of kangaroos enjoying the sunshine. Great to have some flexibility on the day, so you can choose to join the gin tasting, chocolate tasting etc or spend time drinking some lovely wine. Very well organised tour, clear on timings and inclusive of people travelling solo. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing trip
