5.00What a magnificent experience! My partner booked this trip for us on our last stop in Australia, and we couldn’t possibly have lucked out more. Posi (truly living up to his nickname earned for being so positive) is a phenomenal tour guide. He knows so much about the valley and all the stops along the way. The tour is intimate, and we ended up making friends with the people along for the ride with us. The snack in the middle is perfect to get you through a pretty good amount of drinking. We had just the right amount of wine to kick off a lovely night in Melbourne. If you’re looking for a non-commercialized, personal experience with tour guides who have gained rapport with the vineyards you visit, I’d pick this one.
A lovely day

5.00This was a lovely tour to do. Posi our tour guide was engaging and friendly. The wineries had lively views (this was a great time to do this). Having lunch included made things easy and it was really yummy. We had enough time at each stop so it didn’t feel rushed as well. Would recommend.
Nice way to try wine and food

5.00Great experience. Poz was a great host and driver, kept the vibe up all day. Min 5 tastings at each winery, extra fee for additional glass (standard). To visit 4 venues in one day is alot, but the timing worked out! Atmosphere was easy and fun with a final group of 20! Best for all - singles, duo's and multiples!
Nice trip
