5.00I enjoyed every part of the tour! The journey to the Yarra Valley was filled with amazingly scenic views, making the drive just as memorable as the destinations themselves. Visiting the different wineries was a fantastic experience, with each one offering unique flavors and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The lunch was delicious and perfectly complemented the wine tastings. I also appreciated how the tour allowed me to see a different side of Melbourne—peaceful, picturesque, and surrounded by beautiful vineyards and countryside. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable day, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the best of Victoria’s wine region.

Epic Yarra Valley Wine Tour

5.00The Epic wine tour was definitely more than I expected. We had ample time at each winery and the lunch provided was a good portion, very tasty, and included a wine of our choosing. We sampled four wines at each winery which was plenty and our visit to the chocolatier/ creamery was a nice treat. Our guide, Posi was friendly and sociable. He genuinely seems to enjoy taking people on wine tours and places an importance on customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend this tour with the Dancing Kangaroo Tour Company.
Perfect day in the yarra valley!
