5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing wine & chocolate tasting day in Yarra Valley! We had the most incredible day exploring, was perfectly organised from start to finish, and the scenery was just stunning with the rolling vineyards. The wine tastings were fantastic, with a great mix of varieties and knowledgeable staff at each stop who made the experience both fun and informative. The chocolate tasting was such a highlight too and so delicious! Great guide who was super firendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about the region. Kept the energy up, made everyone feel welcome, and shared interesting facts throughout the trip. It felt personal, not rushed, and very well thought out. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Victoria. Such a perfect day trip from Melbourne – relaxing, fun, and memorable. We couldn’t be happier with the experience!

5.00Very well run tour, with a lot packed in. Four smaller wineries with a ton of character, lots of history and context on the Yarra Valley and even bar and restaurant recs for Melbourne. Danny kept the drive fun and interesting in between stops. Getting ice cream and chocolate at the end was a nice treat. Great tour! Highly recommend.
