5.00Posi our guide was brilliant and made the tour great, the information, the vibes, the tunes just made the experience 'epic'. I'm glad I booked this. The wineries were great especially the first Yering Station and Soumah. The drive in (even on a winter has a lot of atmosphere), with sprawling view of the valley and vineyards is phenomenal.
Most enjoyable tour

5.00Posi Chris (I hope I'm spelling his name correctly!) is an amazing guide for the wine tour. Unlike the usual boring tours, Posi, took the effort to hype the group up and provided detailed explanations on the different vineyards we visited. We had a good time with Posi!

5.00‘Posse’ Chris; Very boisterous and engaging guide. Kept the entire experience lively from start to finish with great energy and personality. The food recommendations were excellent, especially the local eats and hidden gems we would have never found ourselves. Wine selections were also spot on and paired perfectly throughout the experience. Felt well paced, fun, and genuinely memorable. Highly recommend for anyone wanting great food, great wine, and a guide who knows how to keep the atmosphere entertaining and welcoming.
Great day out in the beautiful Yarra Valley!

5.00I loved this wine tour. I was a little worried at first, because it was a gray and drizzly day - but the Yarra Valley is really beautiful, and it was nice to get out into the countryside and take a break from the CBD. We visited four vineyards, and they were each very different and interesting. The chocolate factory stop was also really fun. But I think the best thing about our trip was Posi, our Australian guide. He was fun, laid back, and thoughtful. He set a really wonderful tone for the day, and he made us all feel like a little community. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne.
