5.00This was a great trip, our guide was knowledgeable and made the tour a lot of fun. Smooth pick up and drop off. The vineyards and wine all very nice, with a good range of high quality wines. Only negative is that the food at Ai Fiori (Soumah) wasn’t quite the same standard as the wines, but was still good.
Best tour experience in Melbourne

5.00Stefan is an amazingly hospitable tour host. He took us on a day tour of the Yarra Valley (farm produce, wine, chocolate, gin) and generously shared his knowledge in a very engaging manner.

5.00We had a great day, was so much fun and each winery had stunning views. The wines were all lovely. Our host sean was really friendly and made the day feel relaxed. It also was very well organised. There was around 6 different wines to taste at each winery and we then went to the gin distillery which gave us 4 different gins to try on a paddle. If you like wine, good views and are looking for a fun day out this is the perfect thing for you!
Very good!

5.00Epic Yarra Valley Wine Tour + Lunch, Chocolate & Gin/Beer We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Epic Yarra Valley Wine Tour with Shawn from Dancing Kangaroo 🦘. From start to finish, Shawn was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly welcoming. He made the day feel relaxed, fun, and very well organized. Shawn shared great insights about the Yarra Valley, the wineries, and the local culture, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The wine tastings, delicious lunch, chocolate, and gin/beer stops were perfectly curated and paced. Nothing felt rushed, and we truly felt taken care of throughout the day. What stood out most was Shawn’s warm personality and genuine care for his guests. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. This tour was a highlight of our trip, and I would highly recommend Dancing Kangaroo—especially with Shawn as your guide—for an unforgettable Yarra Valley experience.
