5.00While I'm sure the other tour guides are just as amazing, we can only speak for Seany. It was a wonderful easy day with amazing views, great wine and great company. The smaller group size is perfect and make the tastings feel intimate. Lunch was delicious and perfectly timed to help soak up the wine from the tastings. The tour ending with ice cream was the perfect way to sober up along with a nap on the bus ride back. Bought 2 bottles. Would definitely do again especially with Seany cheeky personality and Dad jokes. THANKS Sean!!! 😃
Gin and wine? Wow

5.00Firstly, Poz, our guide/driver/and now friend, was incredibly thoughtful and friendly. Appreciated his genuine desire to deliver a fun and informative wine tour. Kudos to him! The wineries represented the Yarra Valley quite well - from large scale, well renowned operations to smallish family owned businesses. And the wines were a lot of fun to compare. The lunch at one of the wineries was my favorite part. Food was quite good and the atmosphere and shared experience made for a memorable time. Loved seeing the landscape of the region as well. The wineries really showed it off. Highly recommend Poz and his version of this tour. He made it fun and he took such great pride in his role and that makes all the difference! Thank you!
