5.00I have been on this tour before and it’s always a lot of fun. This time, when I discovered Soumah Winery (my favourite) wasn’t on the itinerary, the administrator kindly altered the trip and Danny kindly dropped my friend and I off there before returning to pick us up. Service with a smile 😊

5.00Excellent experience and a chance to enjoy some Australian wines that you may not have tried before in beautiful surroundings. Good selection of wines and the lunch we were provided was excellent. Met some lovely people and had an enjoyable day. We opted for the gin tasting which was enjoyable and again chance to try something different. The chocolate tasting and ice cream at the end rounded off the day nicely. Very good value for money

5.00Our first trip to the Yarra Valley and such a perfect way to see and enjoy the experience. Right from the start at the meeting point our tour guide Stefan made us feel welcome and throughout the tour the commentary he provided was informative and enjoyable. The three wineries we visited were very welcoming and the pride in their wines was displayed in the informative tastings. Finishing the day with a visit to the Chocolate Factory and the Four Pillars Gin distillery was the perfect end to a most enjoyable day. We will be recommending this tour to our friends. A big thankyou to our host Stefan as he made the day exceptional.
