5.00Jon, Sara and the Hop It team are absolute legends who love their wine, love partnering with local producers, and love showing people Melbourne's wine producing regions. Their enthusiasm is infectious and it's a guaranteed good day out. Not sure where to begin? Let them make the choices. Highly recommended as the best way to see the Yarra Valley whether you're a first timer wanting the classics or a return visitor looking for something bespoke, off the wall, or downright crazy. Book now!

5.00Excellent service, Fanny and kind guide. Spot on with times and a good structure for the day and that made it easy for us to plan and book our stops. Extra plus for the sing allong on the way back home.

5.00We had the best day ever and wonderful vineyard experience with the hop it tour. Jon was so helpful and organised, ensuring the whole day ran smoothly from start to finish. He also shared helpful insights about the vineyards. We couldn’t have asked for a better day and it was a real highlight of our holiday - a huge thank you to Jon and the Hop it Team!

5.00Thank you, Ceps! We had a great time being shown around the various wineries. Informative, fun, personable, and great driving. (And thanks to Jon for taking us around too. He took us to an add-on winery that required some coordination. Great music and driving too.)
Highly recommend!

5.00Great experience and excellent service from John. We were even tempted to book again the following day! I’d highly recommend the concierge service, made the whole day completely seamless. Time can fly in the one hour stops, so I’d suggest including at least one two-hour stop if you can. St Hubert’s had our favourite wines, and Punt Road was beautiful, with fantastic ciders as well as wine.
Excellent

5.00HopIt is the best way to get around the wineries - an hour was the perfect amount of time at each of our 4 stops. Food and drink were available at each place we visited so no need for a longer stop for lunch.
absolute worth it
