5.00Thank you Ceps for a wonderful experience in the Yarra Valley. Absolutely perfect time of year to go. Gorgeous first stop at Punt road, our server really knew his wine & very informative on the vineyard which we appreciated. Next stop was Chandon for lunch which was delicious and our servers were lovely. Last stop was Dominique Portet which was a perfect way to end the day outside as the sun was setting. Thank you Hop It this was our second trip with you guys and we absolutely love you. Would highly recommend & we will be back for sure 💕.

5.00This hop-on hop-off wine tour in the Yarra Valley was one of the highlights of my trip. I loved the flexibility of being able to choose my own itinerary and visit wineries at my own pace. The experience was both relaxing and fun. Knowing I had a reliable driver made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to experience the Yarra Valley wineries in a flexible, convenient, and enjoyable way.
Highly recommended

5.00A very pleasant and efficient experience. Run with military precision, in a nice way, by a very sociable couple. Plan which vineyards you wish to visit (or get help from them, for a chage). Then they drop you off and pick up at approximately 1hr intervals. Communication is great and you are in no doubt what you need to do. You can get up to 4 1hr visits in a day. What you do at each stop is up to you and at your cost. Would really recommend as a convenient way of executing a tour of multiple vineyards. Pickups from either Melbourne or Lilydale rail station.
Top marks all around. This is the best was to experience the Yarra wines. They will even curate your day.

5.00We took the Red Route Yarra Valley wine tasting and absolutely loved it. The organization and communication by Jon and his team was outstanding starting weeks before our trip. The day ran like a well oiled machine taking all the worries away so all we had to do was enjoy the wines and the venues. The bus was comfortable and Jon is knowledgeable and extremely personable. They will even curate your day for you if you like. Top marks all around. We highly recommend their team’s services.
