Mobile ticket
Our wine tour is a social, down to earth and laid back trip that offers great wines, gin, cider and more..and we have a laugh doing it!
We'll pick you up in the morning and focus on everyone getting to know each other. We get everyone to add to a Spotify playlist so we have some tunes and spend the first hour just chatting!
Our itinerary has been crafted over the many years to give everyone choice throughout the day. This is done by selecting venues that are very close to other types of venues so you get as much control and choice as possible.
Generally we go to 2 Wineries (one of which also does cider), then lunch at your expense, then onto your choice of a Gin distillery, A brewery or a winery and finally your choice of a chocolate tasting or another winery. Cheese is also available
We don't include lunch in the price, so we go to a restaurant (Quarters or Chandon) where you can order/pay what you want to eat/drink.
We use a 24 seater bus but generally fill 15-22 seats.

5.00Highly recommend this tour! Our guide Matt was excellent. He kept everything fun and on track. The tour was exactly as described. We had a one hour drive to the valley, and our first winery. After that, each stop was just minutes away. Beautiful scenery and delicious wines! We especially liked that options were presented so that everyone had a great time.
Great day out

5.00Lovely day out with lots to do. 3 vineyards, one gin tasting and a chocolate factory/shop. What more could you ask for. The Rep from the company who took us round that day was wonderful. So full of enthusiasm, fun and extremely helpful. There was nothing you couldn't ask him. I'd most definitely recommend this tour
Great experience! The scenery, the diversity of wines and the laid back organization of Andrew. His music was also great

5.00Our tour with Callum was fantastic! He’s got great energy and very friendly with everyone. The wineries we visited had good wine and the lunch spot had good food. The gin was strong, but the mixer really cut the alcoholic taste and made the tasting drinkable. The chocolate tasting was the perfect amount of chocolate and a really good variety (there’s about twice as much than in my photo, I just forgot to take an “after” pic). Our chocolate guide was very funny!
Highly recommend!!

5.00Amazing experience from start to finish. A perfect day to celebrate a birthday with a large group of friends. The entire day went so seamlessly and we were spoilt with drinks and food. Our driver, Dave, was amazing to talk to and was so accomodating to our very large group, and gave us some good recommendations to check out when we are in Yarra Valley next!! Thank you to Andrew and the team for helping me plan out this fun day with great execution!

5.00If you are looking for a fabulous day out, where you can be driven in a comfortable minibus by an absolutely awesome young man called Matt, view gorgeous scenery, taste premier wines and gin, eat delicious food, and finish the day with amazing chocolate & ice-cream, then don’t look any further, as this is the tour for you! It was great to share it with fantastic humans from every corner of the globe. What a wonderful world! Thanks Matt, you made our day, with your excellent driving skills, quick wit, and great playlist!

5.00Great day from start to finish. The vineyards we visited were lovely and well organised.The gin place fantastic as was the chocolate tasting. Gorgeous chocolate. Wasn't a fan of the spotify playlist on the way home,it was all a bit boring . If music is to be played would like a good variety,not just 1 persons taste.
