WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF FIVE STAR REVIEWS!
We operate 7 days a week without fail! And it is a great thing to do if you are in Melbourne and it is raining all day!
After years of providing private group tours for friends, family and businesses, we realised how much we love to please people and try and go the extra mile to see a bigger smile at the end of the day.
So we built out our new Yarra Valley Public Tour that has the necessary itinerary but also has flexibility to split up the group depending on their preferences on wine, gin, food and chocolate.

We are three Irish girls travelling around Australia who loved this trip. We got to taste many different wines from three different estates along with chocolates in a chocolatier. Our bus driver David was very friendly and accommodating throughout. He gave us chocolate bars at the end and let us pick the music for the journey home 😄

We had an excellent day with our tour guide David. He went out of his way to make our experience enjoyable and memorable. We went to 4 separate vineyards and a chocolatier. 10/10 experience and excellent value for money. Would recommend.

This tour was absolutely worth it! The Yarra Valley is beautiful, and the itinerary was very well organized. We visited several excellent wineries, enjoyed great wine tastings, and the chocolate tasting was a fantastic bonus. Every stop felt worthwhile and gave us enough time to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. A special mention goes to our driver, Gilberto, who was fantastic throughout the day. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and helped create a fun and relaxed atmosphere on the bus. His enthusiasm really added to the experience. The combination of wine, stunning scenery, chocolate, and a great guide made this an unforgettable day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne and looking to experience the Yarra Valley. Excellent value for money!

Gilberto was a great guide also a safe driver and full of information and details of the area and where we were going Had a great day plenty of wines to taste chocolate was interesting unique and tasty Cheese board (purchased separately) from the local cheese makers was delicious. Monique at balgownie winery was informative and bubbly and passionate about the wine varieties Sophie at the chocolatier was great at explaining the unique tastes that they also try creating the chocolate even Australian flavoured chocolates. So a taste test with a difference Art gallery with the aboriginal artworks created a side note on the tour. Lunch was also a great choice with a variety to suit all tastes on offer All wineries were all well chosen and offered great tasting and information by their staff on the varieties on offer Had a great day out in the Yarra Valley

My mum and I had an absolutely wonderful time on this winery tour during our trip to Melbourne. The wineries were beautiful, the wine tastings were excellent, and the entire day was well organised from start to finish. A huge thank you to Matt, our guide and driver, who truly made the experience special. He was friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the tour. We especially loved the Spotify playlist he had playing during the drive — it was full of great songs and created such a fun and relaxing atmosphere. We found ourselves enjoying the music almost as much as the wine! Matt's great personality, local knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm made the day even more memorable. My mum and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Melbourne. Thank you, Matt, for helping create such wonderful memories for us!
