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.
Public transportation options are available nearby
Suitable for all physical fitness levels

Enjoyed the tour, no obligation to pay extra, but opportunities to buy wine, chocolate, etc. short travel times, so more time to enjoy scenic views of Yarra valley

Had the best time with Gilbert! He’s very patient and understanding. We felt comfortable and relaxed at each spot. Would recommend and request him each time

Absolutely outstanding and Gilbert our tour guide driver was so amazingly informative, friendly and happy to assist with all things. We adjusted our winery tour slightly by opting for a super time at Chandon, which Gilbert saw us in to the door. We loved every winery visited and would do it again. Gilbert, we’d ask to be on his bus again! Funny, happy, helpful, caring, absolute great personality Thank you Red Carpet and our lovely girl MR for organising xx

This is my third time with red carpet tours and I’d never book with anyone else. The whole day is so planned out and the driver (Gilberto!!!) was so lovely. Water on board, commentary and so much knowledge of the area on the way there. Would never book with any other company!

Had the best day with Gilberto, the winery’s were beautiful and a great mix of wines. Not too long spent on the coach compared to other tips I’ve been on. Would highly recommend.

Doc ran a very tight ship, got everywhere on time with plenty of time to enjoy each place. Doc was also fantastic company throughout the trip. The vineyards in the tour were all excellent.
