    A nice wine tour; the vineyards were lovely. The wines we tasted were ok, and the lunch was excellent. The only sour note was the tour guide taking a couple shots at our President; Trump supporters travel, too.

  • Great winery visits with knowledgeable guide

    Booked this trip the day before. Our very knowledgeable and friendly driver Bill picked us up at our hotel. He was very attentive and did a great job on this tour. He had a wonderful attitude and it thoroughly seemed like he enjoyed his job. We visited three wineries and had a wonderful tasting at each one of them. The tastings were nicely set up with knowledgeable staff. At one of the wineries we were hosted by the owner. At another winery, we had a cheese tasting with each of the wines. Our lunch at the other winery was also very nicely done - We were all seated at a large table facing the vineyard and we started with a shared charcuterie board and then a choice of one of three main courses. There were eight of us total on this tour. The mini van has a total of 10 seats and we are glad it wasn’t entirely full. The van isn’t new & was a little bit of a rough ride on some of the roads, but thankfully that did not take away from the day that we had! I’m sure it would be quite expensive to purchase new luxury vehicles. My husband and I felt it was a good value for what we paid and would happily recommend this to anyone wanting to explore the Yarra wine region.

  • Amazing tight nit group!

    The tour was absolutely fantastic! We were first picked up at an agreed spot near out home. The journey was just over an hour to the first cellar door. We were greeted well at every winery we visited and had an absolute incredible lunch. Nicky was amazing and absolutely accommodating to everyone's needs. There was only 5 of us in a clean and comfortable van which made the journey more favaroble. If you are a small group or simply don't want to be in entire bus full of randomers and want some amazing insights book this!

    Bill was our driver/host and made our experience very nice. We felt safe and he added information about our journey for the day very enjoyable. Our adventure had four couples that have been married for 40+ years one at 37 yet I felt that is wonderful. They were all a delight to enjoy this experience with. I highly recommend this tasting of the Yarra valley wines. It was not only beautiful the wineries are top notch. The luncheon was great and we loved the wines . Thank you so much.
