Well organised. Mike the driver/guide was very informative with funny anecdotes about local landmarks. 3 very different wineries. We preferred the first and definitely the third.
Fun and Wine at Yarra!

It was a beautiful spring day! Our driver and the scenery were wonderful! We really enjoyed 2 of the 3 winery stops (Soumah and Helen & Joey). The 3rd stop (Payten & Jones) was more like an intercity brewery and the wines were not to our liking....I would recommend replacing this one with another stop, perhaps Chandon! :)
Best day out!! Ray Ray was great

I think this was a terrific tour. Ray was a great guide/driver who made everyone feel comfortable. I met some really nice people. I liked some of the wines and not others, and that’s the whole point of doing a tour like this. Half day is, for me, the perfect amount of time.
Lovely trip
