Our guide Nick, was extremely professional, friendly and knowledgable without being a wine snob which I have encountered in this kind of setting multiple times. Our group was very diverse, and it catered to everyones needs perfectly. The mix of wineries was great, it really gave you a good... More

Took a day wine tour to the Yarra Valley with this company. Initially we had regrets as the bus was rather small and uncomfortable. But Nick the guide was excellent, witty and kept the ticking along - even if he was a bit anal about timings. Food for lunch was really good - we all thought we could have done... More

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. Great to hear you enjoyed our tour to the Yarra Valley, in order to provide a more personalised experience we do use 24 seater vehicles rather than large coaches, this also allows us to have more flexibility in the wineries we visit. We strive to provide a relaxed and enjoyable... More

I decided on a Saturday that I wanted to check out Yarra Valley for its beautiful views and great wine. Was intending to go the very next day as wifey was occupied, so had an entire Sunday to kill. Went onto the net, browse for 5 mins, and booked the day tour for 110Aus dollar. Trip confirmed within ten mins,... More

Our last day in Melbourne my wife and I wanted to get out of the city. We thought about renting a car and driving out to wine country. We noticed this brouchure in the hotel lobby and gave it a try. To be honest I agreed to this tour for my wife. I did not think I would enjoy it.... More

beside the perfect weather it was a perfect day. the driver took us through some beautiful countryside instead of going up the motorway so that was a good start. we went to four winery's and that was a enough as it was not rushed and we had time to enjoy each one. the driver was very friendly and very knowledgable...

We went on the Yarra Valley wine tour. The tour included a fairly humorous but VERY knowledgeable tour guide/driver, entry to 4 top notch wineries, a really excellent sit down lunch, afternoon tea, and up to 80 different wines to sample. We were also warned by our tour guide that should we try to sample all 80, there was a... More

This tour was VERY rushed, minimal time was allowed at each of the wineries for browsing the shops and taking photos. Even lunch was hurried (albeit delicious! thank you Rochford!!) and we didn't even have time for dessert!!! I was very disappointed at that. Too much time was spent driving back and forth between vineyards rather than just going in... More

Pickup location was great. Some had gotten coffee before and we were told we weren't allowed to have drinks on bus, though I imagine most of the bus tours are similar. Started at Domaine Chandon, awesome winery. Great talk by guide and wine server. Dissapointed in "cheese" platter, Was some bread with parmesan shavings and small bowl of dipping sauce.... More
