Definitely, the best of the Yarra Valley. - Rick was the best host. So professional, extremely knowledgeable and yet so friendly. He included everybody and took the time to get to know a little bit about everybody on the tour.

Excellent tour - Rick was very welcoming. He provided commentary on pretty much everything including the history of Melbourne as we passed certain sites. It was very informative and interesting.
The fruit farm and chocolate factory were great. Had lots of Amazing and Fresh produce, sauces, chocolates and ice-creams.
Vineyards were nice and relaxing. Really enjoyed the gin tasting at rockford wines.
Overall it was well worth the price and the complimentary wine bottle was a real treat.

Book now!! Great day out with so much variety. - Just do it!! We picked this tour because of the variety of experiences. We weren’t disappointed!! Every stop was great!! Fruit and chocolate tastings fantastic! Gin distillery had excellent and very different flavours to the usuals. The two winery visits also excellent.. knowledgeable staff who knew their products and were enthusiastically promoting them.
Tour guide Rick knew so much about everything along the way.. loved the fact we didn’t just go down the motorway to get to the Yarra Valley but went the scenic way. Rick went out of his way to make it a day to remember. Have already recommended this tour to friends.

A really good wine tour - No doubt - one of the best wine tours we've been on. Small group, pleasant driver, amazing wineries and great food. Had both 10 bottles of wine and gin, chocolate and nougat home😄
What more can you ask for.?

Enjoyable varied day - We both really enjoyed the day, we chose this tour as unusually we didn’t want to spend the entire day tasting wine!
The day was varied with an option to have a good lunch
Melanie was the tour leader, she was very welcoming and friendly, smooth safe driver, van was clean and tidy with good AC
We appreciated getting back to the city prior to rush hour
Would use this company again to try other wineries

Lovely day out & great value for money - Lovely day! Picked up promptly at Ian Potter Centre. There were only 5 of us in the group taken by Rick, who was friendly and informative. Our first stop was at fruit farm where we were given small slices of fruit, nougat and chutneys and given the opportunity to buy something (no pressure). The lady at the fruit farm didn’t explain anything but Rick told us about the fruit farming in the Yarra Valley. Next we went for a chocolate tasting. This was ok but very commercial setting. Next we went to Rochford wines. This cellar door was a beautiful location with excellent wines. The staff were helpful and answered questions. We had lunch here at Il Vignito restaurant. Finally we went to St Hubert’s. Another stunning location with great wines and we could choose our favourite bottle to take home (included in price for the day)!
Only visited 2 cellar doors but overall excellent value for money and lovely small group tour. I would definitely recommend!

Highlight of our trip to Melbourne! - I went on this tour with my 77 year old Mother and we had the best day. It was the highlight of our 4 days in Melbourne. Everything was so well planned and organized and we never felt rushed. Such a perfect variety of stops throughout the day, we couldn't fault the day. Rick was a brilliant host and guide who ensured we made the most of our day. Couldn't ask for a better Mother/Daughter outing. We made some lovely memories. Thanks Rick!
