A more well rounded wine tour doesn't exist. - This was an amazing day. The wineries visited had both lovely wines to taste and informative staff. Adding in a brewery and a chocolate destination rounded this out as a unique experience. The lunch that was provided at one of the wineries was delicious and gave the group additional time to interact, getting to know each other. Our group attending the tour was very international which provided some wonderfully interesting conversations.

Great day! - What a lovely day in Yarra Valley! Our guide Sean was incredibly informative, stayed on schedule, and accommodated guests as needed. I did this tour on my own and I would highly recommend it for solo travelers or those traveling with friends or family. You drink a decent amount of wine so it turns out that you easily make friends! Sean’s family worked in the vineyards so he knew a lot about the way making process and about local Australian wine. I would recommend this to anyone!

Great experience - Such a great day with a fantastic tour guide Karen! Easy pick up and drop off location in the CBD and very comfortable travel on the mini bus. Went to some beautiful wineries and really enjoyed the 2 course lunch. Visted knowledgeable vendors throughout the day where we learnt a lot about the area and the wine. The chocolaterie was the perfect finish 😁

Fantastic Tour All Around - Sean really set the mood for the tour from the start. He was very upbeat and welcoming, kicking off the tour with comprehensive information about what to expect and important safety information. As we departed Melbourne, he pointed out key sights, described some of the history of the city, and highlighted activities that might be of interest later on during our trip. The diversity of wineries, as well as a chocolate factory and gin distillery, were fantastic and really gave a balanced introduction to the region's offerings. Lunch was top notch and truly an intimate restaurant experience. Throughout the tour, Sean was truly a guide and not just a driver. We never felt rushed or pressured to buy anything extra. He also had a fantastic sense of humor and really made an effort to engage with each member of the group, ultimately bringing the group together for a great shared experience. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Sean at the helm!
