Another fabulous booking with Viator. Stephen our guide was fantastic. Exceptional tour with ample wine tasting. We had a gourmet cheese platter at our first stop. Lunch was five star in both quality of food we had to choose from and the location. Later in the afternoon another offering of dips to have with our wine. Cannot recommend this tour enough. Well worth every dollar. Loved the small group, gave us a chance to get to know each other and hear some great stories.
We had a great time on this tour. Our guide Shane was incredible and was very knowledgeable. The winery visits were diverse and the lunch was delicious. We would highly recommend this tour!
Paul delivered an exceptional tour from start to finish and I would highly recommend this tour to everyone. Great day out! Thanks Paul.
Excellent tour, if you prefer a smaller personalised experience with really cool and informative commentary this tour is ideal. Winery selection excellent and the extra attention made one feel quite special.
This was an excellent trip with an excellent host - Adrian - would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a glass of vino. The lunch at Yerling Station was very good, it vastly exceeded my expectations!!!
If you fancy a full day of wine tasting, glorious views, friendly people and some tasty food then this is the one for you!We had a brilliant day and Steve our captain/driver kept us informed and was super polite, would recommend this super tour 100%
Top day had by my husband and myself.
Bus and Bus driver were A1 We were kept informed the whole journey. The choice of wineries was special where we met well known brands along with boutique wineries. Food was delicious even having special cheeses imported from France.
A fun filled and packed day out.
This tour was great. My tour guide and driver, Paul, was very friendly and informative. Great experience, would highly recommend it.
This tour was definitely amazing! The five differents wineries and the food was exquisted. Our tour guide did an excellent job and our group was great:). For sure it was one of my favorites!!!
This was a small group wine tour that showed not just the range of superb wines in the Yarra Valley but also the range of producer's, from small independents to large industrial sized wineries. The common factor was the sheer quality of wines on offer. We visited Coldstream Hills first with the focus on quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. Next was the small boutique Medhurst winery who had a more individual approach to their winemaking. They might just have been the most popular winery we visited. The followed the impressive Chandon winery with its large beautifully landscaped estate. We had a superb lunch at Yering Station with wine of course, followed by a tasting. Finally there was a cheese and wine tasting at De Bertoli finishing with their lovely dessert wine. Our guide was informative and importantly for us an excellent driver. This was certainly one of the highlights of our Australian trip. Highly recommended.
A great day visiting excellent wineries in the stunning Yarra Valley, sampling superb Australian wines and food.
Thanks to Steve for his very comfortable driving and knowledge throughout the day.
A must do trip!

The wineries were very good, the scenery beautiful, great lunch! and our guide was a lot of fun! I stongly recommend this tour to wine lovers!
Absolutely love this tour. I compared many tours in the market, and this one definitely provides the highest quality and variety of vineyards to visit, and the lunch was just fantastic. The guide was super helpful and knowledgeable as well. Everybody had such a great time. I highly recommend it!!
Six of us joined a tour of 10 and we had a fabulous day. Paul our tour guide was wonderful - he was knowledgeable, humorous and great company. The wineries we visited were generous and the locations picturesque. Lunch at Yerring Station was delicious - the confit salmon was sensational. Dinner that night consisted of wine and cheese purchased during the day. I am not a Chardonnay or red wine drinker - the range of lighter whites / blends were sparse however in saying this I had a wonderful day in the Yarra Valley with family and friends. Thoroughly recommended.

My friend and I thoroughly the day exploring the beautiful Yarra Valley and wineries regardless of us both not being white or red wine drinkers we definitely love our bubbles though!. Well thought out day as each stop was as good as the last and couldn't pick a favourite.
Thanks again Stephen tour guide, you were terrific!
Autumn in the Yarra Valley - breathtaking! Steven our guide was wonderful with private tasting. His extensive knowledge of the region and winemakers accessed us some rear vintages to try. Lunch at Yering Station amazing with views to match.
This was a super fun day!! We were picked up promptly by our tour driver, Paul, who was very knowledgeable and just overall fun to spend the day with! He was very kind when I realized I left my phone at the hotel blonde moment and quickly drove back to hotel so I could retrieve it! We did 5 tastings and had a delicious 5 star lunch at Yering Station! Also chese and crackers at De Bortoli Winery to end the day! Each winery welcomed us in! The tour consisted of only 3 other folks, which made for a nice time! Highly recommend this tour!
This was truly a remarkable experience with a great guide who was very knowledgable and knew how to make the most of our time. We had an AMAZING lunch.
Stephen was the best guide ever. We learned so much about the Yarra Valley and tasted some delicious wines. The lunch at Yering Station was fabulous. Loved the chips!! Thanks to Stephen we were well informed and given a great opportunity to enjoy some of Australia's great wines. Well worth the time and money.
The whole day was a wonderful experience across a great range of local wines. Paul did a fantastic job in remembering everyone's name and his knowledge and interaction throughout the day made it that much easier to relax and enjoy.
The tour was excellent with a very pleasant, knowledgeable and interesting guide. The tour was brilliantly organised with a well thought-out itinerary through very beautiful countryside. The wineries were all excellent and very varied. We enjoyed the wines, and the lunch excellent. All of the people at the wineries were very impressive talking about the wines. Also we were very impressed by the consideration shown to a disabled member of our group, We had a great day. Thank you!
