“This tour was a good way to sample the many offerings of Yarra Valley.

Lunch and a glass of wine are included, with guides such as Sandy, Tony, Peter, and Gerry often leading the trip.

“Great guide who was very knowledgeable (Tony) with great little wineries and a focus on learning and comparing. It's a bit more expensive than some of the other tours but very good value for money and if you look at what you get this is actually less pricey, as you get much more, if you're going for the wines and to learn. Felt very safe and very included, but of course it will be a bit different with every group. I would 100% recommend this tour. Thank you!!!”
