AI summary of 36 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the knowledgeable and personable guides, the quality of the wineries visited, and the standard of the included lunch, which is frequently described as delicious and well-presented. What stands out most often is the combination of generous wine tastings at each vineyard, the guides' humour and engaging demeanour, and the well-organised logistics of the tour, including punctual pick-up and smooth itinerary management. The most common caveat is that the lunch portion, whilst of good quality, is not particularly filling, so travellers advise eating a substantial breakfast beforehand, and a few reviewers note that a wider variety of wine styles across the wineries would be beneficial, as some found the selection leaned towards similar off-dry wines.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
A great day in the Yarra Valley with Andy and a nice group. We visited four wineries with lunch at the second. Great wines and a great experience.
Excellent value and very well run. The cellar doors were very good, lunch was excellent, and our relaxed, low-key guide kept the day running seamlessly.
If you love wine, this is the way to taste the Yarra Valley. Andy took us to four wineries and a delicious lunch was included. A wonderful day.
Andy was great, the scenery was fabulous, and lunch and the wines at that winery were excellent. The other three wineries all leaned to a similar off-dry style that didn't suit us or others we spoke to, so a wider range of styles would help.
A great day tasting wine in the Yarra Valley. Andy was fantastic, played good music when he wasn't talking and didn't over-talk. Four wineries with a good variety, a fantastic included lunch, and pick-up in central Melbourne.
A small, lovely group of 13 with Tony, who is hilarious, knowledgeable and passionate about wine, trivia and Aussie music, and even tracked down kangaroos for the overseas visitors. Four cellar doors, a delicious lunch with vineyard views, and platters at the last stop.
