This is the tour for people who don't take wine too seriously!

Highlights

  • Visit 4x wineries in the beautiful Yarra Valley!
  • The itinerary for the day is based on everyone’s tastes and preferences
  • Enjoy lunch at St Huberts Estate and ‘Quarters’ - at your own expense
  • Visit Tokar Estate, Yering Farm Wines, Four Pillars and Yarra Valley Chocolaterie!
  • This experience caters to small groups, with a maximum of 20 guests per tour , however we occasionally do smaller vans of 11 seats.

We'll pick you up in the morning and focus on everyone getting to know each other. We get everyone to add to a Spotify playlist so we have some tunes and spend the first hour just chatting! The key is to find out what everyone's wants from this trip. Do we have wine experts? Do we have carefree wine lovers, Do we have gin or beer lovers? Lets adjust the day accordingly... we can accommodate everything from the wine genius to the first timer!

Feel free to BYO drinks for the drive in and out, it's that kind of laid back trip! We'll stop at four places, each consisting of 6-7 tastings. I have a bunch of wineries that I know you'll love and will go to them if no-one is too picky, however, I make sure I listen to the group.

Everything we do on the trip is discussed by the group in the morning. The group will have options to choose from including 50-70 different wineries, cheese factories, and chocolate factories, cider houses, restaurants, and breweries. We'll go to 4 of these places, however, if we choose the gin distillery, brewhouse or a restaurant there may be added expenses.

If you just want to come along and put your trust in me, we will visit four unique wineries, all with a point of difference, with a 45 minute stop at St Huberts Estates 'Quarters' restaurant where everyone will be able to order and pay their own way with lunch.

We'll also go for a search for Kangaroos in a secret spot I know of if there are some international tourists.

It was a super fun experience. The staff were very patient and kind, even with my 85-year-old grandmother, which we truly appreciated. We sang, laughed, and drank lots of wine 🍷. The food at the restaurant was delicious. We decided to skip the chocolate experience, but we still enjoyed everything else very much. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and definitely highly recommended.

Fabulous day out

We had the best day with our tour guide, Callum, and the awesome group of people on our tour. The wines and gins were great, as well as the foods we experienced. If you have the time, make this a "must do" Melbourne experience.

Left feeling disappointed

This tour started off well, but then fell flat. Our lunch order was mucked up which left our time there rushed. The chocolate factory was a complete bore (the chocolate wasn't even great quality) Our driver Matt was brilliant and the only saving grace I'm afraid. Generally we left feeling disappointed
