“Beautiful! Small group. Goes to 3 wonderful unique wineries. I came straight from the airport from a 16 hour flight with no jet lag -- this was the best experience. Loved the three wineries and meeting new friends! Bought a bottle as well to bring home. Enjoy such a unique experience.”

“Ray was our tour guide and he’s amazing. Started with a free cup of coffee at Protagonist. The pickup point is easy to find at Arts Centre Melbourne. We leave on time to Arthur's seat - whereby there’s great view of the coast. Headed to Green Olive at Red Hill for our lunch. A great selection of plate & my personal favourite was the cheese plate. We chose the wine tasting paddle, 4 different glasses to chose from. Ended lunch around 2pm, heading straight to Hot Spring, our tour package includes bath robes, towel - bring your own slippers! Spent 3 hrs at the hot spring and a comfortable drive…”
Spend seven hours touring the Yarra Valley in a private vehicle with an English, Chinese, or Japanese-speaking guide. Visit Yering Station, Rochford, TarraWarra, and Chandon, with chocolate and lunch time at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie. Winery choices can be adjusted.
“The wineries we visited were all good and the lunch (not part of the tour) was good. However the guided experience was not up to par. Insufficient knowledge about the wineries and the wine region. The private car was small and cramped. Private wine tours in other countries were much better at the same cost.”
