This tour experience was amazing. Could not have spent this money any better. Not only did we get to see 3 lovely wineries and sample (a lot) of great wine and gin, but we also got to make stops to a local farm for some fresh produce and ended the day with delicious chocolate tasting! But, Rick was what really makes this tour what it is. He is delightful to chat with and is a great guide. Rick makes the trip even more fun (hard to believe a wine trip can be even more fun, but that’s just how great Rick is). If you’re wanting to do a Yarra Valley wine tour, book through Rick, you will not regret it!!

Rick and Bernie were the most knowledgeable and friendly guides we have met. It wasn’t the best of weather and one of the wineries actually got flooded. Thanks to Rick’s swift connection, we were able to visit another reputable winery at a short notice. We really had a great time and would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in knowing about the Yarra Valley wines and having a delicious lunch. Fresh fruit and produces at the Yarra Fresh Farm and chocolate tasting at the chocolatier were also enjoyable.

Loved it! Thanks Rick - Awesome day out, highly recommend it. I loved every minute of it, from fruit & chocolate tasting to a fantastic lunch, gin, whiskey & wine sampling tour, what more could you ask for.

Excellent tour! We had a terrific day there, and we were fortunate to have Rick as our tour guide. He knows a lot about Melbourne and the Yarra Valley's history. Throughout our journey, we discovered some fascinating historical facts.

The trip was perfect, lots of wine tasting, different takes and perspectives on the history of wine in the region, the option of a gin tasting along with a visit to a local fruit farm and a chocolate factory towards the end of the tour. What made the tour extra special was the tour guide and absolute legend that is Bernie, the man is informative, friendly and above all exceptionally funny and our group of 9 loved him. Any trip with Bernie is a sure fire winner!

We had an awesome day, starting with our Driver Dirk who was wonderful, friendly and a very interesting person to talk to. The stops were all amazing and despite a rainy overcast day, everyone had a blast. I would recommend Rick's tours to anyone 5+ stars.

The driver/tour guide is really funny, helped our group to get to know each other, and he is super friendly, trying to help us out as much as he can. However, the vineyard that was picked is not really fit our flavour. Out of all three vineyard we visited, only one vineyard got the better wine. But the remains visit, like the farm and the chocolate place is pretty good to visit.
