Had a great lunch and the very nice wines. Terry was knowledgeable and funny and made sure we saw kangaroos. The scenery was absolutely stunning. Highly recommend this tour.

Lindsay_I

Matt our guide was awesome! He had great energy and gave us some facts about the valley! Balgownie had fantastic, high quality wine and lunch - definitely the best spot! The wine at the other wineries was ok but the vineyards and farms were beautiful and it was a great day!!!

Claire_T

The overall experience of the Yarra Valley Wine and Winter Tour was positive. Was there things the tour company could have done better? Yes and we will get to a couple of recommendations shortly. The pick up at selected locations in Melbourne went smoothly. When the 20 or so passenger coach arrived we noticed it wasn't a late model year vehicle. In fact it looked rather dated but the seats were comfortable, the ventilation system worked, and the sound over the public address system was clear. Our coach driver was Gary and that is what he did. He drove the coach. From the last pick up location to the first wine tasting is around an hours drive through the city of Melbourne, then the outskirts of the city, and then into the wine country. A pleasant drive with varying scenery. The wine tour consists of four different wineries with a very nice lunch prepared at the second winery. All of the wineries provide a nice narrative of their different wines. All of them gave us a nice sampling of their wines. Since everyone's taste is different we'll defer preferring one winery over another and suffice to say each was unique in their own way. The weather with intermittently overcast with periodic scatter showers and blustery winds. This didn't allow us to enjoy much of the outdoor facilities available. The scenery from the coach was nice and allowed those wishing to take photos to snap away. The question is what could have gone differently to change the rating from 4 stars to 5 stars. The answer is Gary. He was the coach driver and performed those tasks to an exceptional high standard. During the over the an hour drive to the first winery and again in the over an hour drive back from the last winery he offered no information about the wine region or any other general information about the Yarra Valley or Melbourne area. He did allow us to listen to his favorite talk radio station. No music or just turn the radio off to have silence. Had Gary offered some informative information going to or returning from the wineries the overall experience would have been heightened. Perhaps we are spoiled by having done many other coach tours with guide/driver who provide general information about the local area and insights on what we have to look forward to as the day progresses. Did we get what we paid for? Yes. Could the experience been heightened? Yes, without a great deal of extra effort. Would we recommend the same tour to friends? Yes, with the caveat to be forewarned about Gary.

Everyone at the wineries was so nice and friendly and each place we visited was a little different and unique in its own way. Our driver was very friendly and kept us entertained with banter and little bits of I formation throughout the day, very enjoyable indeed and would highly recommend.

This is one for the white wine and light red drinkers! We had great weather for the tour and the views were stunning. The wines were fine but, being a ‘full bodied’ wine fan, I learnt more about what I don’t like than what I do and didn’t spend my wine budget. I did walk away with some great cider, though, that was a nice surprise! Lunch was good but I would have liked some choice with the glass of wine served at lunch (maybe choose the one we liked best at the tasting?). The final stop, Soumah, gave very small tastings - as other reviewers have mentioned - only 1cm and not enough to really taste properly. Overall a pleasant day out.

Margaret_C

A good sample of vineyards - from family run to resort style. The wines offered and explained to us showed what to expect in the region Lunch at Balgownie was a highlight.

Denise_D

Tony was a great driver, very entertaining and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the winery’s and food. Scenery beautiful.

Kirk_F

This was a wonderful tour through the Yarra valley. Each winery had its own small unique feel. Lunch at Balgownie was delicious. The resort was also beautiful. A great place to stay the next time we are in this area. The guide was also very entertaining and provided very interesting info about the wine tasting.

Nancy_M

Tony gave a great tutorial in the art of tasting wine. He is well versed in the wine industry, was personable and thoughtful with all of us on the tour. Definitely would recommend Tony's tour.
