We had a wonderful time at all 3 wine tastings. Yet all 3 were very different. The first was in beautiful surrounds with food as an option. I’d recommend getting as was a lonely compliment to the wines. The 2nd was much more informal and ran by a small family, very passionate about their products. The 3rd was different again, possibly abit rushed as we had taken longer at the first stop but also in lonely surroundings. Pezza, our driver and tour operator was fun and informative. Great experience. Definitely recommend

What a lovely way to spend half a day! Yarra Valley is beautiful and the wine was tasty, and we explored three very different wineries. Our guide, Mike, was awesome - very knowledgable and helpful.

Excelente actividad para una tarde. Visitamos 3 viñedos y pudimos probar varios vinos en cada uno. El último viñedo tenía una hermosa vista y pudimos quedarnos un poco más de tiempo y ver el atardecer. Nuestro guía, al parecer, era nuevo o estaba cubriendo a alguien más. Hizo su mejor esfuerzo, pero fue notable que no suele dirigir este tour. Sin embargo, se esforzó y cumplió con nuestros requerimientos. Nos gustó mucho que el tour no fuera de un día completo, porque así pudimos explorar Melbourne durante el resto del día.

Great afternoon of wine tasting. Our guide, Perry, was very personable and knowledgeable. Visited three very different wineries. All lovely. Perfect way to experience the Yarra Valley in 1/2 day. Excellent wine appetizers available for purchase. Would have been more complete to also tour a vineyard operation and/or go into the vineyard itself. Viator, please correct the tour description…the tour does not include a brunch, coffee or a gin distillery. Apparently, the local tour operator has been trying to have it corrected. Please work with them to fix it. Thanks!

It was a pleasant trip with some of Melbourne and Yarra Valley's history. The bus is very comfortable. The landscape was stunning, especially in the last place. Regarding the wine-tasting experience, we were not impressed with the first winery host as he was not mindful of how many there were and didn't make sure we had wine for the whole table and started with his speech. When we said we didn't have enough for everyone he just said "Steal it from another table" and kept talking. It seems he was rushing. The second stop was nice knowing the wine and label stories which made the experience more pleasant. The third stop was also really nice, especially for the pleasant view.

Long drive. I suggest that drivers are reminded that the trip in the vehicle is part of the experience. Our driver was somewhat unaware that his driving style was in comfortable.
