Top Melbourne Wine Tasting Tours

This was such a wonderful experience. Seeing this beautiful coastal way with a fun guide is the best. Jaimes did a great job sharing fun facts and showing us all the great stops. The nice town for lunch was cute and the walking paths around the 12 Disciples were great (although the construction made finding the entrance to Gibson stairs a bit more difficult than it usually is, I eventually got there and made it down to the beach)! A really great day trip from Melbourne that I would highly recommend.

We had a great time on our tour! Our guide from Wine & Hop Tours (I’m drawing a blank on his name - Durk?) was friendly & very informative! He kept us up-to-date on our itinerary throughout the day, as well as shared his knowledge about the nature & wildlife. We started at Puffing Billy, an hour long train ride, which was fun & the scenery was gorgeous! We had time for food (if you wanted) & to explore the nature around Emerald Lake. After, we had a bit of a drive to Phillip Island where we stopped for DELICIOUS fish & chips. We recommend Nat’s!! Next we headed to the Nobbies - absolutely stunning scenery as the sun was getting ready to set on the horizon. On our drive to the Penguin Parade we saw many geese with their chicks, black swans, & wallabies! We got to witness quite a few penguins waddling up the beach, as well as penguins in the sand dunes making their way into their burrows after sunset at the Parade - what a privilege! Overall a long, but incredible day exploring some nature & wildlife in VIC. I definitely recommend!

The tour was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Our guide was extremely friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. He gave us detailed explanations throughout the tour, which made everything very easy to understand. He also took great care of us, even preparing umbrellas when needed, and smoothly guided us to places such as the restrooms. The timing of his guidance was excellent. We were able to see many precious animals while they were active, and he knew exactly when to move on and where to go. Thanks to his experience, we could explore the zoo efficiently without feeling rushed. The lunch was also a highlight. We had a lovely meal at a beautiful restaurant, and the wine was explained to us in an interesting and easy-to-understand way. When we purchased some wine, our guide carefully stored the bottles for us so that they would not break during the tour, and handed them back to us at the end of the day. This was a very thoughtful touch and showed how much attention he paid to our comfort and belongings. It was also great meeting the other participants, who were very friendly and with whom we had some wonderful conversations. Beyond the zoo, our guide showed us wild kangaroos and some beautiful scenery, making the experience even more memorable. He continued to provide interesting commentary throughout the long drive, and despite what must have been a tiring day, he remained cheerful and welcoming from beginning to end. Overall, this was an excellent tour. The combination of knowledgeable guidance, thoughtful hospitality, beautiful scenery, wildlife, and a friendly atmosphere made it a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.
