Super fun. Tour guide Andrew makes the day your own. Great group all out for a fun experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A great day out. The wineries were picturesque with personal service. Yering Farm was a little piece of Australian rural life. The wines were good. My daughter and I particularly enjoyed Four Pillars Gin Distillery as we are "gin connoisseurs" LOL. Matt was an informative and cheerful guide who engaged well with our very multicultural group. It was great that those who didn't want gin or chocolates could do wineries instead, so all needs were met. There was also a choice of lunch venues. We loved ours at Huberts - I had a wonderful prawn pasta with a pino gris. The chocolate stop at the end was fun with a wide selection of made on the premises chocolate products. We shared a 2 Scoop waffle cone icecream - salted caramel and pistachio that was enormous & delicious! All up highly recommended.

Matt was amazing! He celebrated my birthday by getting everyone to sing for me and another guest, which made us feel really valued. He also recommended great drinks and food. Would definitely recommend!

What an absolutely incredible day on our Yarra Valley wine tour! The whole experience had such an amazing vibe from start to finish — relaxed, fun, and perfectly organized. Every winery and distillery we visited was beautiful, and the atmosphere throughout the day made it feel really special.
The service was excellent, and everything ran so smoothly. A huge shoutout to Andrew, who made the day unforgettable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having an awesome time. His energy and passion really made the experience next level.
If you’re thinking about doing a wine/gin tour in the Yarra Valley, I couldn’t recommend this enough. Fantastic wine, great people, excellent service, and an all-around amazing day. Can’t wait to do it again

Outstanding tour with great venues (wineries + distillery) providing a good variety of wines & gins to try.
I would highly recommend this TeePee Tour to anyone looking for a “laid back” experience in the Yara Valley!!
The tour start to finish was incredibly professional, great communication from Andrew on pick up location and details about the tour itself, and nothing but excellent customer service throughout.
Our tour guide for the day, Matt, is an incredible guy who made the experience a memorable one. He shared his knowledge about the area and venues; however did not continuously natter for the sake of it. Matt also answered questions thoroughly, ensured everyone felt welcome on the tour, and accommodated late minutes requests from parties on the tour. His driving was very professional and we felt safe at all times.
The wineries provided a rounded tasting experience, giving good sample sizes of each wine on the itinerary, plus a few bonus samples of additional wines available for those who had a particular interest in other available options the winery had on offer. All without being pretentious, or making people feel they had to be a wine snob to enjoy the experience.
Lunch at Hubert Estate was delicious, the pizza was delicious and perfectly timed to help soak up the alcohol consumed in the morning, ready for gin tasting in the afternoon (or wine tasting instead of gin if preferred).
The chocolatiers to finish allowed the tour to be more than simply “wine tasting”, but an introduction into what the Yara Valley has to offer.
There is an option to only go to wine venues throughout for those who only want to sample wine; but personally the blend of wineries, a distillery and the chocolate factory did not over stimulate the taste buds or make confuse the tastings… which will allow for further purchases from the venues directly for the wines/gins we liked.
Huge thank you to Andrew for all the comms and work put into the itinerary; and a bigger thank you to Matt for making the day a great one!

Excellent win tour. Very relaxed, goes to all the good spots. No fancy business. Tour guid is a joker.
Jeanne_B, Feb 2026
Highly recommend this tour! Our guide Matt was excellent. He kept everything fun and on track. The tour was exactly as described. We had a one hour drive to the valley, and our first winery. After that, each stop was just minutes away. Beautiful scenery and delicious wines! We especially liked that options were presented so that everyone had a great time.
Rita_C, Feb 2026
Best value and excellent trip. Our driver Callum very nice and funny. The trip arrangement was great. Enough wine to taste. Recommend!
Juhee_L, Feb 2026
I had a wonderful time with the team, especially Callum. He was very friendly and energetic, and I really appreciated how he played everyone’s song recommendations during the tour. The wineries were impressive, and the chocolate tour was surprisingly enjoyable as well!
William_B, Feb 2026
Had an excellent day wine tasting. Callum was a great guide and the trip was perfectly paced. Highly recommend.
Julie_A, Jan 2026
Relaxed day experiencing the Yarra Valley. Very flexible and adaptable to individuals. The day was the perfect pace and not rushed at all. Great host who is knowledgeable and friendly (talented with the guitar too!) - thanks for a great day Andrew!
Elizabeth_R, Jan 2026
Communication was absolutely excellent. I also loved that there was a Spotify playlist that the group could contribute to. However, the wineries were not very personable. There were pours and a couple liners. However, little to no information about the history of the area, the vineyard, etc. This was the same for the gin and chocolate. I would have loved to have known where I was other than the surface level information. This is part of what being a traveler is about. The hosts at each location did not appear to want to engage or seemed to busy to engage in this conversation as well. I traveled solo and felt very alone for the ride and first vineyard. There were no introductions led by the trip leader and the people kept to their small groups. As the wine flowed people did chat a bit more. Somewhat in awe of me traveling solo which is bizarre this day and age. This odd welcome began on the sidewalk while waiting to check in as I was not acknowledged for some time and even had both leaders walk away to the vans leaving me alone on the sidewalk without saying they would be back. Being conscious of behavior is important.

Out guide Matt, was very good at providing options for anyone who asked his advice on visits to other places, venues while making sure the tour we were on proceeded as planned and we had all the information to thoroughly enjoy it.
Michelle_W, Jan 2026
Andrew responds to questions quickly, and Peter (the tour guide) is informative and attentive, and has an incredible sense of how the group is feeling and adjusts accordingly. Would absolutely recommend this tour. The Yering Farm’s wine and cider are our family’s absolute favourite of the day.
Jessica_F, Jan 2026
Matt form TeePee was an absolute legend! The tour was exceptionally well curated, and his deep knowledge of the region and every place we visited truly elevated the experience. He went above and beyond to support everyone in the group and was always friendly, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. The collaborative Spotify playlist was such a thoughtful touch and made the journey even more memorable. Highly recommend TeePee and this to anyone wanting a truly outstanding tour experience.

Well done Matt and Teepee Tours
Martin_J, Dec 2025
I would never recommend this tour provider! The attitude, disrespect and rudeness was something I’ve never experienced before. Awful! Avoid at all costs.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hey Martin
Do you mind giving some context? We don't have any record of your booking and don't believe you ever dealt with us? Would be more than happy to discuss what made you feel so strongly about our tour. Could you be mistaking us with another operator? Feel free to reach out to info@teepeetours.com
Timothy_F, Nov 2025
This was a great tour for wine and chocolate lovers. More importantly, you get a chance to see the ranches and vineyards of southern Australia. We were blessed with a beautiful day, a great group of men and women and Callum. It was well worth the time and money for such a great day!
nextone92, Nov 2025
Beautiful views, generous tastings, what else can you ask for? Super easy pickup logistics, our tour guide was super friendly and even took a small detour to see local wildlife at the end of the trip. There are plenty of stops and bathrooms in case you’re wondering if it’s okay to have a large breakfast beforehand.
Sara_G, Nov 2025
I cannot recommend this tour enough. Andrew was phenomenal. I've been to a ton of wineries so it was refreshing to try the wines with some tasting notes and interesting facts about the wines we were drinking. Super laid back setting which also was very different than other wine tours I've been on. I think the most unique factor was the flexibility that the tour provides. It was able to adjust around individual's desires with ease. Bonus, was being able to see kangaroos at the last winery! Thank you, Andrew, for a great tour and some core memories.
