This is the perfect wine tour! Ian our guide was the best wine tour guide we have ever had. His local knowledge and easy going manner was a great match. The choice of wineries was superb.

Do not book with Viator. Book direct with Chillout Tours. On the tour with Chillout Tours we visited 4 fantastic vineyards and had a lovely lunch at the Soumah vineyard. Great day out but please avoid Viator when booking instead book direct with Chillout tours. Viator charges an extra Aud 50 per person without informing you when booking. This provides flexible booking but this is not explained when booking. This transparency is missing so you sign up for a tour paying extra for something you know nothing about when booking which is why avoid viator and sign up direct with Chillout tours an independent operator who provide small personalised hours to all the wine regions in Victoria.

Very good tour and Ian was an excellent tour guide. Great lunch at Soumah along with wine tastings. Nice views on the road, even though the weather didn't fully coooerate
Andrea_M, Aug 2025
Great day out visiting the wineries which included a fabulous lunch at Soumah. Our tour guide, Ian, was very informative and provided lots of facts and entertainment on the trip, some of us even got a free bus ride home, answering his quiz questions. Great fun and a highly recommended trip!
Mandy_L, Jul 2025
We had a fabulous day and Ian was a great host with a wealth of knowledge and he even took us to see some kangaroos in the wild which was a wonderful add on. Highly recommended and the wine farm sommeliers were equally knowledgeable with fabulous wines
Kari_T, Apr 2025
Great tour. Chandon winery was our favorite. Lunch was delicious. Be prepared for a lot of wine tasting.
Leanne_O, Feb 2025
Soumah was the standout vineyard on this tour, exceptional lunch. Disappointing last two wineries, for the amount of $, the tour was overpriced
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you, Leanne, for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that Soumah made such a positive impression and that you enjoyed the exceptional lunch. We're sorry to hear that your experience at the last two wineries didn't meet your expectations.

We had a very nice time and met some great people from around the globe. Ian, our driver was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the day. Each of the wineries offered a little different experience so that added to the experience. I would recommend this tour.
CORINA_B, Dec 2024
Lovely small group wine tasting consisting of 2 bigger and 2 smaller boutique wineries. The lunch at Soumah (winery #3) was spectacular. Bonus was that we spotted kangaroos in the wild.
Paige_M, Nov 2024
Lovely wine tour with a delicious lunch along the way. Tour guide made sure we even got some kangaroo glimpses.
Helen_H, Feb 2024
Loved the diversity of all of the wineries we visited. From rustic to modern and new, each location was lovely and enjoyable. Lunch was delicious.
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars, is we would have preferred to go to one less winery and have more time to relax and enjoy the 3 wineries. We felt just a bit rushed.
Adam_H, Jan 2024
The day was well paced and our guide Ian was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a beautifully relaxed way to see the gorgeous Yarra valley.
Gabrielle_D, Jan 2024
Ian was such a great tour guide and driver! My mother and I had an absolutely amazing time and lucked up with great weather and a wonderful group along with Ian leading us. He was very knowledgeable and funny - we really enjoyed our day and the wines. The wineries themselves were beautiful and the tastings delicious. Lunch was also lovely though I'd have to recommend the fish over the pasta. Really enjoyed the day - it was all seamless and a great way to explore the Yarra Valley.
Julian_W, Dec 2023
Ian was fantastic and informative as a guide and driver. Good stuff! We will definitely recommend this to others!
Shu_T, Dec 2023
This Yarra Valley winery tour left me absolutely impressed! The tour covered four fantastic wineries, including the renowned Chandon. Each stop offered a unique and delightful tasting experience, showcasing the region’s diverse wine offerings. The Soumah lunch was a culinary delight! With options like chicken, salmon, beef ragu, and a tasty vegetarian dish, the menu showcased quality and creativity.
The breathtaking scenery of the Yarra Valley combined with the expert guidance from our tour host made this an unforgettable day.
Marjolein_I, Nov 2023
Yering farm, Helen and Joeys, Soumah and Chandon were great experiences. In addition, we saw some Kangaroos. Nice group and a nice driver.
Erika_P, Apr 2021
Really nice experience the only bad thing Viator offered the tour including Chandon winery but that place is not accepting public tours due Covid so it was a big disappointment. However we enjoyed the tour, the view and the tastings.
Response from Host, Apr 2021
Great to hear that had a great time. Sorry you missed out on Domaine Chandon. We have been waiting for Domaine to open to tour but at this stage they still are closed.
Eric_C, Mar 2020

happytay, Jan 2020
We were excited for the get go and our tour guide knew that and greeted us with a great big welcome. Entertained and amazed by the scenery along the way, the wine stops were so much fun and lots of wine to be had. Lunch was beautiful, then to follow at the next stop some amazing cheeses. Would highly recommend, they are very generous with the wine :)

Response from Host, Aug 2019
Thanks for the wonderful review. It is great to hear you had such a good time.
Daniel_H, Aug 2019
Lovely day trip to Yarra Valley. Our guide took us on a more scenic route to escape the expressway which was much appreciated. Visited 4 wineries with a mix of small boutique family owned and larger wineries like Domaine Chandon. Lunch was very good and the cheese matches at De Bortli was a highlight. Our guide David was very knowledgeable, friendly and an all round outstanding host. Highly recommend this tour.
