Fantastic experience! Kurt was wonderful - engaging, funny, and an expert on wine and the flora and fauna of the region. Great experience! Highly recommended!

Only 2 wineries. First one with only one drink. Had to purchase a flight if we wanted more. Cheese was good, but no explanation or tour of making cheese. No choices for lunch, only appetizers.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the cheese and kangaroo sunset. We appreciate your comments on the wineries, lunch, and cheese tour, your insights help us improve. We hope the Yarra Valley still gave you memorable moments and would love to welcome you again!

Fantastic day with everything you could ask for. Food/scenery/champagne and wines. Plus see kangaroos in their living environment. Highly recommend. Steve was the best.

Great day out however we would have preferred more time in Chandon (to do a tasting) than the cheese place.
Helpful guide with good local knowledge.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re delighted you enjoyed the day out and appreciated the guide’s local knowledge. We’ll take note of your suggestion about spending more time at Chandon for tastings, it’s helpful input for us to consider.

Excellent tour!! The best part was actually our guide Craig who customized the tour and connected our small group. We enjoyed every bit! There were so many bonuses that made the whole experience special, like plenty of kangaroo sightings, a farm experience, and a lovely forest walk.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your glowing feedback! We’re delighted you enjoyed the Yarra Valley experience and all the special touches along the way. Craig will be thrilled to know his customized guiding and warm connection with the group made the day so memorable. We’re glad the kangaroo sightings, farm visit, and forest walk added even more magic to the tour!

This was the perfect trip to blend wine tasting, cheese and chocolate tasting and seeing loads of wild kangaroos. Curt did a great job as our guide. He was really informative about the areas and was entertaining. The van was comfortable. If you only do one tour from Melbourne, this is the one to choose.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience! We're glad you enjoyed the perfect blend of wine, cheese, and chocolate tasting, along with seeing loads of wild kangaroos. Curt sounds like an amazing guide, providing both information and entertainment. It's great to hear you found the van comfortable and that you consider this the must-do tour from Melbourne. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again for more adventures!

The Yarra Valley is a beautiful natural setting and the vinyards and their facilities are beautifully laid out and pleasant settings to try out a mind-boggling assortment of wines. The Chocolaterie is an experience in itself (though starting the day with chocolate might be a shock to the system for some). All in all, a friendly multi-national group of fellow-travellers, a knowledgeable driver and guide, and probably too much wine in one day, made for a very enjoyable tour.
John_B, Mar 2023
Great guide. Very knowledgeable about the area. Loved the winers with lots of different kinds of wine.
Azra_S, Feb 2023
Shane was an excellent guide, made our trip so much more comfortable and fun, he made sure we were comfortable at all times. Covered beautiful wineries. And he kept all of us engaging. Highly recommended this.
Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hope to see you again soon :)
Kind regards,

I had a great day. Shane provided a good overview of the Yarra Valley and the history and happenings of each venue we visited. He was engaging and entertaining. More time at the chocolaterie would have been nice.
Nicholas_H, Nov 2022
Tour guide was friendly, and the places we went were great. It was a fun group of people on the bus too which is always a bonus.
Phyllis_F, Nov 2022
The tour guide was very friendly. Nice selection of wineries. The Yarra valley chocolaterie was a good start of the tour.
Katie_H, Nov 2022
Our tour guide Craig was awesome and very knowledgeable about the area and history of Melbourne. Loved the wine tasting and the ease of getting around. Would highly recommend!

A bit disappointing. The first small issue was that the road was closed due to roadworks so we were already behind schedule. These things happen but maybe a check beforehand? We visited the chocolate factory first but the driver was already moving us along to get to our next stop which was St Hubert’s. We tasted the wines there but again it felt rushed as even the servers were saying they needed to go quicker as we were on a tight schedule. We all got back on the bus to go for lunch at Healesville but then that’s when the main event came, the bus wouldn’t start so we all got off again and in the end it was decided that we would have lunch at St Hubert’s. A little over an hour later we were back on the road and managed to get to two more wineries but looking at the tour description we didn’t have cider tastings and didn’t have local produce samples. The majority of the group were also looking forward to going to Four Pillars during our free time at Healesville however due to the bus breakdown we didn’t get to do that. The group were great but the day needed up a disappointment
Rebecca_C, Oct 2022
Pete, our driver was fun snd knowledgeable. At the Chocolate factory and each winery we were met with lovely people who shared their passion with us.
Its s great idea to have free time in Healesville for lunch. I have done a few tours and this was my favourite. Definitely recommend.
Lyn_M, Oct 2022
The tastings at Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery, wine tastings at St Hubert's and Medhurst were excellent. It would have been good to visit a place for a produce experience rather than the 3rd winery. The weather was beautiful and the Yarra Valley was green and lush, so wonderful for the occasional photo!
Yayoi_O, Oct 2022
yarra valley's landscape is very amazing view!
If you hope so, driver may stop bus to take landscape photo.
Nicole_D, Oct 2022
Chocolate factory and Healesville were awesome. Didn't like the selected wineries as much, locations exquisite just not a fan of the wines
