Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the stunning scenery and found your driver punctual, respectful, and safe throughout the day. It's also great to know the beautiful landscapes helped make the experience memorable.
While we're pleased you enjoyed many aspects of the tour, we're sorry we didn't quite deliver the five-star experience we strive for. A 3 star score doesn't quite seem aligned with your comments, but we appreciate you travelling with us and thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Had a wonderful Grazing tour with Mel and our gang of six! Mel was absolutely delightful and was both informative and amusing! Would definitely recommend this Tour and Mel!
Great tour for an all round experience in the Yarra valley. Great for a group who like different aspects as you get wine, gin, pizza, cheese, chocolate and coffee with views!
Tour guide was very friendly and informative also. Highly recommend.
Beautiful landscape, delicious food and drinks. My favorite was the chocolate tasting and the flat white coffee. I also enjoyed petting the sheep, tasting the delicious cheeses at the dairy farm.
Great day tour, David our tour guide was friendly and looked after all of us well will do this tour again in the future
Joined the Yarra Valley Grazing Tour Wine, Cheese, Gin, Pizza from Melbourne, which was a really fun tour, especially with guide Michael who is fun, cheerful, and look after all of us in details! He showed his passion to the area. The tour is well organized, and provided a good idea to us about the Yarra Valley, and not limited to wine only.

Thanks so much for your review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a fun day on your Yarra Valley Grazing tour and that Michael’s cheerful energy and passion for the region made it even more special. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the mix of wine, cheese, gin and pizza — it really is a great way to sample the very best of the Yarra Valley. Having now experienced this tour with us, we’d love to welcome you back another time to try out one of our other day trips from Melbourne, such as the Great Ocean Road & 12 Apostles tour or our Phillip Island Penguin Parade tour. Don’t forget we also operate spectacular tours to the Grampians National Park. Thanks again for your kind words & very best wishes for your onward journey.
A easy and enjoyable way to have a taste of what delights the Yarra Valley has to offer. The guide was professional, warm and friendly and very accommodating
Great day exploring the Yarra Valley with a fun, informative driver. Would recommend to family and friends
Awesome trip, Jools and Numnuts were great, Jools was super friendly and fun. She was knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed all the tastings and having the chance to chat to the producers.
The tour operator, James C was very attentive to all the tour participants. He really enhanced my trip to Australia this time.
A really varied experience, wine, gin, pizza, cheese, coffee and chocolate, excellent guides, even saw a couple of ‘mobs’ of kangaroo
An excellent trip.Very varied and informative and enjoyable.
Looked after well by Jono and trainee Lisa.
We had a lovely day exploring the Yarra valley. It was so pretty and we got to enjoy wine, gin, cheese and chocolate tasting! Our tour guide was Lucy and she took great care of us! By the way the lunch at the winery was delicious!
Very enjoyable, unique experience. The variety of tastings was great. The small group gave time to chat with everyone on the tour. Big plus for the wifi on the bus!! Terry our tour guide was upbeat and informative. Highly recommend.
We had a great day with Alex as our tour guide. She was friendly and knowledgeable. We alternated activity with food and drink which was a great balance to savor each. The smaller group see is also essential. We met the farmer/owner of the dairy and tasted some of their amazing cheese. We had a chocolate tasting of 12 different samples which was a great way to know which to bring home (and I surprised myself woth the berry/lavender!) I think the biggest bonus foe us that day was being redirected to Stag Horn distillery as the bigger option had to close for a lack of water. Stag Horn has 4 very different, passionately made gins with fresh herbs and a story for each. Even if you're not a "gin person " you should at least try them because they are so different. I wish I could have brought back something from everywhere we stopped, of course including the wineries! This was a really great yarra valley tour!

Thanks so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that you had such a great day with Aleks as your guide and that the balance of activities, food, and drink made for an unforgettable experience. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the stops, especially the tasting at the dairy farm and the chocolate samples—you never know which flavors will surprise you! It’s great that you had the chance to visit Stag Horn distillery as well. The unique gins and fresh herb infusions are definitely something special! We’re thrilled to know you had such a memorable time in the Yarra Valley. We’d love to have you join us again on one of our other Melbourne day trips, like the Great Ocean Road tour or perhaps our Phillip Island Penguin Parade tour. Don’t forget we also offer amazing tours to the Grampians National Park! Thanks again for your kind words, and we wish you all the best for your future travels!
Great day out with very tasty wines, gins and food !
Really interesting and great to visit the different producers!
Our guide (Michael) was very informative and great company!
Highly recommended day out for any visitor to the area!
Very lovely day with Jacqui exploring the Yara Valley. Good mixture of wine and food tasting. If you're debating between this and other tours, I highly recommend this tour!
The tour was great due to our guide Mark. There were two wineries, a chocolate maker, a gin distillery, and lunch. If you have an available day, I’d recommend this tour. Our guide Mark was extremely knowledgeable, fun, animated and a pleasure to listen to (facts and stories).
Varied selection of tastings including wine, gin, cheese and chocolate. Very well managed time wise.
Our tour guide Chris H made our entire trip very very enjoyable! He keeps you entertained with his funny jokes and good music through out the trip in the bus.
He even offered to drop us back near to our place which was very helpful as we have a baby and the bus couldn’t fit a stroller.
Highly recommend this tour where you get to experience the amazing Yarra wine tours followed by ice cream and chocolate excursions!
At the yarra chocolatier, we even got to learn about chocolate making which was pretty fascinating!!

Bluey our tour guide was excellent. The day just went along at a perfect pace. All the tour stops were a joy and just the right time at each. Notable standouts were Balgownie Wines and the Chocolate Factory. We, along with other guests felt very included in everything.
A great tour if you want a mix of food & beverages. Tastings were good. Lunch was tasty & promptly served. Our tour guide Tim was fun & knowledgeable. Enjoyable for visitors and even locals like us.
Very enjoyable tour, highly recommended for any fans of gin and wine. Tasty meal and chocolate and cheese tasting also. Our tour guide Bluey was very entertaining and looked after us very well.
Budgie was a great tour guide, educated us about farming in Yarra Valley and we got to meet small family owned producers of win, cheese and chocolates. We even got to meet Sophie the sheep! Budgie was informative, accommodating and a great guide!
Excellent itinerary! Lunch was beautiful. Jon was a great tour guide and our last stop at the Chocolate Factory was a perfect way to end our day! Would definitely do this tour again next time we are in Melbourne!
What a great time we had. Be prepared for mostly dry wine but Rochford Winery did present a good sweet wine and a delicious lunch. Ending with a chocolate tasting was the perfect way to end the day.
Simply one of the best experiences in Melbourne. Yarra Valley Winery Tours not to be missed. Our guide was amazing she is friendly and pleasant and drove us through the best route travelling through denningdon ranges, beautiful sight. Wines were great and lunch was good too.Thank you!
The tour director ( Chris) was very pleasing, knowledable and safe ( Chris made sure that all passengers wore their seat belts as is the Australian law.
Chris did not overtalk- he gave us the facts and then returned to playing music.
The places that we visited were very pleasant.
We were never rushed and Chris gave us a time at each stop that we had to return to the bus.
Our favourites were the cheese dairy, Balgownie Estate and Four Pillars Gin Distillery.
Overall a very pleasant day and would highly recommend this day tour to other visitors to Melbourne.
A very nice day with Go West tours, specially with our guide Graeme.
It would be even better if we have had a visit to the barricas, or the winery and gyn fabrication process.
