Overview

Calling all tastebud explorers for a one-day perfect combo, of travel and taste, as we sample our way through the stunningly exquisite Yarra Valley. As we get to sip award-winning wines, be surrounded by spectacular landscapes and vineyard views.

Our day starts with chocolate tastings at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice-Creamery. Guests will have the pleasure of visiting three boutique wineries and cellar-door estates. In some cases, our itinerary and winery stops will need to be modified due to unforeseen circumstances, such as group sizes, special events and cellar-door closures.

We’ve added free time in Healesville, for guests to grab lunch and explore the gateway town to the Yarra Valley. This tour has been designed for our guests to be able to see the Yarra Valley through local eyes rather than being shuttled from one winery to another.

This unique wine tour explores all the treasures of the Yarra Valley district in a relaxed small group environment of around 20 persons.

Reviews

We loved it!
Sonia_C, 19-12-2022
Air-conditioned minibus picked us up at Ringwood Station and about 20 of us enjoyed visiting the Yarra Valley chocolaterie and having three wine tastings. Lunch was at Healesville and not included in the tour cost - this is the only drawback as the description was not fully clear about lunch. However the brewery in Healesville was a great place to have some beer tasting and pizza. Good communication from bus driver throughout the day and we are grateful to him for dropping us off closer to home rather than Ringwood. We visited St Hubert's, Boat O'Craigo and Medhurst. Thank you to the tour company for a smoothly run lovely day out.
Amazing Yarra Valley Wine Tour

The driver was lovely, the wine was delicious and so was the chocolate. Cannot recommend this tour enough. You will meet some incredible people too. For my first tour experience, it was amazing

Fantastic tour! We loved the St. Huberts Cellar door wine tasting and the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie the best. Shane was an excellent guide as well. If we were to change anything, we would have added a stop to try cheeses too (or had a cheese/charcuterie included with the wine tasting). Overall, it was well worth the money and I would recommend it!
Fantastic day out

Fantastic day, couldn’t have asked for more! The wineries, wine tasting and views were incredible and our guide Madge was great! Would recommend this to anyone wanting to explore the Yarra Valley wineries :)
Great tour and guide

Shane was an amazing guide and took us to 3 fantastic vinyards! Medhurst vinyard - our last stop was definitly my favourite. Our first stop was at a choclate factory where we got a tasting and even though I told myself not to buy anything I couldn't resist..

It got a bit stressful at times where we had to rush off to the next spot. Wouldn't have minded a longer stay at each location, with time to have a walk around or sit in the sun for a minute.

Overall a great tour and we got the luck of spendning it with a great group of people, that even contained a proposal! All the best to the happy two <3
Will absolutley recomend this tour!
Disappointed
Mark T, 07-01-2023
We are disappointed with the tour. The visit to the Chocolaterie was very rushed with no time allowed to get a coffee or hot chocolate with the couples that did waiting excessive amounts of time to get served. This made us late to the next winery. Was then rushed a bit at St Huberts however the wine tasting was very professional and very well done.

We then rushed again to our lunch break in Healesville where our time in the town was cut down by 15 minutes to catch up on time. Somehow this did not help as the tour guide noted on several occasions that we were still behind time.

We then proceeded to Medhurst and Fergusson wineries for our next tastings. Both wineries seemed to not very interested in our tour.

Medhurst made (16 pax) us stand at the counter in an area that would only comfortably fit 4 people when all of the tables and chairs were vacant and in fact there was no one in the winery at the time.

When we arrived at Fergusson we were shuffled into the cellar door and we waited for about 5 minutes with no service with the tour guide finally going to the staff to see “what was going on”. They sent a young lady to serve us who was disinterested and gave no commentary about the wines at all and made us feel like we were just an annoyance. Again we were all made to stand and pass out the wines to everyone in a muddled group.

I mentioned this to the tour guide who said that this is just they way they do it. This is quite amazing as we have been to most of the wine regions in Australia and have never been treated this way when going to a winery.

We were made to feel like we did not matter and second class as we were on a wine tour. Tour guide did not really seem too interested in remedying the issue and we just felt like she just wanted to get the tour done and go home.
