    Great Trip!

  • 20-Mar-2018

    A fabulous day out. No guide to get you to swirl the wine etc. Just a lovely drive in a classic car, with a great driver nd a wonderful set of wineries. Due to bad weather in the UK we had to reschedule our trip and took it on Monday 19 March, but this was not an issue. Not the cheapest tour but worth every penn y! Highly recommended.

  • 25-Feb-2018

    We went on the all includive wine tour and had so much fun. Our driver Mark was very knowledgeable about the Yarra Valley.

    We had so much fun. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Excellent tour, we got to spend the time we wanted at each winery and not feel rucshed. Our tour guide was incredible.

  • 25-Dec-2017

    Mark was fanatic! He shared information along the way on sites and was just a great easy going person. We were able to do 3 wineries and if you are a cheese fan I highly recommend De Botolis. Their goat cheese is to die for. Cruising in the convertible was awesome. About an hour trip to the first winery so just right! Thanks again for a great time!

    We had a fantastic time and our guide was the best. The drive was relaxing as the driver new the Valley so well and was a very good driver. Went to some great wineries and enjoyed a love lunch. We would go again in a heart beat.

    Mark was a really great guide for the Yarra Valley wineries. Very entertaining and very accommodating. He even circled back to one of the earliest wineries we visited so that we could make a purchase there after sampling wine at 3 other places. Although it was too cool to put the top down, enjoyed riding in his vintage car. Highly recommend including this in your Melbourne experience.

    These two senior citizens felt like teenagers buzzing along in a classic Chevy convertible. The valley is is a scenic, peaceful drive, especially with the top down on the Chevy. We visited three wineries and a brewery and had a delicious lunch board at one of the wineries. Our driver/guide, Emma, was an accommodating, professional, and knowledgeable person and it was a joy to spend the day with her. This tour is highly recommended. The only negative very minor was they did not pickup/drop-off at the South Wharf Hilton.
    Take this tour!

    A completely wonderful day. Our driver/guide Emma made it a really special day. She is a lovely lady. These two seniors felt young again, buzzing around in a classical Chevy convertible! We visited 3 wineries and 1 brewery. And... She took us to a cheese factory. The luncheon was light and exquisite. We were disappointed that were not picked up nor dropped at the Hilton South Wharf.
