We do the Yarra the way you want it! Not pretentious, no boring guides, no schedule...We decide where we go based on everyone's input at the beginning. For people who don't take wine too seriously!

Highlights

  • Visit 4x wineries in the beautiful Yarra Valley!
  • The itinerary for the day is based on everyone’s tastes and preferences
  • Enjoy lunch at St Huberts Estate and ‘Quarters’ - at your own expense
  • Visit Helen and Joey’s Estate, Yering Farm Wines, Four Pillars and Yarra Valley Chocolaterie!
  • This experience caters to small groups, with a maximum of 11 guests per tour

We'll pick you up in the morning and focus on everyone getting to know each other. We get everyone to add to a Spotify playlist so we have some tunes and spend the first hour just chatting! The key is to find out what everyone's wants from this trip. Do we have wine experts? Do we have carefree wine lovers, Do we have gin or beer lovers? Lets adjust the day accordingly... we can accommodate everything from the wine genius to the first timer!

Feel free to BYO drinks for the drive in and out, it's that kind of laid back trip! We'll stop at four places, each consisting of 6-7 tastings. I have a bunch of wineries that I know you'll love and will go to them if no-one is too picky, however, I make sure I listen to the group.

Everything we do on the trip is discussed by the group in the morning. The group will have options to choose from including 50-70 different wineries, cheese factories, and chocolate factories, cider houses, restaurants, and breweries. We'll go to 4 of these places, however, if we choose the gin distillery, brewhouse or a restaurant there may be added expenses.

If you just want to come along and put your trust in me, we will visit four unique wineries, all with a point of difference, with a 45 minute stop at St Huberts Estates 'Quarters' restaurant where everyone will be able to order and pay their own way with lunch.

We'll also go for a search for Kangaroos in a secret spot I know of if there are some international tourists.

Terrific winery tour!

I’ve been on a few wine tours but none was as good as this! Definitely highly recommend- great value for money. Andrew was an exceptional guide - he made the experience worthwhile. It was truly a genuine experience - from the interaction with Andrew and the other tourists to the wine, gin and chocolate tasting - absolutely fantastic! Thank you Andrew - a wine tour to remember 🍷☺️.

Perfectly organised

This was an amazing tour! Communication was great from the night before till drop off at the end of the day. Music playlist was great, and such a nice touch to be able to make it our own. We visited a good amount of places for tasty wine and lunch, and each spot was accommodating to us. My highlight was Hubert estate for lunch and then Four Pillars for gin. Was blown away by the views and interiors at every spot! Can’t wait to come along again. Thank you!

Book me is disappointing

Do not book through book me. They didn't communicate ny order and messed me around waiting for a bus that did not have me booked and left an hour before my confirmation email told me to be there. The tour guide was apologetic saying that book me has messed then around before and said that they would give me a refund
