Laid Back Yarra Valley Winery Tour - Wine, Cider, Gin, Chocolate, Cheese and Lunch.
Explore the Yarra Valley with our social, flexible and laid back approach to winery tours. We do the Yarra the way you want it and give you plenty of choice! Not pretentious, no boring guides, no-one taking themselves too seriously....We have created the perfect itinerary so that we can offer people choices on where they go. This is the tour 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 Tokar Estate, Yering Farm Wines, Four Pillars and Yarra Valley Chocolaterie!
- This experience caters to small groups, with a maximum of 20 guests per tour , however we occasionally do smaller vans of 11 seats.
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.

Amazing fun tour
This laid back tour attracts the most fun group - we had an absolute blast with Matt who was an exceptional tour guide. He provided lots of information about the history of the area and in fact the settling of Australia which was so interesting. The vineyards and gin tasting were great and the lunch stop food was sensational and not overpriced. Overall a super way to spend a day out of the hustle and bustle of Melbourne

Excellent wine tour
Aiyden was a great guide. Everything happened on time. There was a lot of diversity: wine, cheese, gin and chocolate. I really enhoyed it. I can recommend that information is also given about the cheese. No information was given.

Left feeling disappointed
This tour started off well, but then fell flat. Our lunch order was mucked up which left our time there rushed. The chocolate factory was a complete bore (the chocolate wasn't even great quality) Our driver Matt was brilliant and the only saving grace I'm afraid. Generally we left feeling disappointed

Fun day out!
Absolutely loved this tour, relaxed and basically customised to what we wanted to do on the day. It seemed like it was worth way more than they charge!!! The wine, gins, food and chocolate were so good too! We'll definitely be back. Great for locals and tourists alike.

Fun day out
We had a great day, we went to two wineries for a tasting, had lunch in a different winery, went to the gin tastic and chocolate tasting in the end. It didn't feel rushed at all, there was enough time to enjoy every destination. We could add to the playlist in the bus as well! I can definitely recommend to go with friends, with visitors coming to Melbourne, as a couple or alone. Everyone is so friendly! Thank you :)
