We did the tour which included a guided walk round the Healsville Sanctuary which was also excellent and full of interesting facts. We went to Yering Station which was beautiful and had a... More

“A fantastic finish to a great week!”

For the past several years, the 'tennis girls' take off to Melbourne for a whirlwind week of tennis & great restaurants. We now have to add Vinetrekker to our itinerary for future visits. Our last day in Melbourne this time was spent visiting the Mornington Peninsula with Paul. We visited Tanglewood Estate, Willow Creek & Balnarring Vineyards. All very different,... More

“Perfect day touring the Yarra Valley”

Reviewed 15 January 2012

The tour of the Yarra Valley wineries that we took with Vinetrekker was exceptional -- one of the most memorable and pleasant days of our 2-week trip to Australia, which began with 3 days in Melbourne. As there was only one other very pleasant couple on the tour, it indeed felt like a private experience. Stephen, our guide, was the... More

“A Fantastic Day”

Reviewed 11 January 2012

I was in Melbourne for a week in December and wanted to explore the surrounding area outside of the city. This tour was the perfect way to spend a day. It is a very small group (there were only 3 people on my tour) and that makes it feel very intimate and special. The wineries we visited were amazing. Our... More

“A great way to spend a very hot day in Melbourne”

Reviewed 2 January 2012

When we decided to go to Melbourne for a few days and saw that we were in for a heat wave the idea of a day in the Yarra Valley seemed a good idea. From the time we made our booking through to the end of the tour we were not disappointed. Stephen was low key and very knowledgeable. The... More

“Sunny Day in the Yarra Valley !”

Reviewed 21 December 2011

This was a great tour, small amount of people and Stephen our tour guide was fantastic, knew melbourne quite well. The only small issue was that the wineries that we visited were very large on a commercial scale, would be nice to visit some smaller wineries in the region. would recommend this tour to anyone !

Thanks for the response and pleased the day was a success and you'd be happy to recommend it. The demand is for the larger, more commercialised wineries especially amongst the international visitors who travel with us. Our tours to the Mornington Peninsula and Macedon Ranges visit the more boutique wineries, given both regions are less commercialised than the Yarra Valley.... More
