My husband and I booked this tour because it was guaranteed to be a small group and it turned out that it was just us. From our perspective this was brilliant however it did mean Stephen had to put up with our (probably mainly my) witterings and questions all day. We went to a variety of different wineries taking in... More

With only a few days booked in Melbourne this time, giving up a whole day for a wine tour was a bit of a risk but it was a thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile experience. Paul was a great host - knowledgeable and relaxed and able to pitch the tour to the individuals on the tour. There were only two other... More

Thanks so much for taking the time to review the day and thrilled it was such a success. You certainly bought the right spirit to the day and contributed to the chemistry with the other passengers. All the best and look forward to having you travel to the Mornington Peninsula next time you're in town. More

My cousin was visiting me in Melbourne and suggested Vinetrekker Wine tours after extensive research on google and tripadvisor reviews. We weren't disappointed! Stephen was an excellent guide on the Yarra Valley wine tour and brought us to wineries that I, myself (having been to 2 other winery tours) have never been to previously. The smallness of the tour group... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your two tours and am absolutely thrilled you enjoyed them both so much. Both the Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley are world class regions and you can be assured of eating and drinking well in both of them. We're very fortunate to have Stephen working with us and his professionalism... More

My partner and I did the Mornington Peninsula tour last week and we had a fabulous day with Stephen who was the perfect host - best of all it was just the 2 of us with him. We weren't sure what to expect but reading all the reviews from Trip Advisor we expected something good and it was better than... More

Thanks so much for your review and delighted the day exceeded your expectations. Stephen is a terrific host and his customer focus skills are excellent. The Peninsula is a wonderful region to visit and offers a great deal of diversity. Pleased to hear you've got back to enjoying chardonnay. Grown in the right area and made properly, it still stands... More

I was looking for something special to spoil my sister and I found it! Garth is an excellent guide - so knowledgeable about the Yarra Valley and observant. He paid attention to everything we did or said to make sure we felt special - whether it was adjusting the temperature in the car (I didn't even ask he just saw... More

First, I have to say that I loved the first tour from Paul at Vinetrekker's that I went to 2 more tours all within the 6 weeks I was visiting Melbourne. I had never taken a "real" wine tour anywhere, and I have to say that every vineyard we went to on our first tour to the Mornington Penninsula was... More

Thanks so much for the review, it's very much appreciated. It was terrific that you were able to spend so much time in Melbourne and we had the opportunity of occupying a good amount of your time. I was delighted you got to experience three different regions and they all had something different to offer. We're incredibly fortunate to have... More

This was my second tour with Vinetrekker, having booked with Paul the year before on my first visit to Australia. I am a native to the US and recently relocated to Melbourne. When my family from the States made plans to come visit, Vinetrekker was at the top of my list of things we had to do. Paul remembered me... More

Thanks so much for your review and I'm thrilled the day was such a success. You were certainly blessed with terrific weather and the Valley is looking beautiful at the moment. I'm sure your parents can appreciate why you've relocated here, now that they know what you have access to. It's a great asset having Stephen on board and he... More

Planning for day trip for a group of 10 visiting from overseas meant i had my hands full with everyone wanting to see/do different things. From the very beginning, Paul made it very easy for me despite going back and forth to him with endless changes. Highly recommend Paul to anyone. We made a trip to Mornington Peninsula to 3... More

Absolutely delighted the day was so successful and all your hard work was recognised by the family. With a diverse range of interests and different ages, it's always difficult to keep everyone happy but pleased we managed to cover all bases. Fortunately, the Mornington Peninsula offers a great degree of variety and while it's challenging at times to keep everyone... More

I booked this all very last minute but Paul returned my call to Malaysia within a short while of my enquiry and just days before the proposed tour.

What a truly fantastic tour Paul operates - he's incredibly attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and in-tune with what his customers are looking for in a Yarra tour. My wife had organised the day trip for my birthday and I had no idea what all we'd be getting up to; needless to say the whole experience was a massive winner. Paul knows... More
