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 perfect host, and gauged well the level of technical detail to provide to a small party interested in not only the wines, but also taking in the overall Yarra Valley experience -- sipping wine, enjoying the beautiful scenery, chatting with the proprietors (who seemed to like Stephen as much as we did, and who were especially generous in their pouring!), and fine dining (fabulous lunch at Yering Station). Stephen allowed us to linger when we wanted, yet discretely kept us on track in order see everything he had planned for us. Considering the personal level of attention, the number of wines we were able to sample, the assortment of other nibbles, and the delicious lunch, the tour exceeded our best expectations.

Thanks for your response and absoluely delighted to hear the day in the Yarra Valley exceeded all your expectations. We're blessed to have a world class destination so close to Melbourne, as well as having someome of Stephen's calibre host the day. I trust you have some luck in tracking down some of their wines and continue to enjoy the wonderful memories of your time here.
