“Fantastic Day, great guide, excellent winery choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2010

My wife and I only had 4 days in Melbourne after a few days in Launceston so we organised the Yarra Valley Tour. We were picked up at our city location on time by our driver/guide Simon. The group of people on the tour were very nice and from many different countries. The choice of wineries visited were excellent starting first at Kellybrook where Simon gave us all a quick wine tasting guide. Then onto Rochfords for more tasting and lunch which was organised very well and delicious. Next to Yering Station and finally to Domaine with another very informative session by Simon on the history and making of sparkling wine. All in all a great day and would recommend to anyone visiting Melbourne.

“A fun day out...if you like Chardonnay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2008

i booked via the internet and had no troubles with this at all. We were picked up as arranged and our small bus of about 20 people travelled out to the Yarra Valley, ably guided by our knowledgeable driver. The day started at 9.30 to get back by around 5.00pm.
We were given tips on how to "taste" wine correctly and what to look for and taste. We found out that the Yarra Valley predominantly produces Chardonnay as well as a number of reds. We did get to sample some Savignon Blancs and sweet dessert wines, and finished at Domaines Chandon where we sampled a glass of the local sparkling - a choice of dry, red or sweeter sparkling wine.
Lunch at Rochfords was excellent - a great plate of food - and sufficient choice from the menu to please most palates.
All in all I would recommend this tour for value and interest.
