- nicolacH2765AX0 contributionsWine tour successGreat day out. Went to 4 wineries. Great selection. Great food. Each winery was different but so lovely. We were welcomed in warmly and learned a lot. Our driver Warrick was amazing. Gave us plenty of notice when it was time to move on. Be try friendly and happy to chat. Would recommendWritten 5 May 2024
- debndean580 contributionsWhat a fun day trip!Great wine-tasting trip around the Mornington Peninsula. Ian the driver was spot on with information and timing throughout the day. Good wines to sample, and yummy lunch at Green Olive.Written 23 March 2024
- Jane N0 contributionsThe wineries we visited were very nice as was our guide but it was not a good valueOur two course lunch turned out to be a charcuterie board, period. We chose this tour over other less expensive one because it promised a real lunch.Written 5 January 2024
- Zany740 contributionsGreat Winery TourTour guide was friendly and helpful. On time and kept us on track! Good knowledge of local area, history and local challenges. The inclusive tour was hassle free and the lunch at Soumah was excellent.Written 27 September 2023
- P6685JIlauram0 contributionsLovely day outIan was great, stopped to see some wild kangaroos on the way to Chandon. Great selection of wines and vineyards with some incredible views. Lunch was delicious.Written 9 March 2023
- Andrea J0 contributionsWonderful wine tour…This was an absolutely delightful small group wine tour. Our guide Davide was knowledgeable, funny and engaging. I joined last minute as a solo traveler and there were just a total of seven guests. That size felt perfect to me as I was looking for a small group. I thoroughly enjoyed the people on the tour and all of the wonderful wines that we sampled. Each winery had its own distinct character and all of the locations were lovely. we had a beautiful sunny day and the vineyards throughout the valley were gorgeous. Lunch was delicious as well, exceeding my expectations. I can't say enough good things about this tour! I also felt it was an excellent value for the money. If you sign up for this tour, I don't think you will regret it!Written 20 January 2023
- Lucy S0 contributionsHighly recommend!A great experience!! Whilst we have been to the Mornington Peninsula many times we still saw and learnt something new! Ian our tour guide was knowledgeable, funny, kind and respectful. We had a great tour, great wine and great company! Thank you so much to Ian and Chillout wines, we highly recommend!Written 15 September 2022
- rural_traveller_120 contributionsA great day in Yarra ValleyI was originally a little disappointed to hear we were not visiting Chandon. However, it didn’t matter, we still had a wonderful day, Ian was a great driver who got everyone talking to each other, it was such a friendly group. Lunch at Soumah was delicious. Our favourite winery was Helen’s Hill. We never felt rushed and were taken past a few interesting spots on the trip. I look forward to doing another trip with chill out.Written 23 April 2022
- RobynHobart0 contributionsYarra Valley wine tourExcellent tour. Great driver Ian who was very accommodating and knowledgeable. We had six in the group and all enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend this tour.Written 11 May 2021
- Jemry130 contributionsWine and food. Is there anything better?Definitely one of the best winery experiences. Starting at 11am with our first wine taste it's just an amazing way to start the trip. By 1pm we were finishing one of the best lunches you will ever have in Mornington at the old apple shed and continue on with more wine and cider in 4 different wineries. Ivan is a legend that makes the whole experience unique and memorable. Thanks a lot for sharing all those wonderful stories! Definitely will recommend this to anyone out there looking for a very special day!!Written 19 April 2021
- L7395JBmarcelam0 contributionsGreat wine and foodAmazing experience, we love wineries, we tasted really good wines, food was so yummy, Ivan was our tour guide and he made the experience unique and pleasant. Easy to communicate and great value. We will be back 😍Written 17 April 2021
- MarjanDB530 contributionsRelaxed and diverse!Every year I organise a wine tour either to the Yarra Valley or to the Mornington Peninsula. This is the second time we (a group of 15 women) went with Chillout Winery Tours and it has again been excellent. Quite often tour operators offer the same old wineries, however David came up with an original and diverse tour. We even had a little shopping stop in Flinders! The highlight was The Old Apple Shed though. There we had a wine tasting with the best lunch we have ever had on a wine tour. Our driver Ian was exactly what you want from a driver on a day out. Leading us where we needed to go, making sure that everything was organised well at the different locations and then appearing out of nowhere when it was time to go. Thank you Chillout, David and Ian for a wonderful day!Written 28 February 2021

- A872NXkatrinas0 contributionsGreat Day Out!Overall a great day out. Ian M the driver was friendly and great fun. The choice of wineries were excellent. Lunch at Montalto was very good. We dined in a private room overlooking the lovely grapevines. The only possible improvement would have been to have a little longer for the wine tastings and to allow a wine tasting at the lunch venue so we knew which wines to order to have with our lunch. Overall, a wonderful day. Thank youWritten 20 December 2020

I bought my son a gift voucher worth $260 in November 2021 for his 10th wedding anniversary in January 2022. He forgot about it until April 2023. The gift voucher had a one year expiry when the law says you have to give 3 years. We both contacted the company to get the time extended and my son even offered to add so extra $ if the price had gone up.
The owner flatly refused to consider any sort of deal or compensation or extension of time. I have reported them to ASIC and will never deal with this company again. They never actually went but had to fill in those spaces or the review would not submit.

This tour was fantastic! A great way to celebrate EOFY and coming out of lockdown with colleagues. David and the team at Chillout travel we’re great to deal with, quick at responding to any queries we had and accomodating when it came to pickup/drop off locations, wineries visited and logistics on the day working with Covid19 restrictions. Would recommend jumping on this tour to all! 😊

Went out for my birthday with my family, even though it was a wet day for us, all of us had an amazing experience as it was my family’s first time going on a winery tour. We visited 3 wineries (including lunch) and the chocolaterie & ice cream, was an awesome trip for first timers with children as well. Thank you to David who helped me organised everything, as a full time worker it was hard to speak over the phone but everything was done through emails. Very friendly and organised team. Ian the driver was so friendly and was amazing at his job and shout out to him who kept us safe the whole way on a wet day. We all had amazing experience with this team and will definitely come back for another tour!

My wife and I had a fabulous day out with Chillout to the Yarra Valley. The tour was well organised and superbly run by Ian, who is a real experienced pro and certainly knows his stuff. Visiting 4 very different type of wineries made the YV experience very enjoyable. We were never rushed and the lunch at Soumah was seriously superb. Very good value tour.

This was a trip of great value on every level. The weather was perfect and our group bonded quickly under Ian’s skilled guidance. He was patient, funny and thoughtful. Throughout the day he pointed out attractions and shared stories of the Yarra Valley wine country’s history. We visited four excellent wineries, different in size and wine offerings. In each we tasted several wines, learned about different properties of their grapes and enjoyed the uniqueness of their settings. For the lunch at Soumah we were served excellent food and wine. Our group truly connected there over the stories we shared.
As a photographer himself, Ian helped group members take memorable photos at various locations. At the end, he even drove us all to our preferred drop off points. It was a truly wonderful day!

This was a fun day spent tasting wine with a small group of like minded visitors. A huge shout out to our excellent guide, Verity. We appreciated each of the thoughtful stops for tasting, and the pacing was good. The laid back approach to informing our group and leaving the vineyard explanations to the wine experts worked extremely well. Lunch was equally fantastic. Tip: There are restrooms at each stop. If you’re traveling from overseas check on the shipping rates for wine as it is likely to be high.

Great experience! Myself and 3 friends attended the wine tour in Yarra Valley yesterday and had an amazing time! There was a great variety of wineries for the wine tasting and we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Soumah winery 😃 (definitely recommend the fish). The experts at the wine tastings really knew their stuff and we came away from it knowing a lot more about the wine making process & industry in general. The scenery is beautiful and the bus journey and transport was very smooth (left on time and got home on time). Our driver Verity was so kind, knowledgeable and friendly and made the process even more enjoyable! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a wine tour in Yarra Valley!
