About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- R2290XDnadias0 contributionsAmazing wine tourWould definitely book again, Beau was so knowledgeable, friendly and full of banter which led to such a great time. We went on a couples wine tour and the trip was customisable, we had some extra time between venues and he took us to the chocolaterie and ice creamery. 5/5, would recommend this everyone. Thank you for making our day one to remember!Written 10 December 2023
- RobynC6500 contributionsFive star private wine tasting tourAwesome private tour with Beau. He has great networks that meant we got personalised tour that exceeded our brief to him. A private tour is great when you have specific tastes (e.g. we love our Pinot Noirs) and you don't have to sit in a bus for an hour while 30 hotels are various pick up points. You get out of city straight away and have maximum time at wineries, plenty time for top notch leisurely lunch (we went to Steel Gates) and straight back to your hotel at end of special day. Beau was very prompt with his responses to my emails and gave us plenty of choices. He had a friendly manner & had great rapport with all the people that welcomed us so warmly at each winery. We highly recommend his tours and will definitely be back for more wine tasting with him when we return to MelbourneWritten 24 November 2023
- I5155LEjaneh0 contributionsFabulous dayThis was such a lovely day. There were 7 of us in our group and the minivan we had was lovely and comfortable. Beau was our tour guide/driver for the day and he was lovely and was very knowledgeable about the Yarra Valley in general and all the wineries. We visited 3 boutique wineries that Beau helped us chose in advance. Our favourite wines were at Steel Gates and our lunch at Soumah Wines was just delicious. We really had value for money and we would recommend the Big Grape Wine Tours to anyone. Beau picked us up from our cruise ship and was on time and dropped us back with smooth efficiency. If you’re looking for a tour of this beautiful area you couldn’t do better than Beau and Big Grape. Thanks heaps Beau -we’ll be back to try some other wineries next time. Many thanks. JaneWritten 10 November 2023

- heathertD3601JJ0 contributionsFaboulous day in the YarraBeau was an excellent Wine Guide. He told us about the area and took us to some lovely wineries and the Four Pillars Gin Distillery. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and came home with so much wine and gin! I would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing day out.Written 12 July 2023

- Kath J0 contributionsWhat a great experienceWhat a fabulous day out with friends. Beau was so easy to deal with & nothing was any trouble. He set up an itinerary that suited us beautifully & drove us around with knowledge & humour. We enjoyed his banter almost as much as the wineries/distillery that he took us to. A great day out that I can’t wait to repeat.Written 20 April 2023
- jayneharris120 contributionsNothing was too much troubleBeau and the team were fantastic, had great communication, were punctual, very knowledgeable and were just all round lovely people. From airport pick ups, to local drop offs and a full day winery tour nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back and will be booking through Big Grape Winery Tours again. Thanks for a fabulous long weekend in a spectacular part of our amazing country!Written 15 March 2023
- truckieandthewife0 contributionsValue for moneyWe booked a tour for our extended family including adult children. Right off the bat our guide Emily made us feel comfortable. Great value for money. Went to smaller wineries as well as a brewery. Great vibes at the venues. Everything was well explained and done to a schedule. Highly recommended!Written 25 November 2022
- greyhound8040 contributionsFantastic day - great wineries and great lunchRecently did a wine tour with Big Grape Winery Tours - what a great day. Highly recommend this company if you are doing a Yarra Valley Wine Tour. Beau was our driver and he was great. We went to wineries that we probably would not have found on our own. I loved that we went to some family owned boutique wineries. We loved the wines we tasted, we had a great lunch and a sensational day. Next time we are in the Yarra Valley will definitely use big Grape Winery Tours again. Thanks for an awesome day.Written 15 October 2022
- Sightseer6879670 contributionsUnreal, fun, wine, experienceCouldn’t recommend this tour group enough. I’ve been with them about 7 times now and always recommend them to family and friends. Christian is a great driver, knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Always request him for our trips. Never had a negative experience and very flexible with what we are feeling on the day. If you’re considering it… book now!!! “I love that I hate you”…Written 16 September 2022
- ebonyd8070 contributionsAmazingChristian was a great time on our winery tour, I will be requesting him next tour! This is my fourth tour with Big Grape and I’ll be using them againWritten 16 September 2022
- mzktg1230 contributionsA must in the YarraWe had a great day exploring the region and got to taste some delicious produce. Our driver Emily was excellent, we could not have asked for a better guide. Definitely recommend to anyone.Written 29 July 2022
- Ellacat60 contributionsAbove and beyond standardsAt very short notice (due to being let down by another company) Beau came to our rescue. We celebrated a birthday winery tour for 14 people and he ensured we all had a fabulous day. His communication before and on the day was terrific, the venues and the bus were all of a high standard. Beau's business is one that stands out above the others. I highly recommend you book with Big Grape Winery Tours.Written 19 April 2022
- emmahA4883FX0 contributionsWhat a day!The whole day went seamlessly! Our driver was Greg and he was so knowledgeable and passionate about the area which made our experience more authentic. The wineries we visited were beautiful, we literally brought wine from each venue! We even got to visit the gin distillery which was really cool. The process of organising this was smooth and easy, Beau was great at answering any questions we had and the response time was within the hour! Would definitely go with this company again, next time I’ll be bringing my friends and family! Thank you for a great day out!Written 12 April 2022

We had organised a girls trip to the Yarra Valley yesterday. We got picked up by Beau in the city and we spent the day at 5 boutique wineries doing wine tasting. The tour included lunch and a glass of wine. The weather ended up being better than anticipated with just a a bit of rain in between. Beau was a good driver/host, punctual and he got us back to the city on time. Overall we had an awesome trip and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour company to anyone who would like the comfort of a private tour.

Last week, 6 of us went on a private Big Grape winery tour for my brother's 30th birthday. We were staying out in Narbethong, which is about 25 minutes out from Healesville. Bec from Big Grape came and picked us up in the beautiful van to head out for the day - we visited 5 wineries, a couple that we picked and a couple that were recommended by Beau and Bec. Our tour included one course lunch and a glass of wine. We had an absolutely great time. Bec was great fun and super friendly and the van was luxe. Communication to book in the tour was spot on and I got a number of quotes prior to booking - Big Grape offered the best value for what we wanted.
Would highly recommend and would absolutely book with them again.
Thanks Beau & Bec!

We went on a day trip for a friend's birthday to the Yarra Valley. We live close to the YV, and have been on many winery tours and were expecting much of the same stuff that we have experienced previously. However, Bec, our driver was fabulous, and tool us to three wineries that we had never visited. She had loads of information about places in the YV and was super happy to be flexible. When we decided we wanted to visit another winery instead of the YV Choclaterie, Bec was super accommodating, and organised another winery happy to take on our group. Overall, it was an amazing day, well with the money spent and we would highly recommend a tour with Bec and the Big Grape Winery Tour company.

Recently a bunch of golf mates from NQ booked a Yarra Valley wine tour. We were not a wine savvy group and most of us had never been on such a tour. Beau, our driver, could not of been more helpful and flexible when arranging the tour. He was only too happy to visit a brewery for the not-so wine loving members of the group as well as springing a surprise trip to the gin factory, along with a select few wineries. Its easy to tell he loves his job, and was equally at home enjoying plenty of banter with the boys on the day as he was answering our (probably stupid)
questions about the industry and sharing his intimate knowledge of the area. You should also ask him about his alter ego "PSB" he will love that! A definite highlight of our trip

Efficient communication via email, very flexible with options to customise the day to how you want. Beau was a knowledgeable local guide who gave us space to catch up with each other and promptly arrived when we were ready to move on. Good variety of wineries, each with a different ambience, and fantastic choice of restaurant for lunch. Price was reasonable and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thank you Big Grape Winery Tours.

We recently did a personal tour with Big Grape Winery tours and loved it. Beau was so flexible about where we visited and took us to some beautiful wineries. Nothing was too much trouble for him and we had a beautiful lunch at Tramonto winery. A great day was had by all and we would strongly recommend you take a tour with Beau anytime. He’s a local and knows the area so well. Well worth the money.

Was a family celebration and am so glad we chose to spend it with Beau. The tour was awesome, it was super personalised and Beau accommodated every single request along the way (including a coffee stop on route). We had the best day together and Beau was a very charming host. Would def recommend for all ages and groups. The Yarra Valley is beautiful and feel like there is so much more to explore - we will be back :)

We will be in Melbourne one full day on a cruise ship - from 9:00 AM till 11:00 PM. If I can fill your van for you from my friends on board, how many will it hold and what would the price be per person?
