    Daylesford Wine Tour
    Wife and I had a very enjoyable day. Our guide Sue did an amazing job. We were picked up/dropped off directly from our accommodation. A lot of fun on the day. Wife and I don't really drink wine. We were offered many samples and tried all of them. Highly recommend this tour. Faultless and a really great day out. Craig Spicer

    Really nice experience!
    My partner and I booked last minute over christmas break and they managed to find us a spot, we went in three wineries, tasted ciders, red and white wines, liquers and gins, the bus driver was friendly and nice, we even got a bag with water and popcorns to eat between the stops! Such a nice experience, planning on doing it again!

    Great day
    Clay was a great host and we really loved going to wineries that we would have normally missed out on as they are boutique and family run/owned.

    Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Clay and Maizy. The cider house, distillery and wineries were all very welcoming and were happy to share their knowledge with us. Clay is a great host who is up for a laugh and was very knowledgeable about the wines and the Daylesford region. My partner and I have recommended it to everyone we've spoken to!

    I am not a wine drinker, I wanted to try a tasting and broaden my range, our driver was Clay. Very knowledgeable and entertaining, easy to get along with and made sure everyone was catered for. We had 3 stops , 2 wineries and 1 liqueurs. It blew away my expectations. I would highly recommend this tour.

    A great day with great company 😊👍
    We had a fantastic day with Clay and his Labrador dog Maisy as hosts!! We visited 3 local wineries and 1 local cider maker as well as a distillery and it was all top notch!!! It was only my husband and I and one other couple on the bus so we got to know each other well. In the tour was a beautiful lunch with complimentary drink at the Farmers Arms hotel and the quality of the food was superb 👌😍 I have to give every part of the day a 10/10!!!

    A great introduction to Daylesford and surrounds
    We went on a whole day group tour with Clay and Maisie, visiting wineries, a distillery and the cider brewery. Clay was an excellent host with obviously great local knowledge and links. Lunch at the Farmers Arms was a highlight, along with Passing Clouds, our last stop for the day.

    What a day!
    Had an absolute ball with Clay & Maisie. Picked up on time with a smile & we hit the road. Nothing was too hard for Clay. We lucked a day with just the 4 of us on our wedding anniversary. The wine, ciders & food today were great. Despite my brides aversion to Chardonnay we had a lot of laughs & a great time. She just might need to read more of the self help book I bought her. A beautiful region to explore further & we will be back to see more of it, with Clay & Maisie of course. Thank you again!

    Friends and I had a great time!
    Went with a couple of friends. We were picked up on time. We didn’t feel like we were a bus load of tourists. The wineries we visited weren’t overcrowded which we loved. I quite enjoyed the cider tasting. Throughly recommend if going with friends as it was relaxing and we could all drink without stressing. We all had a great time. Thanks Clay!

We were lucky enough to have the last tour before the region went into hibernation and what an amazing day to remember! Clay and his super beautiful labrador Maizy picked us up (always early which we love -more drinking time! haha) and we ventured out to 5 very different, small suppliers we hadn't met on our other tour including some of the best pinot noir I've ever tasted (and bought!). Lunch at The Farmer's was impeccable as was the whole experience with so much laughter, fun and incredible produce. Thanks team once again we'll be back as soon as we're allowed!

Gorgeous day out with fantastic guide Stephen and Labrador Maizy filling us with wonderful fun, wine, food as well as very unique and tasty (I've never liked it at all but am now a convert) cider!

Stephen had great stories and relationships with each maker we met and we finished at a gin distillery which was warm and cosy and they are rated 2nd and 3rd best gins in the world. We also tried some amazing port and some herbal liqueurs which we bought a box of....YUM!

The lunch at Frango's Hotel was delicious with fun staff and a great selection. Highly recommend Daylesford Wine Tours from booking through to dropping us off at our accommodation on completion.

We had a wonderful afternoon with our tour guide, Clay. The 2 wineries and the distillery that we visited were very different to each other and well worth going to.
Clay's knowledge of the area and his great sense of humor made it a fun, memorable afternoon. Would highly recommend this tour to any traveller to the Daylesford area.

We were a group of 8 friends and had heard about Daylesford Wine Tours from friends that had been on this tour who loved it. We were picked up on time from our accommodation and laughing and relaxed in minutes with our driver Anthony. This isn't a regular tour - all the cellar doors are boutique, amazing wines & ciders & gin, ample tasting sizes, no rushing or competing with heaps of people and we got to actually meet the makers! Highly recommend and will be back.

The whole experience with Daylesford wine tours was incredible, from the booking through to the service on the tour.
We had to reschedule our dates at short notice and Clayton was more than accomodating!
Friday prior to the tour, Renee called to ensure we had arrived safely and to confirm the details of our collection and gave us a couple of locations to visit in our down time.
Anthony and his co-pilot Maisey made the day a breeze! Anthony was extremely knowledgeable and a genuinely friendly human being.
Fantastic experience !

A great way to spend a day in Daylesford and its surrounding areas.

We hopped on the bus after booking with Daylesford Wine Tours, and midway through the journey were accused of not paying as the guide was one payment short (one couple on the bus hadn't paid - and being a couple in our early 20s - it was assumed we were the culprits). After reiterating the fact that we had paid, the tour guide refused to believe us and demanded we pay again in the spot. Were treated like lepers the rest of the tour and were out of pocket. Issue was eventually resolved by staff at our hotel and we were refunded the second payment, but a really bad experience.
