Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We enjoyed the most wonderful day with Bernadette! She and Richard designed a perfect day for the two of us, taking our interests into consideration and planning a perfect blend of new (Payton and Jones, Billanook) and traditional (St Hubert) wineries, and a stop at Four Pillars distillery. We truly enjoyed each stop, and appreciated Bernadette's knowledge of the area as well as the thoughtful touches like cold water and a place to store the cannoli we couldn't eat after our delicious Italian lunch at Al Dente Cooking. I would absolutely send friends to A Day of the Vines for exceptional customer service.

We had a great time on our beer and cider tour, which they ran despite us being the only two people booked in (thank you!). Richard and Bernadette were very generous with their time, even squeezing in an extra stop than scheduled when we were running ahead of time. We had a great time and would recommend to anyone who would rather have a smaller, more intimate experience of the Yarra with some locals who clearly love the area!

We tried booking this tour thrice and finally made it to Melbourne on the third try ( thank you covid lockdowns).

Bernadette and Bryan picked us up from our hotel and took us along on a wonderful journey through the land of wine, cider, cheese and chocolate that is the Yarra valley. From the beginning, they were gracious hosts , going the extra mile to make this a memorable experience for us.

Having previously done a similar wine day tour in the Barossa valley , I found this one a lot more warm and personalised. There are nice little flourishes that came from visiting only family owned wineries, the care taken to select a picturesque lunch venue , to all the anecdotes that B&B shared, it seemed like we spent a day visiting friends who took us around to places they knew and liked best. The cheese tasting was spectacular and we also managed to pop into the Yarra valley creamery for a few minutes and pick up some chocolate . We returned with full hearts, lighter wallets and several wine bottles.

Much recommended and must do for someone who would just want to sit back and relax and let themselves be indulged with the sights , smells and tastes.

We will be back again next season. Can’t wait for the gin tours to begin.

We booked a private tour with Day on the Vine to experience a day in the Yarra Valley.

Bernadette and Richard clearly love the region and all it has to offer, taking us to five different winery/distilleries on our tour.

We weren’t very organised so we let Richard & Bernadette plan our itinerary for us (even though private tours have the luxury of being customised), on the day we requested a stop at Four Pillars to be included and that was easily accommodated.

The little touches such as our own choice of tunes, pick up direct from our accommodation & the very generous offer to drive back via the shops to help us get dinner didn’t go unnoticed.

It’s the best way to explore the Yarra Valley. Thanks for a memorable day.

Really helpful up-front customising a perfect day of cider and beer tasting. Then a fun day of bubbles, trivia, more bubbles, a delicious meal, did I mention bubbles?, history of the region, a few final bubbles, and then delivered safely home.

You could not ask for more in two friendly and fun hosts for a perfect day in the vines.

Recommended to everyone, and proven by the number of repeat visitors who I hope to count myself amongst.

Thanks for a great day from Stephen and Sara :)

Bernadette and Richard were amazing guides, me and my partner had such a wonderful day! We went to four wineries and a chocolatier which all were fantastic. Lunch was incredible as well and all the staff were lovely and personable. I would definitely recommend these guys for a great day out ☺️

My friends and I did a private tour with Richard and Bernadette. They were amazing hosts for the tour. They were very informative and were very friendly. They day they had prepared for us was just perfect.

We went to 4 wineries and a chocolatery and each destination was amazing! The lunch was spectacular and the wines were delicious.

Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to check out some of the smaller wineries in the Yarra Valley

Richard and Bernadette organised and delivered a delightful day for my wife and myself. They gathered details of our preferences and curated a selection of wineries and breweries to our personal taste. They were warm and open and lots of fun, and were great judges of the pacing of the day. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, will definitely recommend this to our friends and come back for another tour! They have knowledge of a huge range of cellar doors, so we know that each time will be unique.

Fantastic day out with Bernadette and Richard. Both had great knowledge of the local boutique wineries and were a pleasure to spend the day with. Every winery was welcoming and we had enough time to enjoy each. Great food throughout the day from the cheese boards that accompanied a selection of wines through to the pasta we chose for lunch. 10/10 trip with a day on the vine and would definitely do again.
