Review of: Yarra Valley Wine Tasting Tours
Our guide was lacklustre. He hardly talked and let one of the passengers control the microphone who talked instead. We always enjoy wine tours where the guide shares their local knowledge and this was such a disappointment. He had little personality or enthusiasm. Food was very late in the day (1.30pm) and the serving sizes were too small, we all ordered more food. Wineries could have spoken more about themselves so we could learn about their history and their stories. Overall this was one of the worst wine tours we have done. I would not recommend them.…

Review of: Yarra Valley Wine Tasting Tours
Our tour guide Paul gave us a wonderful tour. We were greeted warmly by Paul at our convenient pick up point and the easy chat continued the whole day. Paul was very knowledge of the area and the wines and was also very relaxed as we we never felt rushed at any of the 5 stops. Paul (who became affectionately known to us as 'Custo') took us to 4 wineries (Greenstone, Oakridge, Rochford (where we had a lovely lunch) & Yerring Farm) and to top of the day, he took us to the Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery. We had the best day. Thoroughly recommend the tour and we will definitely book Paul again when next in Melbourne 😀…

Review of: Yarra Valley Wine Tasting Tours
Positives- our tour guide Ben was so lovely and friendly. Knew a lot about the area and was open to answer questions. He was a good photographer too! The winery’s were really picturesque. The Yering station winery was the highlight and the person who guided us to taste was very knowledgeable. Negatives- My group and I were running about 5 minutes late, and we had called the tour number to let them know. The man I spoke to (didn’t catch his name) was very rude and sarcastic. Basically told us we need to hurry up or else the van would miss us. Another lady called a few minutes later advising us that we could meet at another pick up point, which was was much more helpful than the person we spoke to, who was quite unprofessional. Minus the hiccup in the morning, the tour was really lovely!…

Review of: Yarra Valley Wine Tasting Tours
Honestly, not the best winery tour we’ve been on. Already had accommodation in the Yarra Valley and still paid full price. Besides Yering Station and Rochford, wineries weren’t the best. Last winery, lady didn’t even know the wines and just poured wine without giving us more info. Lunch was at Rochford and my serving was entree size. I would say, not worth the price. Sorry.…
