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.

Lou was sensational lovely friendly, expert driver and had a fantastic insight into every winery, was able to give recommendations to each wineries not only drink of choice but the history behind each winery. Lou also went out of his way to show us some historic sites in Glenrowan and let I do a quick grocery shop before we were dropped home. If you’re after a day of drinking with your friends without having to worry about a single thing Lou is your man!

I recently had a fantastic day out in the King Valley with North East Vineyard Tours, Lou organised the perfect itinerary and our driver Andrew was great. The vineyards were five star operations, each cellar door had an amazing view over the valley, the wine was beautiful and the service exceptional. I would not hesitate to recommend North East Vineyard Tours or the King Valley area and hope to make it back soon.

Thankyou Lou for organisation a fantastic tour of wineries in the King Valley region of North East Victoria (Australia). Lou masterfully and unobtrusively ascertained our wine and winery interests then selected a route taking us to some small boutique family based wine businesses. Lou's choices blew us away and his subtle prompting challenged us to explore wines we never thought to taste. The relationship between Lou and the winemakers led to warm and open discussions at each venue helping to gain insights into wine making approaches. Thankyou Lou. We'll be back!

I can not recommend North East Vineyard Tours highly enough. Lou was exceptional at firstly helping me to tailor my tour to what I had envisaged on the day and planned everything to a T. His itinerary was spot on and everything throughout the day worked like clock work. He had prebooked all my winery vists and we were even lucky enough to get a personal tour with Kep at Savaterre which was an absolute highlight.
As for our driver Andrew, he was exceptional also. Very friendly and even helped getting us booked in for lunch at Ox and Hound when we decided to change our lunch plans at the last minute. Eveything about our tour was on point. Thanks Lou and Andrew for a fantastic day and a fantastic experience.

Lou provides an outstanding value for money tour of the wineries in the King Valley - and tailors it to suit any particular interests you may have! We visited 5 wineries on the day.
He is knowledgeable and accommodating and made the entire day just fly by. The added benefit of being driven around allowed us the luxury of fully engaging in the tasting experience knowing that we will be returned safely to our hotel and not have to worry about driving.
I strongly recommend if you have a day in the King Valley North East Vineyard Tours is the best way to explore the wineries in the Valley!!

Hi Spinfamily Thanks for the review, it was a pleasure having you both on board to enjoy the King Valley wine region. Experiencing the valley during the week allows a personal touch from the wine makers as well which is what makes our tour more engaging. Enjoy the wines and keep some for your daughter and son in law to enjoy with you. Look forward to seeing you on the next visit to the North East... Regards Lou

Lou Frost was attentive to detail, punctual, and took us to both small and large vineyards in the King Valley area, some of which we would not have visited. We sampled a large variety of different wines as a result, and had a wonderful day, with an excellent lunch.

What a wonderful day we had! From my initial contact with Lou, who was so accommodating and more than happy to come across to Mansfield to pick us up. He had great suggestions on the wineries and where to eat and how much to try and fit in on the day.
Our driver Dennis was absolutely fabulous and put up with 8 noisy, wine effected women with style ! He was very informative and made sure were well looked after at each winery. He made some suggestions on other places to visit on our next tour and detoured on the way home so we could take in the magnificent views at Powers Lookout. He was an absolute star and you’ll be lucky if he’s your driver.
We visited Pizzini (great history and delicious wines - we bought a lot!), Red Feet (lovely boutique winery we all found something we liked here and the views are spectacular), DelzOtto for a truly delicious lunch washed down with very yummy Prosecco & Pinot Grigio, then finished off at The Delatite with an informative and fun private tasting with Paul. (Again, really amazing wine and we left with a stack of it!)
The King Valley is a beautiful part of the world, it has much to offer and its well worth a visit to the area. I can highly recommend Lou and North East Vineyard Tours, we are already talking about when we can do our next trip with them.
