The tour was lots of fun; comfy, cool, spacious, leather seated mini-bus; visited 3 lovely wineries over the afternoon.

Ian was the best tour guide, friendly, talkative, and made organising the tour incredibly easy when other companies turned us away. After arriving in Melbourne for a conference on Sunday night, I started contacting companies at 7am on Monday in the hope of finding a wine tour for about 15 people on Wednesday afternoon. After a number of rejections (they couldn't <i>possibly</i> organise something at only 2 days notice), one recommended I try contacting the Winebus. Ian offered us a range of packages, with prices for 10+ people or a slightly higher price if fewer signed up. What's more, there were two bus sizes, we only had to let him know final numbers on Wednesday morning, and payment would be taken in cash or by card when we arrived so we didn't need to organise a deposit. Ian couldn't have made it easier to organise, was very easy to contact, and I can't recommend the Winebus highly enough. My colleagues were all very complimentary of the tour and of Ian, and asked that I echo their thanks in my review.

Ian was a tremendous host - surpassed only by the various hosts at the various wineries visited - Chandon, Tokar, Hanrahans, Helen & Joeys. Lovely lunch at Tokar. Van meant a small group who left as friends, rather than a busload of strangers. Looked a three Yarra Valley wine tours - glad I picked this one.

There are quite a few options when booking a wine tour in Australia but we decided to go with this one as it was recommended by a friend who had previously been on it. We were definitely not disappointed! Our driver and tour guide, Ian, was friendly and knowledgable and was able to answer all of our questions. The wine tastings themselves were excellent, with every effort made to find a wine that each individual would like. Ian gave us enough time at each location to explore, taste and shop and the whole day went by far too quickly! Great food, great wine and amazing chocolate - would definitely recommend.
