Yarra Valley Winery Tours

A Perfect Birthday Experience! Went with my partner for their birthday and had an absolutely amazing day! Our tour guide, Noel, was friendly, approachable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. The food and wine were exceptional – truly second to none. It’s a fantastic way to experience the Yarra Valley and great value for money. Highly recommend!

Great day out! Fantastic day with a great fun guide- we were picked up near our hotel in Melbourne CBD and had an enjoyable drive north through the city out to the Yarra Valley. The wineries we stopped at on the tour were a good mix of small family run vineyards like ‘ Yering Farm’ and larger operations like ‘Balgownie Estate’ (where we enjoyed lunch after our tasting). ‘Soumah’ was a lovely stop and their ‘cellar door’ area was so tastefully set up we could have gladly stayed all day. Last stop was the famous ‘Rochford’ winery where the tasting was very entertaining- a perfect finish! The wines tasted at all stops were such high quality – not a surprise for Australia ???????? ????

Amazing Wow, was a really great day!!! Noel was a fantastic driver and host andincredibly accomodating,…particularly with our drop off at the end of day.We had the pleasure of sampling some beautiful wines that truly showcased the region.Soumah wines… INCREDIBLESERVICE @ Rochfords, the best!!Big props for our final tasting at Rochfords, John was so knowledgeable and entertaining, loved the structure of the tasting experience…exceptional service at this venue!!!All in all great value, would highly recommend.Thanks for a wonderful, memorable day

A great day of wine tasting Noel was our expert guide who toured us through our four amazing wineries!Had our first tasters at 11am for breakfast at Yerring Farm, a lovely friendly family run and imformative place.Then lunch and more wines at Balgownie Estate, with an expert talk on some unusual treats.In the picturesque hills we visited Soumah, with more expert guided wine tastingsLastly we were lucky enough to visit Rochford Estate, with an amazing sommelier guiding us through tastings, finishing with a sublime muscat & brandy blend!Yarra valley wine tour is definately worth doing!!

Highly enjoyable. Great tour. Tour host Matthew was very personable and took us around 4 different Yarra Valley wineries. At each winery we sampled a selection of wines and heard their own experts explain about them which was interesting because each had something different to say about their wines and wine processes. Lovely unch at the Balgownie Estate.

Fantastic, informative day, lovely wines and unbelievable views We knew we were going to be in for an entertaining day when our guide /driver (Gerry) turned up at the pick up point in the mini bus and started cracking a load of jokes!It’s a fair drive up to Yarra Valley but Gerry kept us really well informed throughout the journey on all historical things about Yarra, Melbourne and Australia. He explained some of the reasons as to how the estates and wineries came to be, celebrities who had bought them, pointed out particular wildlife and gave loads of other interesting facts (did anyone know Australia had a huge camel population brought in from Afghanistan?). We visited four very different wineries – Greenstone, Balgownie (had a lovely included lunch here), Yering and Rockford. Each had fantastic views over the vineyards and rolling mountains behind them (helped by the lovely sunshine, despite it being winter), and each had pretty different tasting wines.This was purely a wine tasting tour, so we weren’t physically shown how the wine was made, but we’ve seen that several times before, so it was ok for us. We weren’t physically shown aback in Melbourne for around 5pm. A fabulous day, a lot of laughs along the way with Gerry, would highly recommend.

Excellent views, kangaroos and wine tastings A must-do trip into the Yarra Valley! Four different wineries are on the agenda, with 5 tastings at each, made for a great overview of Yarra Valley grapes and wines. The included lunch was excellent. The guide Andy went out of his way to make the day special and informative. Highly recommend!

Extensive selection of wines Most variety and number of tastings we’ve done on any tour. Small group, but this varies of course. Four wineries with 5+ tastings each. Nice lunch at one of the wineries. Driver very much an expert on wine and the science behind it. Humorous and funny guy .

Sunny Easter day out in the Yarra Valley Everything about the day was just right. Pick up in Melbourne was on time. Journey to Yarra Valley was not too long. Driver was friendly and knowledgeable. Wineries we visited were varied but all were special in their own way. Lunch at Balgownie was good. All in all a perfect day really

Wine Tour It was an amazing experience, everything was well planned out and our tour driver and instructor Andy was great and very punctual. It was a trip we would remember for life.

Great Wine tour to Boutique Wineries Great day. Met people from all over the world. Andy was our driver. He had a great knowledge of the area. Visited 4 wineries (most small boutique) had a beautiful lunch. Lots of singing on the journey home!

A great day trip! A great day trip with a nice selection of wines and wineries. Andy, our guide/driver was fun and made the trip enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend this tour.

Wine, Gin & Food Great experience and a wonderful drive with our Guide Tom to Yarra Valley for Wine, Gin & Lunch. We managed to get some Cheese Tasting in between our extra time, then later Chocolate Tasting. Both were awesome without much rush.

Excellent Wineries Tour Excellent day from start to finish. Our driver, Andy, was engaging and very knowledgeable, and a first class driver who navigated the Melbourne traffic with obvious experience. The 4 wineries we visited were all welcoming and attentive, and each gave a different spin on their wine and wine producing in general in the Yarra Valley and Victoria. I thought that by the fourth winery we would be hearing the same information but this was not the case. All done with humour and enthusiasm. The wine tastings themselves were highly entertaining and enjoyable with some really nice vintages provided. Definitely not the Dan Murphy’s selection on show. And the lunch was 5-star.We could not have had a better day and will definitely be booking again when we return to Melbourne next year.

Do it!! From the booking experience down to the drop off, this was a fantastic experience. Had the pleasure of being with Tony who is funny AND knowledgeable. The wineries were good, all a little different so you get the experience of big to small. And the lunch spot was tasty.

One of the best The trip was a delight. Good information and excellent hosts at each winery. Organisation of lunch was great and there was plenty of time to relax at each venue.

Great wineries, good value I thought the wineries were really nice and good value for 4 stops plus a nice lunch and glass of wine. Lovely day and good amount of wine. Would recommend!

Wine, Food & Fun. We spent our day today on a wonderful tour of the wineries in the Yarra Valley our tour guide Sandy was welcoming and full of information. She was not only informative she had a great playlist to sing along to on the way back to Melbourne. Our stop at Balgownie winery for lunch was very special. Lovely food and wine. Great scenery and company. I would suggest booking this tour if you love wine and want to enjoy the scenery. All the hassle of doing it yourself is looked after.

Best wine tour company to date I booked this tour as a surprise for my friend’s 50th. You can imagine our delight when no one else had booked on the same day so we ended up with a private tour with our amazing guide Mark! He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had an amazing time. Even if we didn’t end up by ourselves it still would have been amazing. I would absolutely book with this company again. I have been on my fair share of winery tours and this company is by far the best. Thanks for a great surprise for my best friend!!

Fun informative affordable tasty Great group company, funny and info filled driver & a tour guide Tony.Good wines, delicious lunch, nice valley views, roos spotting (if lucky).Thank you AWTC!

Great fun We had a great day with our guide and driver Tony. Nice people, good wine. A very good lunch, interesting wineries.

A great value wine tasting in the Yarra Valley We had a fabulous day with Sandy from AWTC and the rain couldn’t dampen our spirits! We were driven to 4 great wineries and served a delicious lunch at Balgownie Estate.Sandy was very friendly and professional and also very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the wine.The winery hosts were also great. The day was well paced, we never felt rushed. Bring your own bottle of water for the day. Sandy had a couple of snacks for us though.A great way to see some of the Yarra Valley and very good value with transport, tastings and lunch included.

Great wine tour, recommended! Very well organized wine tour, lovely guide, interesting wineries. Had a very good time and opportunity to try a lot of different wines in interesting wineries. The size of the party is a little bit bigger than some of the other wine tours I went for (24 people as opposed to 11) but it did not impact the experience at all. If you sign up for multiple wine tours with different operators, do look into the detailed tour description to make sure your tours go to different wineries. I did two wine tours in Yarra with two different operators which gave me a chance to visit 8 different wineries.

Really great day trip! We had a wonderful trip and enjoyed the wine and Yarra Valley very much. Sandy, our tour guide, was delightful and added to the experience immensely.

Fantastic wine tasting tour! We went on the wine tasting out on a perfect sunny day and our guide Sandy is super joyful and careful. The group ambiance was also great.

Yarra Valley Wine Tour The trip was amazing. Beautiful views, nice wine, very social trip. Our guide Sandy was super knowledgeable and fun. She also has great taste in music which made the bus trip home entertaining! Lunch was delicious and they were happy to cater for dietary requirements. I would highly recommend!

Sandy for President! We were a bit sceptical at first that it would be worth the price but it turned out to be one of the nicest days we had so far in Australia! The wine in all 4 spots was delicious, the complimentary lunch was very good and filling but the highlight of the whole day was the kindness and expertise of our guide Sandy. She was lovely all the time and quite helpful and definitely made our day! Recommended 10/10!

Wonderful guide, great wineries, international group The tour was fantastic. I’ve been on wine tours around the world and I was not disappointed with this one. Sandy was a fantastic guide – she really brought the valley to life with her experiences. Each of the wineries we went to offered something completely different. They were well chosen to give us a range of tastes in the valley and our lunch stop was delicious. We had a full group of 24 because the following day had been cancelled (due to extreme heat) but it never felt like a big group. It was wonderfully international with people of all ages. I would definitely recommend this tour.

A really fun day out! We had such a great time on the winery tour! Tony was a fantastic host/tour guide, and we got to taste some fantastic wines and meet so many wonderful people!

The sparkling Shiraz for me Thank you so much to our incredible tour guide, Sandy! Had an amazing day experiencing 4 different wineries. All made better by Sandy sharing her pearls of wisdom. Personal highlight was the lunch and sparkling Shiraz at Balgownie estate. Would highly recommend!
