The Yarra Valley is a beautiful natural setting and the vinyards and their facilities are beautifully laid out and pleasant settings to try out a mind-boggling assortment of wines. The Chocolaterie is an experience in itself (though starting the day with chocolate might be a shock to the system for some). All in all, a friendly multi-national group of fellow-travellers, a knowledgeable driver and guide, and probably too much wine in one day, made for a very enjoyable tour.

Shane was an excellent guide, made our trip so much more comfortable and fun, he made sure we were comfortable at all times. Covered beautiful wineries. And he kept all of us engaging. Highly recommended this.

We had a fantastic experience with Maj touring the Yarra Valley. Each winery we visited had its own story, distinct identity and atmosphere with a unique wine tasting experiece. Definitely a memorable and worthwhile part of our journey through in Melbourne. Lots of great photo opportunities too!

This tour started off well but became disappointing later in the day. Initially my friends and I were happy with the prompt transport pick up and an enjoyable chocolate tasting experience. The first wine tasting experience (St Hubert’s) was at a sit-down table with the rest of the group and provided a great experience with information given about each wine.
Unfortunately following the lunch break was when things took a downturn. On arrival at the second winery (Medhurst) we were told that it was a busy day and therefore the wine tasting was set up at the bar ledge, which the 18 of us in the group could not fit around. The actual information about each wine and the wines themselves were excellent but the tasting experience was dampened by the set up of us all standing in close proximity - particularly as we were the only group in a room with empty seats and tables.
The final winery (Fergusson) was a failure - we were rushed out of our second winery by our tour guide to drive 30 minutes towards Fergusson’s and when we arrived they were not expecting us. Nobody greeted us from the winery, we were all bunched together at the entrance stood up and eventually a member of staff appeared with wine. However no list was shared of the wines being tasted, no names of the wines were called out resulting in us not knowing what we were drinking and people missing out on tasting samples. No information was given about the origin/creation of the wines at this winery. Overall it was a poor tasting experience and not at all “premium” as suggested in the itinerary, making it highly unlikely for someone to purchase from this winery. I am understanding that wineries can be very busy and therefore the last one may not have been prepared for our arrival but it was more disappointing that our tour guide did not acknowledge or apologise about the failed experience here. Furthermore this tour is expensive and given our experience we felt it was overpriced.

I had a great day. Shane provided a good overview of the Yarra Valley and the history and happenings of each venue we visited. He was engaging and entertaining. More time at the chocolaterie would have been nice.

Loved the tour in general, Shane was absolutely amazing. However one winery was a bit rushed, which was a shame cause it was the most informatyce tasting. All in all great experience!

Tour guide was friendly, and the places we went were great. It was a fun group of people on the bus too which is always a bonus.

What a great experience especially our tour guide Maj. Very punctual and explained things along the way.
Chocolate tour was amazing they were very informative and so many tastings.
Wineries were good except for one Boat o' Craigo it was as though they couldn't be bothered and quite rude asked to try a wine and was told not on the trying list so we didn't bother buying any wine , didn't make us feel welcome at all.
Tried Fergusson wine very accomadating and nice wine bought quite a few bottles.
All in all a good day except for Boat O'Craigo.
