A fantastic day touring the Yarra Valley- the tastings were great, lunch was delicious. Our tour guide Brett was a knowledgeable and congenial host. I would recommend the tour as great value and very worthwhile....loved the experience!

I would highly recommend this tour. My mate and I decided to book a tour instead of driving ourselves so we could both enjoy the wine tasting. This tour is well run and brought us to a variety of different types of wineries. The lunch at Balgownie Estate was delicious!
My only suggestion is maybe to provide a little more information about what kind of bus/mini bus to look out for - there were about 4 different tours being picked up from the Federation Square so it was hard to tell which tour I was supposed to be on. Other than that, if you're looking for a tour of the yarra valley - definitely book this one!

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour, and the beautiful Yarra Valley. It was very leisurely, the wine stops were great, and there wasn't any pressure to buy, buy buy.
The lunch at Chandon Winery was really, really good!

Prompt hotel pick up. Driver Fiona (?) pleasant/non-intrusive/good local knowledge with spot-on recommendations and suggestions. 4 wineries visited were perfect intro to Yarra. Chocolate "shop" stop and dairy were welcome breaks from wine/cheese tasting. Thoroughly enjoyed day.

Doing what: Puffing Billy Steam Train, Yarra Valley and Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary Day Tour
My husband and I departed Federation Square on what was to be the beginning of one of the best day tours I have EVER undertaken and apart from the Itinerary, it was in no small part due to our driver PETER.
Peter could not have been more informative, his knowledge of Melbourne, The Dandenongs and The Yarra Valley was second to none and exactly what someone wanting to learn about our fair city and surrounds would be eager to learn. He also made everything so interesting.
Morning tea was great, Puffing Billy was fantastic, Lunch at Ferguson's Winery was wonderful and Healsville Sanctuary was a delight.
I am a Melbourne girl and I know a thing or two about my city but as it turns out, I know NOTHING compared to Peter.
At the end of a very long, but satisying day, I would not hesitate to reccomend this wonderful experience to anyone.
And if their other tours are anything like this one, we will be back for more.
And, if their other drivers are of the same calibre as Peter then I am sure the tours will be equally enjoyable.

The Yarra Valley Wine Tour was absolutely fantastic! The service was impeccable, the wines and meal delicious and the experiences worthwhile. We have told other friends and family about the wonderful day we had. We really enjoyed experiencing this part of Melbourne outside of the city.

We had a lovely day out with Epicurean tours. We visited a variety of wineries in the Yarra Valley as well as the Yarra Valley Dairy for afternoon tea. All food and tasting was included and our guide, Fiona went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and happy. Nothing was too much trouble.

The Yarra Valley wine tour was a lovely day out in country Victoria. The tour ran on time, was very informative about the area and the wines and lunch was delicious.

Excellent tour. Puffing Billy was amazing, though the trip could be a bit longer. Yarra Valley was very nice and so was the sanctuary, but a little rushed due to tour time limits. Our driver was fantastic, very funny. Highly Recommended.

This was an amazing trip and an incredible value. No tasting fees , gourmet lunch and free jokes in the beautiful Yarra Valley. Our driver Nick was a great host. I booked this online after typing in " best Yarra valley wine tour". This was the top hit and all great reviews.

What a fantastic day. Whilst you are at the mercy of the weather we had a perfect day and the atmosphere continued with the breakfast in the winery and a great crew and piolet. If you were ever to go hot air ballooning the Global Ballooning tour over the Yarra Valleu would have to be the pick of the crop!

I recently booked in for a day tour of Yarra Valley wineries with Viator. I would highly recommend the tour to all. The tour guide (Simon) has a wealth of knowledge of the wines produced, wineries and area. The tour was very personal with the guide remembering everyones name from the start.
