The Domaine Chandon tour was great but it would have been nice to have time to taste and purchase some wine. After doing the tour the tour needs to spend more time at this winery, more than other wineries. I asked other tour memebers and they also agreed.

We had a great day; the driver was helpful, funny and a good driver. We would recommend the tour to others and probably would do other tours when we next visit Melbourne.

The train ride was great but too short. The wineries were well chosen, interesting and fun. Lunch was delicious and plentiful, which was just as well as we did not receive our advertised afternoon tea platter at Domaine Chandon. We were too rushed because there were other tour groups joining us for the winery tour, which then took too long. It was a disappointing end to a great day. Our bus was comfortable, and the driver was entertaining and knowledgeable.

This is a good day trip with excellent wines to taste in pleasant surroundings. We had a very good driver as well. It was a pity about the dreadful traffic in the city when we got back.

Excellent tour and lunch. Only one minor complaint in that the pick up point was incorrect but we got there in the end.

Fabulous views from Puffing Billy. I would have liked more time at Dandenongs and wineries for actual wine making tours and a separate trip to Healesville.

This was a very nice trip - we saw alot of the countryside, the winery lunch was excellent, and the Healsville Sanctuary was a great place to get close and personal with all the native wildlife. The guides at the sanctuary were great.

Excellent day out. Driver/guide had amazing knowledge of the area - train trip was excellent. Visited 3 wineries including Chandon- superb value for money.

I liked it, though a smaller and more intimate tour would have been good.

It was good and worth doing, but we found that out of all the tours that we did, this was the most rushed tour. There was only a taste of Puffin Billy, and not enough time to really taste the wines and see the wineries.

Not enough time on the Puffing Billy and the wineries were on the expensive side, with not enough variety. Far from the best wine tour I've been on. We were expecting to see more of the country side, little country towns. It would've been nice to have the opportunity to look around the townships more.

Could have used more time at each of the wineries.
