This tour was very well planned. We had an excellent tour guide who seemed genuinely thrilled to show us the sites and tell us a few yarns. We learned a lot and had a really fantastic day topped off with a beautiful lunch and great wine.

We were really delighted with the whole experience. We had a great coach driver, and the train ride were great. The lunch was amazing, and we ended up buying some wine to bring home. The wine tasting was interesting and the champagne at Chardon was amazing. If we did it again, we would like to visit the animal park. We absolutely loved it and highly recommend it to everyone.

The whole trip was amazing. The tour guide was excellent, and the train was wonderful. Lunch was excellent, and the wineries were interesting and welcoming. Even the pouring rain didn't take the shine off this trip.

Great trip, great driver, and good overall coverage, although at Domaine Chandon I would have liked to have been offered sparkling red as well as white with our snack. I'd recommend this to anyone. Go for it.

This trip is awesome. My husband, myself and our 6 children had a wonderful day out. Puffing Billy is incredible, not to mention the scenery. The lunch at the winery is superb and the information gained on the tour, simply first class. Thanks, Graham & Sue & 6 kids.

What can I say - Puffing Billy was the highlight for me and the vineyards for my wife. A wonderful day.

This was my second time taking this trip and I thoroughly enjoyed it again. The excellent commentary provided by our driver, feeding the birds at morning tea, riding the Puffing Billy, and an absolutely scrumptious lunch at the winery. After visiting two other wineries, we ended at Chandon Moet and were treated to an excellent tour and wine tasting, complimented by the fabulous views. This really made a great ending to the day before our trip back to Melbourne. I highly recommend this tour!

It was a great and entertaining day out. The tour guide was excellent and very informative. Puffing Billy was fun. Would recommend the experience to anyone wanting a great day in the Yarra Valley. Only small criticism was that the tasting at the second winery I believe this was a substitute for the original destination we were given ten different wines to taste within about five minutes. This was far too rushed and it was impossible to sort out the taste of different wines even drinking water in between. We still had about 20 minutes to fill in at the end of the tasting so it wasn't as though we were running behind time.

We really enjoyed this tour. It was great to go to the wineries, as we are not really wine people. But after tasting Moscato wine, I am now converted. Puffing Billy was great, and the lunch at the winery was fantastic. What a great day!

Everything about this trip was great except one of the wineries they could not get rid of us quick enough and it was a waste of time.

Really great tour. The views were beautiful. Our guide was interesting. Just be careful when you feed the birds, one picked my finger instead of the seeds and it hurt. The Chandon Domain visit was absolutely awesome.

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.
