A Wine Tour Highlighted by Great Vibes and Gin

Francis_L, Nov 2024

This tour was an excellent choice for a small group of friends! Sean Nguyen’s witty personality, along with the cool bus and great music, set the tone for an amazing day. The first stop, Helen & Joey Estate, featured a welcoming host, delightful wines, and tasty nibbles. The second and third wineries also impressed, and the included lunch was a nice touch. The day was perfectly capped off with a visit to Four Pillars Gin, which was the highlight of the tour! Huge thanks to Sean for making this an unforgettable wine tour experience. Highly recommend!

Must-do for wine lovers

Lisa_H, Nov 2024

This was such an excellent overview of Yarra Valley wines. Our driver and guide was incredibly knowledgeable and every winery took the time to explain the wines and what made them special. Chardonnay and Pinot noir are the predominant varietals, so if that’s what you like, you’ll love these tastings.

Something for everyone!

Barbara_H, Oct 2024

Guide was very knowledgeable, light hearted, easily approached for questions. The winery’s selected were very good but all slightly different in taste and process. Chocolate and ice cream are excellent. The beer/cider tasting was great and refreshing at the end of the day. If you are not a wine efficionado you will learn a lot! If you are then great discussions await you. The small group makes it perfect!

Incredible Day at the Yarra Valley Wines, Beer/Gin, Chocolate Tour & Lunch!

Firah_J, Oct 2024

I just got back from an incredible day at the Yarra Valley Wines, Beer/Gin, Chocolate Tour & Lunch with my friends, and I can’t stop recalling the event and smiling! Our guides, especially Mike, were so friendly and kind. He made everyone feel welcome and excited right from the start. The tour was packed with so much fun! We sampled a heavenly amount of excellent wines, explored stunning wineries, and discovered some extremely delicious gins along the way. I learned so much about the different flavors and production processes while soaking in the beautiful scenery. It was such a joyful atmosphere! And let’s talk about the chocolate shopping—I could have spent hours shopping for everything! My pocket would definitely burst! It was chocolate shopping therapy! Not forgetting having my favorite mint ice cream to top it all off was just amazing! A huge thank you to the Dancing Kangaroo Tours team for putting together such an awesome itinerary. If you’re looking for a delightful day filled with laughter, learning, and tasty goodies, I can’t recommend this tour enough! The friendly and kind nature of the guides made the experience even more special. It’s hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had in Melbourne. Don’t miss out!

Best tour of the Yarra

Sophie_T, Jun 2024

Fantastic tour of the region with great food, wine and people. A super fun environment with a small group and something for everyone. Our guide (Danny) certainly enhanced the experience with his knowledge and humour. A must do whilst staying in Melbourne!!

Great wine tour!

Emily_H, Jun 2024

Danny was awesome at keeping the tour organized, getting to know everyone and providing clear expectations of what the tour consisted of. He made us feel very comfortable and safe while traveling.

Great day!

Bradley_B, Jun 2024

What a lovely day in Yarra Valley! Our guide Sean was incredibly informative, stayed on schedule, and accommodated guests as needed. I did this tour on my own and I would highly recommend it for solo travelers or those traveling with friends or family. You drink a decent amount of wine so it turns out that you easily make friends! Sean’s family worked in the vineyards so he knew a lot about the way making process and about local Australian wine. I would recommend this to anyone!

Lovely day in the Yarra

elysebraysher, Jun 2024

Lovely day out with our passionate tour guide Shaun. Made the day interesting and picked lovely places to go. Lunch was excellent and created a fun group atmosphere for the day. Pacing of the tour was great and allowed for plenty of time at each location.

Perfect Yarra Valley day trip!

John_M, Jun 2024

Wonderful full day trip with Karen!!! Beautiful wineries, delicious lunch and spectacular scenery!! Perfect day trip from Melbourne!

Dont miss this tour - perfect day out.

Wendy_E, May 2024

Everything about this tour was enjoyable. Our driver Karen was a great host, she was friendly and easy going. The tour ran like clock work. The wineries visited were interesting and the hosts doing the wine tasting were informative. We had a beautiful lunch which our group enjoyed. The chocolate factory was interesting and we were spoilt for choice as the place is packed with chocolate to buy, we settled for an ice cream, be warned they are big. The last stop was the gin tasting, again, perfectly run and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour. We were a large group of 10 and everyone had a really good day.
