If I could give this 6 stars I would This tour was above and beyond what I expected. John, our driver was so nice and super friendly he went out of his way to make the day extra special for us. We had a wonderful time in the Peninsula and even seeing some of the sights around Philip Bay. Lunch was incredible and the handmade morning tea was a wonderful touch. I would super recommend the trip to the Mornington Peninsula to anyone and I am sure that they are just as amazing on the rest of their tours.View reviewAlexT7801

Professional, Fun, and Complete Took two separate tours with Wine Tours and each one has professionals who knew their subject, were timely and fun. The wineries we visited were perfect to get a good knowledge of Australian wines and the lunch was pleasant and delicious. Cannot recommend the Wine Tours group more!View reviewKendraelaine

A Great Day Out Trevor and the team were so accommodating and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend using this Wine Tour company, they tailor the day to you and you can go at your own pace and follow your own interests. We had an absolute great time, learnt a lot about wine and the Mornington Peninsula and took home some great memories (and a few bottles as well). View review

What a fabulous company, we can’t recommend them highly enough. From the ease of booking right through to being dropped back at our Melbourne hotel everything was fabulous. John our guide for the day could not have been more helpful and delightful. The selection of Yarra Valley wineries we visited was perfect and the morning tea & homemade fruit cake YUM! Will definitely be booking another tour with them to try out the wineries on the Mornington Peninsular. Thanks again Trevor & John, we shall be returning.

This was my second time ‘touring’ with Wine Tours Victoria and I think I preferred the Mornington Peninsula over the Yarra trip. Both had similar format but the wineries and the lunch were more to my liking on this tour.Our guide Melissa had just the right mix of professionalism and flexibility.
We never felt rushed,nor did we feel we had too long at any of the wineries or the wonderful lunch at Merricks General Store.Fun company also made for a great day out….Thanks Melissa and Wine Tours Victoria.

Big shout out to Wine Tour Victoria & especially our driver/host John. His knowledge of the Yarra Valley and surrounding region made our day so much more interesting. Its obvious he has a passion for wine and history.
On the drive out, John was quick to suss out our tastes and preferences with regards to wines and directed us to some very interesting wineries. We were not disappointed with the venues we visited. Lunch was at the excellent Tokar Estate and we managed to sneak a quick visit into Yarra Valley Dairy, before making the trip back To Melbourne.
We would definitely book with Wine Tours Victoria again, but to maybe explore another region next time.

We had a great time with our Yarra valley wine tour with John as our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and patient. He picked us up at out apartment on time, had yummy fruit cake and coffee for breakfast before the first stop. The wineries visited were all great, the lunch we had at Tokar estate was delicious. All in all we had a wonderful experience even though I got sick at the last part. We highly recommend this wine tour company, from the ease of booking and friendly guide, we will surely book them once we’re back in Australia.
My sister and I had a wonderful day on the Yarra Valley wine tour. The previous year we went on the Mornington Peninsula wine .tour.
The wineries offered friendly service and beautiful wines. Lunch was exceptional.
Our driver was fantastic.
