What to expect
Sleep in. You've earned it.
This is a wine tour for people who know the best things in life don't happen at 7am. Meet us at midday, already relaxed and ready to go, and let us take care of the rest.
We'll whisk you off to the Yarra Valley, one of Australia's most loved wine regions, where we've lined up three brilliant wineries for the afternoon. Think iconic estates like Yering Station alongside charming boutique producers that most visitors never get to discover.
Sip your way through regional favourites like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and if you're feeling fancy, treat yourself to an optional cheese or charcuterie board at one of the stops.
Back in Melbourne by 5:30pm. Just enough time to freshen up before dinner, or let's be honest, find another wine bar.

Reviews
From the moment we hopped on the bus, our host Possy set the tone for an incredible afternoon. He was everything you'd want in a guide - amazingly engaging, super knowledgeable, effortlessly funny, and full of genuine passion for the region. You don't just learn about wine with him... you feel the story behind every vineyard. The 12pm start time was perfect - we got to enjoy a slow, relaxing morning before diving into the adventure. And what an adventure it was! We visited three stunning vineyards, each offering exceptional wines that surprised us in the best way. Every tasting felt curated, personal, and memorable. This tour delivered beyond expectations - great wines, breathtaking views, and a host who truly made the experience special. If you're visiting Melbourne, do yourself a favour and book this. It's simply outstanding!
The overall experience was excellent. All wine tastings were included, so there was no need for additional payment. Our guide, Danny, was very humorous and shared recommendations for great restaurants and bars in Melbourne along the way. The optional cheese platter at the second stop was definitely worth trying; for AUD10 per person, the portion was generous and paired perfectly with the wine. We visited a total of three wineries, and they were very generous with the wine samples. The scenery was also fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
We visited three wineries in total and tasted 17 different wines. The entire trip was very relaxed and enjoyable, and half a day was just the right amount of time. My English isn't great, so there were some terms I didn't understand during the wine tasting explanations, but that's okay; I just followed along and drank the wine.
very nice! we tasted 17 different kinds of wine! The tour guide Mark is so nice and friendly! we had a great time!
I highly recommend this tour if you're looking for a fun wine tasting experience in Melbourne. Sean is such a humorous person, and very helpful in guiding us with not only the history of the wineries in Melbourne, but also gave us interesting facts about the places we visited. It was a fun filled day with a lot of laughter.
We did the full day Yarra Valley tour. The half day tour we were booked on was cancelled due to low numbers and were offered the full day instead. Although the full day tour was different to what we had originally booked as we had wanted the morning free on the day the 1/2 day tour was booked, we changed over and had an enjoyable day. Sean our guide from Dancing Kangaroo tours was great. Highly recommended!
Great Fun. Good to see all the different wineries.
Great tour. People should consider it seriously.
Worth experiencing, relaxing itinerary. Coach: Tour guide is friendly and fun.
