Gourmet Food and Wine Adventure in Yarra Valley

We absolutely loved the itinerary of this tour! It was such a treat to experience not just the region’s incredible wines but also the variety of local produce that Yarra Valley has to offer. Each stop felt thoughtfully chosen and gave us a real taste of the area’s charm. We even had a bonus winery visit and enjoyed an extra plate of cheese in place of the chocolate tasting, which was a delightful surprise. A special mention goes to our guide, Mel, who was wonderfully warm, accommodating, and thoughtful throughout the day. She made the experience feel so seamless and personal, and her genuine passion for the region really shone through. Overall, it was a beautifully balanced day full of flavour, discovery, and great memories!

tourist guide is really helpful and considerate. she made our trip to be the best one among others. we went to three wine tasting places, a daily produce restaurant and a chocolate manufacturing place. The place for lunch is fantastic too. good food and good vibe.

The tour guide was very friendly. Even though I didn't speak English well, he was willing to chat with me for a few sentences. He was like a lovely and warm father (grandfather). The tour guide enjoyed his job very much and gave us full of positive energy. I really liked his infectiousness. He constantly cares about everyone during the trip, and is very responsible and humorous in his introductions. I really like his hearty laughter. The time arrangement for each attraction was very appropriate, starting with the tasting of fresh fruits, followed by a variety of chocolates with different flavors, and lunch (beef, chicken, fish or vegetarian) in a comfortable atmosphere. Finally, we arrived at three wineries, tasted a lot of wines, and chatted with fellow tourists. It was a wonderful trip.

We definitely enjoy the tour! Bernie was so friendly and guided us through the tour, giving informations (including the histories) of places we passed by and went to. The wine tasting and chocolates are amazing!! 🥂🥂 We also enjoy our lunch at the rochford! Highly recommended this tour! 😁😁

Enjoyed the whole itinerary. From Kangaroo sighting, chocolate and wine tasting plus a take home bottle of wine for all of us! It was all so good and our driver was also very sweet and kind to offer us a photo and share lots of info on our way to our destination. there was no dull moment on the entire trip. Will definitely recommend this tour to my friends coming in to Melb.

we were able to visit two wineries and tasted 8-9 wines from this package. loved the experience (even if i dont really drink much) of fruit, wine and chocolate tasting. must try if your visiting melbourne.

Rick's tour was superb. It wasn't cramped so we really enjoyed every stop. perhaps, the fruit tasting stop could be improved if we were brought to a fruit picking experience. they were generous with the wine they served for tasting. the chocolate tasting stop was also nice with the views and all. the lunch at Isabella's was awesome. free-flowing coffee was an amazing bonus as well.

It was a fantastic experience! surely for adults only. you’ll get a little tipsy from all the wines you have tasted. Rick and Bernie are so fun to be with! this tour is informative and experience is one for the books.

Tour guide is enthusiasm and explain a lot of Melbourne history. Fruit is fresh and nice. We can taste different type of wine, both red wine and white wine.

We enjoyed the tour very much but personally I think we should spend more time at yarra valley chocolaterie and skip yarra farm fresh since there is no fruits at the farm for plucking so hopefully next time Rick could do some changes to the itinerary depending on the seasons. Pick up & drop off location was good and of course Rick is awesome too, funny friendly and kind 😊
