Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour

This is probably the best bang for buck Yarra Valley wine tour you’ll ever find. 3 wineries where each gives you 5-6 tasting wines and a chocolatier where you get 12 artisan chocolates??? for A$130 including transport in this economy??? pretty amazing I’d say! also you’ll get tons of beautiful pictures of and on the vineyard. also our tour guide, Tom, did an wonderful job today getting us everywhere safely, cracked some jokes to keep it fun and interesting, and put on a solid playlist along the way. would def recommend ✨

Gilberto was great fun, driving us to Yarra Valley and back, while providing useful information along the way. We managed to spot some wild kangaroos along the way. He also has excellent taste in music. The trip covers 3 wineries and 1 chocolatier. I think most people had enough wine by the last stop, even after the chocolate stop, so perhaps may be worth swapping the final winery for some other stop on Yarra Valley.

My mum and I had an absolutely wonderful time on this winery tour during our trip to Melbourne. The wineries were beautiful, the wine tastings were excellent, and the entire day was well organised from start to finish. A huge thank you to Matt, our guide and driver, who truly made the experience special. He was friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the tour. We especially loved the Spotify playlist he had playing during the drive — it was full of great songs and created such a fun and relaxing atmosphere. We found ourselves enjoying the music almost as much as the wine! Matt's great personality, local knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm made the day even more memorable. My mum and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Melbourne. Thank you, Matt, for helping create such wonderful memories for us!

I really enjoyed this tour and thought it was very well-planned from start to finish. We visited two wineries in the morning and got to taste around 10 different wines, then had lunch, followed by a chocolatery stop for dessert. In the afternoon, we visited another winery where we could either continue wine tasting or just relax with non-alcoholic drinks, which I appreciated after having quite a bit of wine already 😄 I also loved the beautiful vineyard views along the way. Matt was a great driver and tour guide — easy to talk to, friendly, and he made me feel comfortable as a solo traveller. He also takes really good photos! Overall, this was such a chill and relaxing experience, and I’d definitely recommend it if you have extra time in Melbourne and want to try something a bit different.

Had such a great time on this winery tour — definitely one of the highlights of my trip! We visited Soumah for wine tasting, followed by Hubert Estate where we had lunch. I also loved that there was an option to explore the gallery there, which made the stop feel more than just about wine. We also stopped by the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie (a fun and sweet trip!) before heading to Balgownie Estate. At Balgownie, I really appreciated that you could choose between doing another wine tasting or just getting a glass and relaxing on the deck — such a nice way to enjoy the view at your own pace. There was plenty of wine tasting throughout the day, but it never felt rushed. Everything was enjoyable. Big shoutout to our guide who was always on time, super organised, and consistently checked in on everyone to make sure we were all good. Overall, a really well-run tour with a great mix of wine and scenery. 100% recommend this tour!

Gilberto is super nice with a bit of Italian garnish on top, so supeeeeer superrrr warm! we had trouble at first bcz of my sons age, but Matt managed to put us into Gilberto’s bigger bus, i owe him! the trip was super, lunch was great, would defit redo this in the near future! our favo is St Hubert’s wine, however Soumah is picturesque! Gilberto is a great Nanny,, my sons loved him!

The weather was wonderful! David was simply the best! The entire trip was very relaxing and enjoyable! And we could taste many different types of wine, which I had never tried before! It was simply perfect!

Had an amazing Yarra Valley wine tour! Everything was smooth, well-paced, and absolutely worth it. Big shoutout to Matt for being such a great driver and guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole day even better.

Fantastic experience with Red Carpet Wine Tours. Everything was smooth and well organised, and our guide Richard was brilliant! Friendly, knowledgeable and made the day really enjoyable. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend!

Matt was great! He drove us around and away from the city! Breath-taking view, wine-tasting was great! Chocolate factory was awesome! Wouldn’t mind to repeat all over again, it was unforgettable solo trip! Thank you, Matt!
