Aventura Gourmet de Comida e Vinho no Vale de Yarra

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!

The tourist guide is really helpful and considerate. She made our trip the best among others. We went to three wine tasting places, a daily produce restaurant, and a chocolate manufacturing place. The lunch spot was fantastic too, with good food and a good vibe.

The tour guide was incredibly kind. Even though my English isn't great, he was happy to chat with me for a long time, like a lovely, warm father (or grandfather). He clearly enjoys his job very much and filled us with positive energy; I truly loved his infectious enthusiasm. Throughout the trip, he constantly checked in on everyone and gave responsible yet humorous introductions. I really liked his hearty laugh. The timing for each attraction was perfectly arranged, starting with fresh fruit tasting, followed by a wide variety of chocolates with different flavors, then enjoying lunch (beef, chicken, fish, or vegetarian) in a comfortable atmosphere, and finally arriving at three wineries to taste many wines and chat with fellow travelers. It was a wonderful trip.

We definitely enjoy the tour! Bernie was so friendly and guided us through the tour, giving information (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. I loved the experience (even if I don't really drink much) of fruit, wine, and chocolate tasting. A must-try if you're 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 the experience is one for the books.

The tour guide was enthusiastic and explained a lot about Melbourne's history. The fruit was fresh and delicious. We were able to taste different types of wine, both red and white.

We enjoyed the tour very much, but personally I think we should spend more time at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and skip Yarra Farm Fresh, as there were no fruits for picking at the farm. Hopefully, next time Rick can make some changes to the itinerary depending on the seasons. The pick-up and drop-off location was good, and of course, Rick is awesome too – funny, friendly, and kind 😊
