Overview
WE HAVE 1000'S OF FIVE STAR REVIEWS!
After years of providing private group tours for friends, family and businesses, we realised how much we love to please people and try and go the extra mile to see a bigger smile at the end of the day.
So we built out our new Yarra Valley Public Tour that has the necessary itinerary but also has flexibility to split up the group depending on their preferences on wine, gin, cheese and chocolate.
Most days you will find yourself being driven by the owner. If he is having a rare day off, you will be in the capable hands of one of his few trusted tour guides that also share his ethos of 'Going the extra mile to see a smile'
What's Included
- Driver with a good taste in music that takes requests
- A chilled bottle of water on the vehicle for you.
- Air-conditioned vehicle
- A guided chocolate tasting
- Wine and gin tastings
- Alcoholic Beverages
- Lunch - We stop at a winery where you can buy or bring your own food. We felt you have more choice and freedom this way. Only food bought at the winery can comsumed at the winery.

Hubert Estate
We visit 'Quarters' restaurant @ Hubert Estate every day for lunch and a look around their indigenous art gallery on the floor below their cellar door. If you brought your own food, you can eat it somewhere away from their grounds. We will sit in the restaurant and enjoy lunch together. Food and drink are not included in the tour price here, as to give you more freedom to enjoy whatever you choose for your lunch. They offer a wide variety of fantastic food here and cater for all dietary requirements. "With a menu full of Modern Australian and European inspired dishes, Quarters is perfect for foodies, families, and everyone in between. Think succulent steaks, vibrant local veg, and delicate, flaky fish. Feeling extra hungry? Try some pasta, handmade on site, and our incredible (yes, incredible) woodfired pizza, unlike any others in the region. Lucky everyone has a second stomach for dessert, because our dedicated team of pastry chefs will tempt anyone with a sweet tooth."
