Our Regions
winery tours aren’t just for the Yarra Valley any more
enquire about our other great tours, in our less-traveled, less commercialised regions.Â
South Gippsland
This still somewhat undiscovered and untouched area is an absolute pleasure to explore. Complete with lush rolling green hills, sea swept beaches, and amazing boutique wineries to go with it – South Gippsland is as authentic as it is divine!
Many are now calling it the Yarra Valley of 15 years ago – but with water!
 Pinot Noir ~ Chardonnay
 Our Favourites:
- Gippsland Wine Co.
- Dirty 3 Wines
- The Gurdies
- Djinta Djinta
- Harman Wines
Mornington Peninsula
A newer, and more modern region than the Valley; what the Peninsula lacks in its quantity of Vineyards, it makes up for in the quality of them.
Bursting with character and atmosphere that you’d be hard pressed to find elsewhere, a visit down to the Peninsula will bring not only good tastes, but good times as well. Â
Chardonnay ~ Pinot Gris ~ Pinot NoirÂ
 Our Favourites:
- Red Hill Estate
- T’Gallant
- Montalto Winery
- Pt. Leo Estate
- The Cups Estate

It’s breathtaking scenery coupled with the amazing wine it produces has allowed it to become one of Australia’s most premier wine regions.Â

- If we need to cancel your tour due to Covid restrictions in place, we will offer you a FULL REFUND or the ability to select another date for travel.
- Vaccinations are currently not mandatory to board our bus, however we accept no responsibility should you be refused access from a certain location due to this.
ALL our staff are double-dosed. - Generally private group tours are exempt from density limits on buses – if we need to restrict the number of people on our buses, we will let you know of this as early as possible, and offer you a refund/date change should this be unavoidable for you.
- Masks will be mandatory for the foreseeable future. We ask that everyone brings one with them on tour. A written exemption by a medical professional must be shown if you are not able to wear one.
- We santisie our buses after every use, and ensure that proper cleaning procedures are followedIf you have any other concerns, please just ask.
For most days we do allow this – though there will be PLENTY on the Yarra Valley wine tour itself…you won’t go thirsty.
Above all, respect must be maintained at all times towards our driver, our bus, and your fellow travellers.
We do not allow glass on board.
We reserve the right at any time to order that drinks not be consumed.
Unfortunately, not for this Yarra Valley wine tour.
At this stage, we are only offering this as a private group tour – meaning groups need to be 6 or more in order to book in a day.
FOR PRIVATE GROUPS ONLY
Technically we don’t have a minimum number, we would be more than happy to provide any of our tours to a group of x2 or more.
However, our Tour prices are based on a minimum of x6 passengers.
If there were to be less than this, then we would customise the tour and price to suit you.
ADDITIONAL PEOPLE
We are generally pretty flexible with this, and as long as our vehicle can handle the additional people, as well as our venues can handle the additional people – then the more the merrier!
REMOVING PEOPLE
We understand that when booking so far in advance that sometimes plans change for people. This is why we always try to remain as flexible and understanding as possible.
NO!
We don’t like to include any hidden fees or hidden additional charges on the day.
The price you see here is all that you need to pay.
However, a few things you might choose to bring if you wish…
- Camera – for those great photo ops (though your phone normally suffices)
- Drink Bottle – always good to stay hydrated
- Extra Money – just in case you want to buy some more drinks, or even some to take home
All we ask is that you let us know of these upon booking so we can ensure we have time to prepare.
For Private Groups we require a $200 deposit to secure your booking and date.
We then require full payment 2 weeks prior to your date of travel.
