Laid back,Small-Group Yarra Valley Wine Tour :Wine,Gin,Cider+more
Our wine tour is a social, down to earth and laid back trip that offers great wines, gin,cider and more..and we have a laugh doing it!
We'll pick you up in the morning and focus on everyone getting to know each other. We get everyone to add to a Spotify playlist so we have some tunes and spend the first hour just chatting!
Every tour is different. Everything we do on my trip is discussed by the group in the morning. We will give you options to choose from including many different wineries, Distilleries, a cheese place,a chocolate factory, Cideries, restaurants and breweries.
However if you just want to come along and put your trust in us, we will visit 4 or 5 unique venues, all with a point of difference.
Generally we do 2 wineries,a restaurant,a distillery and either,a chocolate place or a champagne place.
We don't include lunch in the price, so we go to a restaurant (Quarters) where you can order/pay what you want to eat/drink.
We use a 24 seater bus, but only fill 10-18 seats
