★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 821 reviews · from $135Our pick

Review of the Yarra Valley grazing tour from Melbourne, with wine, cheese, gin, pizza, chocolate, transport, tips, value, and practical details.

“The tour director ( Chris) was very pleasing, knowledable and safe ( Chris made sure that all passengers wore their seat belts as is the Australian law. Chris did not overtalk- he gave us the facts and then returned to playing music. The places that we visited were very pleasant. We were never rushed and Chris gave us a time at each stop that we had to return to the bus. Our favourites were the cheese dairy, Balgownie Estate and Four Pillars Gin Distillery. Overall a very pleasant day and would highly recommend this day tour to other visitors to Melbourne.”
