★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,552 reviews · from $93Our pick

Join Teepee Tours at 9:00 am near Melbourne’s Railway Station for an 8.5-hour Yarra Valley outing. You’ll usually visit two wineries, a gin distillery, and the chocolaterie, with beer or extra wine as alternatives. Guides such as Matt, Callum, Andrew, and Peter keep the day social and flexible.

“Fun day - Callum, our driver, was helpful and relaxed - kept the group together without making us feel too much to schedule. I would only suggest some room on the bus for wine or chocolate purchases/somewhere to put water etc - quite tight seating with a full bus.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 652 reviews · from $89

Travel from Sydney in a small luxury minibus with guide Sam or another Kangarrific Tours host. Meet koalas and kangaroos at a wildlife sanctuary, taste cheese and chocolate, visit two boutique wineries, and stop for lunch in the Hunter Valley. Expect a long day, extra tasting fees, and a small group of up to 11.

“Nice tour, the wildlife park is really nice and obvious animals well looked after, I personally would prefer lunch at a winery rather than a resort, the first winery I didn’t rate - Allandale, just wasn’t great at all. Second winery was beautiful and really good - Bon Villa, and would be nice to have a bit livelier music on way home. With a change of lunch venue and changing out first winery would be 5 star. Sam was a really good guide and knowledgable.”
