On most tours, the first stop is the iconic and historic Yering Station. Here enjoy signature wines from a well-established producer.
On most tours, our second winery choices are a little surprise - it keeps our tour experience fresh. Occasionally it is Yileena Park Estate.

Occasionally it is Soumah Estate where you are surrounded by the beautiful hills of the Yarra Valley. Enjoy highly aromatic wines followed by time to indulge in their lovely piazza menu (food at own expense).

There was nature at a reasonable distance, and I was truly relaxed. Delicious wine and Mother Nature, great 👍 It was good to be here as a family.
Great day, great guide (Shaun) and great winery’s. Very much enjoyed the day!
We had an incredible time! We really wanted to visit some vineyards and this couldn’t have been more perfect! A beautifully curated day and Sean couldn’t have been anymore amazing! His amazing combination of professionalism, humour and warmth honestly made our trip, it wouldn’t have been the same without him! Highly highly recommend especially with him as your guide!
sean was the best! loved the wines and the views
Loved the trip, loved Shaunie! Much easier than planning three wine trips in one day
The 3 wineries were fantastic and it did not feel rushed. Shawn was a great host and tour guide. He gave us lots of facts about the area along with some comedy mixed in. He created a great, friendly atmosphere that got the whole group talking to one another.
Excellent choice of vineyards and guide Shaun was humorous, knowledgeable and helpful. Overall six hours well spent.
Had the most relaxing wine tasting tour truly. Our guide, Sean was an absolute delight and made the whole experience extra special and memorable. Highly recommend both Sean and Dancing Kangaroo for your next wine tasting experience.
I brought my parents who were over visiting from Ireland and we all loved it. Shawn was very informative and friendly and was an expert on the wineries and surrounding history . We would recommend.
Excellent tour guide. Great wineries and the hosts were so friendly and knowledgeable. Great wine!
