Experience Yarra Valley: A Tailored private Wine Journey

Found Ben on reviews on trip advisor and had a great trip to Melbourne thanks to culture quest and Ben. We had 3 separate tours on different days. For yarra valley winery we did 2 good wineries with a really nice lunch within one wonders. Ben tries to keep us on time but is flexible knowing it is a big group and elderly in the group as well. We went to puffing Billy after where he managed to get us tickets for a leg of the trip last minute. Was sufficient for us instead of the whole route. He takes time to share knowledge and facts about places or history which we loved too.

We definitely experienced a perfectly tailored tour of premium wineries suited to our tastes and we weren’t rushed to and fro. Ben did an amazing job and also shared his knowledge of Melbourne history and architecture on route to the wineries. It was obvious that he is well respected as we were warmly greeted at each winery (Oakridge, Domaine Chandon, Yering Station, Giant Steps) and 4 Pillars Distillery. And I must add that Ben chose an outstanding and beautiful place for us to dine — Yering Station. The courses were beautifully plated and delicious! We highly recommend Ben and Culture Quest Tours as he did an outstanding job in curating our wine tour today. Thank you!

Wonderful tour with Elena. We booked a 3 winery tour in the Yarra Valley but managed to fit in four (the extra winery tasting fee was at our cost of course). Elena was smart, funny, knowledgeable, and a good driver. We were very happy to have spent an afternoon with her. She suggested an excellent Lebanese restaurant for dinner and then dropped us off there at the end of our tour. Thank you Elena for a great day.

Our day started with Ben picking us up at our hotel in a very comfortable van. He was very knowledgeable about both Australian history in general as well as the history of wine in Yarra Valley. He spent a great deal of time prior to the trip asking questions about what type of wine we enjoyed and tailored the day to match. He secured reservations at wineries we had researched and suggested 2 others that were spot on. He was the perfect host and we both greatly enjoyed our day with him. I highly recommend him if Yarra Valley is on your list, and if it isn’t it should be!

Ben was great!! Very knowledgeable took us to amazing wineries and was a pleasure to talk to, HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Our day trip with Kenny was perfect! He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We visited fantastic wineries (Oakridge, Chandon, 4 Pillars Distillery for Gin) and had a spectacular lunch at Yering Station. This was our 3rd time to Melbourne and we hadn’t visited the Yarra Valley. It does not disappoint - it was stunning!

Great day learning about the Yarra Valley and their wines. 3 cellar doors, each different but all representing the best of the Yarra Valley. Kenny did a fantastic job of getting us through the region, keeping us entertained with the occasional reminder of our scheduled itinerary. Even with a late start, Kenny was gracious and friendly the entire day.
