Peninsula cancelled, but a good alternative
Unfortunately it turns out I was the only person booked for the Peninsula that day (or any other day I had available), but Paul communicated really well, and swapped me onto a Yarra Valley tour instead.
A great day was had at the Yarra, with an excellent guide in Cam, and a really good (small) group. Started off with a couple of larger wineries ... a 'safe bet' but good wines, and a couple that exceeded expectations, with a beautiful lunch at Yering Station.
After lunch, the wineries got smaller, and the wine got better, with a bottle from each added to my luggage (assuming they last!)
Really enjoyable day overall, definitely recommend Vinetrekker to anyone looking for a wine trip in the Melbourne area.
Operator response
Thank you Notts_KK for taking the time to review your tour. We're thrilled to hear you loved your tour to the Yarra Valley and that Cam took very good care of you. It's the most popular wine region from Melbourne so fortunately we had a tour to move you over to. Thanks for your support, we greatly appreciate it.

The Ultimate Melbourne Wine Experience!
I cannot recommend Vinetrekker highly enough! I recently completed three separate tours around Melbourne's stunning wine regions, and every single one exceeded my expectations.
What truly sets this company apart is their outstanding guides, Paul and Shane. They are incredibly professional, warm, and possess an absolute wealth of knowledge. Instead of just guiding us through tastings, they shared the fascinating history, heritage, and unique stories behind each individual winery we visited. It gave the entire experience so much more depth and meaning.
The wineries themselves were brilliantly selected, offering a fantastic insight into the wide range and distinct styles of wines that these regions are famous for. Whether you are a seasoned wine enthusiast or a casual taster, Vinetrekker provides a world-class experience. A massive thank you to Paul and Shane—I will definitely be back!
Operator response
Thanks Kmakowski82 for your review and we're delighted to read how much you loved all three of our tours. Each itinerary looks to offer the best possible overview of the region's wine and to hear we succeeded puts a smile on our faces. Our guides are an integral part of the day and share a wealth of information that enhances the day greatly. It was a pleasure to have you travel with us and thanks so much for your support.

PERFECT DAY OUT!
VINETREKKERS provide an amazing experience. Our tour guide Paul was knowledgeable, professional & went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. We visited a variety of cellar doors & lunch was an absolute highlight. The whole day was incredibly well organised & the door to door pick up & drop off made it completely stress free. Highly recommended this experience if you’re looking to explore the region.

Lovely day for wine tasting
This day tour was lovely experience. Our driver/guide Andy was amazing and so professional. He told us lots of information about the area and he took great care of us. You could have conversation about anything with Andy. We visited four different vineyards. One of the tasting included some locally made cheese tasting also. The lunch was delicious. Highly recommend to book this tour if wine tasting is your thing.

Fantastic tour! Paul was great. He was very knowledgeable, and personalized the tasting menu to our preferences. The tour groups are very small, which allows for such great service. We had fabulous wines, and bought several to take home. Highly recommend!

Excellent Mornington Peninsula Wine Tour
We did this tour as part of our honeymoon! We enjoyed 4 wonderful tastings ( 3 before lunch, one after lunch), and each winery had its own personality, vibe, and beautiful views even during winter season. We then had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Our guide Paul was very knowledgable about the wine and the area. He even arranged the shipment home of the wine we purchased, which had it easier on us to not have the hassle. We visited Yabby Lake Vineyard, Crittenden Estate, Quealy, and Ten Minutes by Tractor. Our personal favorite was Crittenden Estate.
10/10 recommend!
