Reviews
Despite the iffy weather, this wine tasting tour was totally awesome! Booked with Dancing Kangaroo tours and was not disappointed. The driver was Sean and he is also the owner/operator. He is a wealth of information regarding the area, history and vineyards/wines. His narration during the drive was far from boring! He's a natural speaker - full of facts delivered with fun and interest. Highly recommend this tour!
I was on this trip solo as my husband was at a convention but the group couldn't have been any friendlier! I knew from the moment our host Sean closed the doors of the van and set off that this was going to be a great day. Everyone was ready for fun and Sean saw to it that we enjoyed every minute, especially our time in the van between stops. Each stop was wonderful but I have to say that the meal was really fantastic.. So fresh and delicious in such a gorgeous setting. There was such a variety with the wine, cheese, food and chocolates. And Sean brings so much amazing energy to the day. It was worth every penny. Don't hesitate. If you like wine, food and fun you MUST do this trip.
Sean who owns and runs Dancing Kangaroo Wine Tours was so much fun. He knows and understands the Yarra Valley and his knowledge of wine making was excellent. He is very passionate about the YarraValley and wine, and it showed. Thank you Sean for a wonderful day.
We enjoyed our Christmas Eve wine tour. The guide was very welcoming and tried very hard to ensure that everyone had a good day. We enjoyed our lunch and the main places we visited. The wineries and the brewery were very good but I found the visit to the chocolate manufacturer to be very busy and a bit hectic. We did all enjoy our day and would recommend this tour.
Most enjoyable day in the beautiful Yarra Valley. Sean is an excellent guide who spent time with everyone on the tour Lunch was great as were all the sites we visited.
Tasted a lot of different wines, had a very nice lunch and a fun guide!
Fantastic tour. Great guide. Good food/lunch. If you plan to buy ice cream at the chocolate factory, share it with someone, single scoop is equivalent to 2-3 normal scoops.
Sean, our guide who also owns this particular tour company pours his heart into this experience and is quick to share his wide-ranging knowledge about the wine industry and about the countryside. His positive energy made him a joy to be around and his timing of our stops throughout the day kept the wine tastings enjoyable as he mixed in the visits to the cheese shop, pizza lunch, and chocolate shop. It was a totally enjoyable, memorable day!
