Great tour to the Yarra valley. - Three wineries, a brewery, ice cream all with lunch. The wineries were well chosen and provided good selections of their wines to taste. Beer was a paddle of six beers from the brewery. The tour guide was great, friendly, and provided a fun outing for all. There was a good selection of food for the lunch. Overall this was a great tour.

So fun! - The wine, gin, and beer tasting tour with Sean-y was so much fun. The tastings were delicious, informative, and in beautiful settings. From the curated music played while traveling between venues to the jokes and laughs- I've never been on a better tour. Our guide felt more like a friend by the end of the day, and the entire van was singing songs together on the ride home. A highlight for sure!

The Best Day Out - We had a fabulous time with Sean doing this tour. We went for our anniversary and as my husband and I don't usually drink wine, we didn't have much expectations... we went for the gin! Sean was so knowledgeable about everything wine and we really loved the Rob Dolan wines - maybe enough to convert! Sean was really conversational and had a great sense of humor. We would definitely recommend it to others. Next time I want to try the one with chocolate!

Great tour - Our tour guide Danny was great. Informative and chatty but not too chatty. Great winery choices and the beer and chocolate were a good contrast.
