Amazing experience with Rick Wine Tours! - I booked this strawberries, wine and chocolate tasting tour on klook and I have no regrets! Our guide, Rick is amazing! He shares his knowledge on the history of melbourne in the go and actively engage us with fun facts of the places we pass by as we en route to Yarra Valley. Every place we visited was great and enjoyable, with good service! The pace of the tour is just right too, with everything well planned out by our guide

Tour with Bernie (what a legend) - Sneaky day off work to enjoy a day in the Yarra Valley. Bernie runs a great laid back tour that doesn’t feel rushed or regimented. Friendly and welcoming approach made the day an absolute pleasure.
10/10 recommend. Would totally do again and will definitely recommend to any visitors looking for this kind of experience!

Absolutely brilliant experience - We were lucky enough to have the eponymous Rick as our tour guide and he made sure we had a marvelous time. Each stop had something tasty to offer, from the farm with its fantastic spread of local produce to the wineries - all great variety. I also liked that it was a small group tour, it just felt way more intimate and making the friends was all the easier with the wine flowing. Rick himself is really attentive and great to have a chat with. Expect to fall asleep on the trip back into the CBD. Everything about this tour gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Thank you so much!

Great Day in Yarra Valley - We had an amazing day in Yarra Valley. Rick took us to three great winerys. Lunch was of such a high quality at Rochford. Really loved the chocolate tasting as well as the fruit tasting in the morning. We even had time to do two additional gin tastings: one after lunch at Rochford and one at Four Pillars. Rick also told us so many things about Melbourne and Yarra Valley. Really recommend!
