Yarra valley food and wine tour - Really had a great day from start to finish! Rick was a great and entertaining host. Started off with fruit, then wine tasting in 2 venues, my favourite was the 2nd venue Rochford winery and our lunch there was lovely. Then we headed to the chocolate factory where we had a chocolate demo, here the ice-cream was delicious and portion more than adequate. If you are into cheese, our final stop was a cheese factory where there was cheese tasting. Overall a brilliant day and good value for money. The Yarra area is actually beautiful to drive though as well.

Ideal Day Trip - What an amazing experience! We were fortunate to have Rick himself as our driver and guide. Lots of historical information about the Melbourne and Yarra area. 5 stops: fruit, 2 wineries, chocolate and cheese. Lovely lunch in Rochford Winery 🍷. Highly Recommended.

Amazing wine tour! - The Yarra Valley wine tour with Rick was very good! He is a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, in both the wine and also the history of Yarra. I would suggest going with the option that includes lunch as its better value for you get a choice of 4 options. You also get a free bottle of wine, which is a plus! Overall I'd really recommend Rick's tours!

Entertaining and engaging trip :) - Had an absolute blast with this tour! The wine tasting was well conducted and just the right amount of time was spent at each location. Starting off with fresh fruits certainly helped freshen everyone up. Lunch was decent and worth the money. Most of all, the guide's engaging and educational commentary was great. Really appreciated him taking the time to let us swing past a side road to take a look for some kangaroos as well. Cheers.
