I just wanted to say a big *thanks* from my friends and I for what was a fantastic day touring the Yarra Valley wine region recently. We took up one of your small group tours and it was superb - just what we were hoping for. The relaxed, yet subtly 'planned' nature of the tour was a perfect balance and helped us to really see the YV region and some great wineries (and Dairy - a definite
fav!) but not feel in any way rushed. We really didn't want that day to end however, the best bit is we've
still got some remains to sip on. I'd definitely recommend your company to others and consider you guys again when down that way. Thanks again from the
Melbourne/Queensland/London folk,
Tanya, Carlo, Sarah, Matt & Benn - 12/01/2011
