“What a fantastic time we had on our Yarra Valley wine tasting tour! Our driver, Rob a Melbourne native, was, prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. We were taking to 5 high-end cellar doors and provided with a wide variety of tastings. Two of the tastings included cheese and a third included a scrumptious lunch.
