10/10 recommend - Tour-guide Mel is amazing
Fantastic tour 10/10. We came over from New Zealand for a birthday trip and absolute loved it. Our tour guide Mel was lovely, knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We also made very good friends with the others on the tour and that helped make it so much fun. All the places we stopped had amazing wines to taste and the food was also great. Would recommend to anyone.

Wonderful tour
Fantastic day trip from Melbourne with a great mix of wineries, food, chocolate, and scenery throughout the Yarra Valley. The tour never felt rushed and it gave us a really enjoyable way to experience another side of Victoria outside the city. Great balance between tastings, sightseeing, and relaxing throughout the day. Bernie was a top notch tour guide as well!

Decadent Tasting Tour! (And sightseeing)
We came to Melbourne from the U.S. for the Australian Open tennis tournament and wanted to do a tour before leaving. This one was SO much fun! Bernie was an outstanding and entertaining tour leader. We did fruit, chocolate and wine tasting (3 vineyards) and because of timing, mostly everyone had been or was going to tennis so we all bonded over that (plus the wine). It was an international group, which added to the fun since we love talking to people from everywhere. We highly recommend it!

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Yarra Valley Food Wine and Gin Tour Departing From Melbourne: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Yarra Valley Food Wine and Gin Tour Departing From Melbourne cost?
+
Prices start at $84 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Yarra Valley Food Wine and Gin Tour Departing From Melbourne take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.
Is Yarra Valley Food Wine and Gin Tour Departing From Melbourne worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 361 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Yarra Valley Food Wine and Gin Tour Departing From Melbourne?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Yarra Valley Food Wine and Gin Tour Departing From Melbourne suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Yarra Valley Food Wine and Gin Tour Departing From Melbourne?
+
Around 126 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Yarra Valley Food Wine and Gin Tour Departing From Melbourne start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Melbourne?
+
On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Melbourne?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Melbourne?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
