Selina from Dancing Kangaroos was very helpful in providing a tailored tour to wineries we wanted to visit, all wine was quality and included lunch was delicious, would recommend this company! Lisa was also a great driver and guide for the day 🙂
A great day, lots of fun all the way. Great atmosphere, great wineries, chocolate factory and a brewery. Very comfortable transport and a great guide. Highly recommended!
Had the pleasure to do a girls wine tour with Dancing Kangaroo Tours. It was organized so well by Selina. Sean was also an amazing tour guide. We all appreciated his patience and his humour. We all had a wonderful time and would definitely use their services again!
Had a great trip with Sean! Loved the wineries we visited and how Sean encouraged his guests to get to know each other. 100% would recommend!
Our group had an amazing day out in the Yarra Valley tasting wines, beers and chocolate. Selina was extremely helpful when organising our day and ensuring we got the most out of our time. Our guide Sean was hilarious and full of knowledge about the region. Thanks for a great day - we will definitely be coming back for round two in the future!

Yarra Valley Wine Tours & Day Trips
Whether you’re staying a couple days in Melbourne or a bona fide coffee barista, you would have heard the buzz about a sensational place call the Yarra Valley. This region is today Melbourne’s most favourite getaway destination and it’s located only an hour from the CBD. The Yarra Valley is renowned for producing delicate cool-climate style wines such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sparkling. Furthermore, its rich volcanic and alluvial soils makes it ideal for farming of quality fruits, vegetables and livestock. However, what really makes Yarra Valley absolutely mesmerising is its natural beauty – just imagine an amphitheatre of mountains overseeing a wave of rolling hills that etches towards flat plains underneath a big blue sky. So, if you’re looking for things to do in Melbourne, check out our top-rated tours departing to the Yarra Valley from the CBD.
