100% pure fun & joy - We had a lovely small group tour during winter and our guide Margaret was a delight! We enjoyed all the stops especially the gorgeous Scotchmans Hill. Lunch at Jack Rabbit was huge and hearty too. We highly recommend this tour if you are into wine, beer and cider!

Great day out - We had a great day out with Margaret. She was so friendly, fun to be around & a great source of information. The service at each of the locations was exemplary, particularly at Scotchmans Hill & Jack Rabbit Vineyard (where you will have great difficulty deciding which meal to choose for lunch…YUM). We were extra lucky to have a beautiful sunny day & very small group to share our experience. Thanks so much.

A great, unique experience of the Bellarine! - With brand new buses, the comfort level is second to none! We enjoy personalised tastings at lots of wineries and breweries. Lunch was fantastic and the views at Jack Rabbit winery are amazing. Matt our driver/guide was always engaging, funny and made us feel extremely comfortable. His commentary enhanced the tour and provided some great insight. I would certainly do this trip again!

Great day - Turned out there was only the3 of us but they ran the tour anyway. Great fun, great wine and an exceptional tour guide in Matt!! Only improvement would be to add a fruit producer, cheese or chocolate place in the mix

Lovely countryside - We had a small group, met some lovely people. Was not impressed with this tour as much as i thought i would be, have done the Mornington and Yarra tours a few years back which were fantastic. Pros, small group, lovely countryside, cons you don't get everything you were promised. For example, at the Queenscliff Brewhouse, we were supposed to sample some wines, craft beers and ciders. We only got to sample beers, with a very disinterest host. Lastly, we finished up at the flying brick Cider Co, we were promised cider and food and only got cider.
We had three tour guides on this trip, I understand that there are those that need to be trained, but 1 guide and 1 trainee would have been better.
