The Funnest Wine Tour - Simply put, one of the funnest times I’ve had on a tour. Paul was the absolute best. Went with coworkers and made friends with some Tazmanians and a fellow American.

Experience the best of the Mornington Peninsula - This was our second time touring with Vinetrekkers and what an amazing day! Our guide, Cam, was fantastic, the vineyards were varied and interesting, and the Peninsula is a stunning alternative to the Yarra Valley. We loved all of the vineyards but Quea!y was a stand out for its rustic charm and hospitality. The small group size meant there was time for a few extra little stops that really personalised the day and made the experience that much more enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend Vinetrekkers more highly.

So good we returned for another tour! - I was back in Melbourne for work and had a spare day at the weekend. After doing the Yarra valley tour when I was last in town in 2023 and thoroughly enjoying it Paul went the extra mile to squeeze my colleague and I on to the Mornington Peninsula tour. I thought the Yarra valley tour was superb and can confirm that the Peninsula tour is equally excellent. We stopped at 5 wineries, all with their own unique character and set within the beautiful Mornington Peninsula countryside. Topped off with a superb lunch at the general store and a stop over the bay to catch the sunset. Paul is a great and generous host who will ensure you have an excellent and enjoyable day out.

A wonderful way to spend the day! - This tour was terrific! Paul was an excellent guide - very knowledgable about the region and wines, friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed seeing wineries and tasting wine not based in the Yarra Valley. The selection of wineries was superb - very high quality and interesting wines. Our drive around the peninsula took us into beautiful areas and views. Our lunch was excellent and at a location which I would not have found otherwise. It was a wonderful way to spend the day!

The Mornington Peninsula Wine and Food Tour was fantastic - The tour was very well organized and the timings given at each vineyard was good. Cam, our tour director and driver, was very patient and we got to taste lots of wine of course! Lunch was leisurely and we had delicious duck and steak (my husband and I) at the Merricks General Store. Strongly recommend this Vinetrekker tour to all wine lovers

If you love wine, you can’t go wrong with this tour! - What an amazing day! Five amazing wineries, a lovely relaxed lunch, and not rushed at all. Cam was fantastic! Giving us enough information when we needed it and getting us safely from winery to winery and back home. If you are partial to Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, this is definitely the tour for you!

Amazing Wine Tour - Couldn't have asked for a better day, the wineries we visited were gorgeous, Mornington Peninsula was such a beautiful area I will need to visit again. Our host for the day Cam was super friendly and knowledgeable about wine and the local area. Highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Two unforgettable wine tours... - While visiting Melbourne over five days in Mar '24, we signed up for both Vinetrekker's i) Mornington Peninsula and ii) Macedon Ranges tours. Both were most enjoyable and scenic, albeit fairly different in terms of geography and hence vista, and therefore completed each other, as they allowed us to better appreciate the nuances of the same varietals being grown and vinified in different regions (i.e. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir). On both days, Paul was masterful at sharing extensive history and knowledge, while managing the timeline (on aggregate, twelve wineries in 20 hours, including the two return - and very comfortable - rides to and from Melbourne) in an impressively pleasant and smooth manner. All wineries visited provided a warm welcome, with quality tastings, and beautifully serene environments, which all made for great memories. Once again, a big thank you to Vinetrekker and Paul.

Great day out! - A great day out. Cam, our driver, was great and knowledgeable about the area. The lunch venue was good and the food was great with plenty of wine tasting along the way. On the whole I would recommend the tour.
