We did the Mornington Peninsula food & wine daytour and had a great time. The pickup in Melbourne was easy, there were lots of tours leaving from the same location but our name was called and we were shown to the bus. Steve our bus driver and tour director was fantastic, we received a commentary as we left Melbourne and... More

Thanks for taking the time to review your recent tour to the Mornington Peninsula and delighted it was such a success. It's a wonderful region and provides a terrific alternative to the more popular Yarra Valley. Being a little less commercialised ensures a relaxed pace. We're very lucky to have Stephen on board and he brings a high degree of... More

This tour was recommended by the guide from 'Melbourne by Foot', Dave. I booked the tour last minute. We were only three people on the tour, so plenty of time and space for everybody. It was a full day out, pick up at 9.30 at the hotel, and return by about 6pm. We went to five wineries; Coldstream Hills, Warramate,... More

We recently spent a lovely day visiting the Yarra Valley with Vinetrekker Private Tours, hosted by our driver Stephen. Stephen was very knowledgeable about all the wineries we visited and his knowledge of the history of the area was outstanding. The lunch provided at Yering Station was outstanding and we enjoyed it very much. This tour was conducted very professionally... More

Just spent Sunday with Paul from Vinetrekkers visiting the Mornington Peninsula. Can most definitely recommend this day tour. The wineries we visited were smaller, family run places offering some spectacular wines from the region. My friend and I did the Yarra Valley tour a couple of years ago and I would say the Mornington Peninsula was right up there. The... More

Thanks Doreen for reviewing your tour to the Mornington Peninsula so positively and I'm thrilled to hear it was everything you expected it to be. As a region, it doesn't enjoy the same profile as the Yarra Valley and people are often surprised at the quality of food and wine they encounter. Our tour highlights the diversity of product and...

We were picked up on time at our city accommodation along with other visitors on the tour (a nice samll group) and enjoyed good conversation during the drive to the peninsula. We visited Tanglewood Estate and Willow Creek wines, before enjoying a... More

My partner and I booked on the Mornington Peninsula tour as a referral from a friend. The tour was fantastic and definitely met expectations. Stephen was an excellent, very knowledgeable and personable guide for the day. We visited 4 wineries and at least 7-10 tastings in each place. There was no ridiculous pressure to buy wine, so everyone could buy... More

I took Vinetrekker's combination Yarra Valley "wildlife sancturary / wine tasting" tour. My morning was spent with a guide in the wildlife sanctuary. We joined the wine-tour around lunch time and spent the afternoon as part of that tour. Both halves the trip were perfectly managed, thoroughly informative, and enjoyable.
