1.Laid back, Yarra Valley Wine Tour: Wine, Cider, Gin, Beer + Choc

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,552 reviews · from $93Our pick

Review of Melbourne’s relaxed Yarra Valley tour, with wine, cider, gin, beer, chocolate, lunch options, transport, and practical tips.

“This has been so much fun! Matt our tour guy was extremely friendly and helped everyone on the bus get to know each other which set the buzz for the day! It turns out that Matt is also an excellent Roo whisperer too! All the vineyards were brilliant and it’s hard to say a favourite but I must say I have never tasted cider like the apple cider at the first vineyard…. and I must give the Gin paddle a mention too ❤️ You won’t be disappointed with this tour, excellent fun and some great wines, gin and chocolate to taste.”

Tour Brisbane’s XXXX Brewery, watch beer production, taste three brews, and add a hearty burger lunch for a useful, fun afternoon.

“We have lived in Brisbane all our lives but had never done the XXXX tour. So glad we did it. However on the day we booked, the bottling department was not working. Apparently only works certain days, so make sure you check that when you book. Make sure that you book lunch at the finish it was delicious.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 251 reviews · from $82

Explore Sydney’s The Rocks through four historic pubs, local stories, four drinks, and practical tips on value, timing, food, and group size.

“This was the worst Viator tour I’ve been on. The tour was scheduled to begin at 630 pm, include 5 drinks and dinner. Our guide, Simon was fine. For 3 hours we toured the Rocks and enjoyed 4 small beers (not 5 as promised) and found out that there was no dinner. After questioning, it became apparent that we were expected to go to another venue and have a meal before returning to the start of the tour.
