OUR FAVOURITE YARRA VALLEY WINE TOUR EXPERIENCES

Enjoying magnums of the No.1 ranked Rose in the Yarra Valley at Medhurst has to be one of the best ways to enjoy a day out in the YV.
A visit to Four Pillars Gin Distillery in Healesville is always a good time.

Your Guide – Jono Ingram

Good Times Tours is my passion project and since 2015 I’ve had the pleasure of running over 100 winery tours to the Yarra Valley, Heathcote, Macedon Ranges, Mornington Peninsula, Bellarine Peninsula, King Valley, Rutherglen and the Beechworth wine region. I’m an owner/operated business, so when you get in touch it will be me putting together your itinerary and driving you on the day. I’ve personally visited over 120 cellar doors throughout Victoria and a lot of micro-breweries, gin distillieries too, so you can have every confidence that I know where Victoria’s best cellar door experiences are and can accommodate a wine tour to suit your groups needs.
