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.

Jono went above and beyond to ensure that my family enjoyed Mornington and Great Ocean Road. He has been very accommodating to our family needs, and the little children also absolutely adored him! I would 200% recommend booking the private tour with Jono to anyone.

Jono (Good Time Tours) is a must if you are looking for something a bit bespoke and not your average trip out of Melbourne.  Nothing was too difficult for Jono. From the suggested itinerary, the various pickups and then throughout the day, we had a knowledgeable local who shared his experiences with our group.  Thanks Jono.... legend!

Organised this wine tour to celebrate a couple of birthdays from work. Jono was very approachable, accommodating and flexible in terms of letting us choose our lunch destination. Each cellar door was very welcoming as Jono knew some of the winemakers and introduced us to them. Jono even went as far as suggesting this gorgeous spot for a great autumn pic. Overall everyone absolutely enjoyed their time and we will most likely book Jono again.

We had an excellent trip to the Yarra Valley with Jono on Anzac Day. Nothing was too much trouble, from the initial enquiry the week before and arranging a tour that catered for the reduced mobility of two of our group. He was very flexible on the day as well. I would highly recommend touring with Jono.

Jono took our Japanese group to Heathcoat wineries. Excellent private tour. Our guide Jono was incredibly knowledgable, cheerful and gave us a fantastic day! We learnt about history, culture, features and much more. He was well traveled and have flexibility, high standards, and we were very happy with Jono's tour - he had great memory and experience in Japan and all over the world, we also enjoyed chatting with him!

Jono was fantastic. From prior to the booking right through to the day, Jono was accommodating and a great communicator. Jono looked after us superbly throughout our wine tour in the Macedon Ranges. If you’re looking for a reliable and quality tour, hit up Jono!

We loved our 1 day winery tour in Heathcote. Jono had picked some great independent venues where you got to meet the owners and everything was well organised from start to finish. The bus was comfy and clean, price was very good value and Jono was a great host. Would definitely recommend!
