“Greg est un excellent guide et une très bonne personne. Il a su mettre tout le groupe a l’aise, a discuter avec chacun d’entre nous. Nous avions l’impression de faire partie de sa famille. Toute les places visités ont été exceptionnelles. La dégustation de fromage était excellente et la portion très généreuse. Chandon a été très agréable et belle découverte de leur mousseux rouge!!! À Yelling Station, la dégustation de 6 vins différents fut aussi très agréable dans un endroit magnifique! Et finalement, pour les mordus du sucrés, la Yara Chocaleterie a comblé notre dent sucré. Mais le clou de cette excursion a été de voir de très près des kangourous. Greg a un endroit secret pour que nous puissions les voir et nous avons été plus que comblé. Et l’amateur de golf en moi a été aussi comblé puisque l’endroit secret se tient sur un terrain de golf dessiné par Greg Norman. dommage ne ne pas y avoir joué! Je recommande fortement cette excursion avec Greg! Il a fait une différence!!!!”
“This small group tour packs in the highlights of the Yarra Valley. An easy hour ride narrated by our enjoyable guide Kurt. Cheese tasting at a lovely small family owned diary. Then off to beautiful Chandon for champagne and lunch you purchase on your own. If you’re lucky you will see Kangaroo in the vineyard! We then headed to Yering Station to wine tasting which we really enjoyed. Wait there’s more! How about a chocolate tasting and then the grand finale Kangaroos! You will not be disappointed.”
