The Narrative
Rick's Wine Tours departs from Federation Square daily at around 9am and returns by 5pm, running one of the more inclusive public Yarra Valley tours in Melbourne — every full-paying adult receives one bottle of wine to take home. That's on top of guided fruit tastings, a guided chocolate tasting with 12 handcrafted chocolates, and comfortable return transport from the CBD.
Public tours maintain a maximum of 10 people per bus, keeping the group intimate despite the accessible price point. For guests who want an even more private experience, VIP private tours for 2 guests are available from $549 per person. Corporate groups and larger parties are well catered for: Rick's operates coaches for up to 55 people, with Friday departures accommodating up to 50 guests on a single booking.
Lunch is available at various Yarra Valley venues from $50–$55 per person and is not included in the base tour price — one of the few transparent cost items to factor in. The customisable nature of the tours is a genuine strength: Rick's Wine Tours adapts itineraries around group preferences, whether that's a focus on boutique Pinot producers, sparkling wine estates like Domaine Chandon, or a mix of wineries and non-wine stops across the valley.
Based on Flinders Street in Melbourne, Rick's Wine Tours also runs Adelaide wine tours, making them a good choice for guests travelling between cities who want consistent quality from one operator.
