Amazing day with friends, with a fantastic personalised service. We had the opportunity to spend one-on-one time with Macedon winery owners, and try lots of delicious wines. Mike was a very informative and attentive tour guide, and the selection of wineries he took us to far exceeded our expectations.

Whilst visiting Melbourne, we decided we wanted to investigate the Victorian wine scene by visiting a few cellar doors. Wanting make the most of the tasting opportunities, and not yet being able to justify hiring a driver for the day, we booked ourselves onto a tour with Mike's Wine Tours, hoping to get the personal service promised by the reviews...

Ended up hitting up Mike's tour with a set of colleagues as a replacement for the Cinco de Mayo celebrating I was missing stateside. Not knowing what to expect going in, I was more than pleasantly surprised by both the high quality of the vinyards chosen, the side amenities, a tremendous gourmet lunch & snack, the small group atmosphere (never...

It's very rewarding for me that you have expressed how much you enjoyed the High Quality wines on offer to taste at some of the best wineries within the Macedon Ranges, Australia's premier wine growing region which is only a one hour drive from Melbourne. Small group tours such as mine allow you ample time to savour each wine that... More

My fiancee and I went on Mikes Macedon Ranges wine tour and it was the greatest wine tour we have ever been on. Mikes enthusiasm toward wine, the beautiful countryside, and life itself is outstanding. He made the day both fun and educational. Mikes choice of wineries gave us a fantastic broad understanding of what the Macedon Ranges have to... More

I thoroughly enjoyed Mike's wine tour. From being met at our hotel by Mike (always nice to be shown around by the namesake) followed by a nice mix of wineries and an excellent stop for lunch, we had a great day (oh and the air conditioned bus was a big positive as it was 38oC!). Mike was very friendly and... More
