Across the road from Hotel Windsor
Congratulations!
You’ve just found the wine tour for you! Looking for a day amongst the vineyards? We’ve got the perfect tour waiting for you! We offer flexible, casual, social, laid-back (or fancy, if that’s your vibe) wine tours across all of Melbourne’s wine regions — predominantly the Yarra Valley — where you can sip wine, taste gin, sample cheese, or devour chocolate. We also offer the option to tailor the itinerary to suit your taste buds!
With over 3,000+ five-star reviews, 200K happy customers, and more than 10 years of experience, we’ve perfected the art of intimate, fun and relatable tours. We’re the opposite of your typical ‘tourist trap’ operator.
Whether you’re a solo traveller, out with your mates, on a work function, celebrating a 21st or an 80th, having a hens party, a boys’ or girls’ day out — or just looking to explore some wine country — we promise no other operator will give you a better experience.
Since 2015, we’ve offered both Join-in Public Group Tours in the Yarra Valley and Private Tours of the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Bellarine Peninsula, Macedon Ranges and beyond. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do — we’ll make the day exactly what you want it to be.
OK, so how does it work?
It normally depends on how many people you have…
Maybe you have a group of friends or colleagues and you want to have a private, personalised day out? Then you should check out our….

Pick Up Location
The easiest and most foolproof way is to put “HOTEL WINDSOR, EAST MELBOURNE” into Google Maps. Once you arrive, simply walk across the road to the same side as the statue, where there’s a bus bay for our buses to park. This spot is technically 74 Spring Street, East Melbourne, right near Parliament Train Station.
Below is a photo of the location.
There’s a café here called Café Excello, where you can grab a coffee beforehand if you are early.
How to get there
Trams: Any tram heading east from the CBD/Downtown will take you to Spring Street. Literally any tram — no matter the number — and best of all, trams are free within the CBD for everyone.
Train: Take any train on the city loop and get off at Parliament Station. This is exactly where our pick-up spot is.
Uber/Taxi: We recommend entering 74 Spring Street, East Melbourne, Hotel Windsor, or Parliament Station as your destination — they’re all essentially the same location.
Important: Do NOT put “74 Spring Street East, Port Melbourne” into your maps — this is a common mistake!
Group Sizes
We have a 24-seat bus but usually don’t fill it up to keep the group small and intimate. Most days, there are around 10 to 20 people.
When it’s busy, we run more than one bus and will text you to choose which one you want. You can choose a bigger bus with about 20 people or a smaller van with 11 to 13. Generally though, just expect to be on the mini-bus with about 20 people.
Transport
We almost always use our 2017 Mitsubishi Rosa, which has 24 passenger seats. Sometimes we use our 2018 Toyota Coaster with 21 seats.
For smaller groups, we use Toyota Commuters (from 2005 to 2020) that seat 11 to 13 people.
All our vehicles are well air-conditioned, heated, fully accredited, and carefully maintained.
Additional Pick Up Spots Near Yarra Valley
On a case-by-case basis, we might be able to pick you up from a spot that doesn’t require a detour.
If you’re in the eastern suburbs, we ask you to meet us at 101 Maroondah Highway, Croydon — also known as the Croydon McDonald’s — at 9:20am. You can park there all day if you’re driving.
If you’re in Lilydale or the Yarra Valley, meet us at 161 Main Street, Lilydale, also called BWS Lilydale, at 9:35am.
Please note: We do not pick up from hotels or Airbnbs.
If you’re staying at an Airbnb or hotel in the Yarra Valley, you’ll need to meet us at the first winery, Yering Farm Wines, at 10am. We can discuss your return trip, but usually, we’ll leave you at Payten and Jones Winery in Healesville, where you can either walk back or grab a taxi to your accommodation. Taxis and Ubers can be hard to get, so we’ll drop you somewhere reliable to catch one.
If you’re planning to take a taxi in the Yarra Valley, we strongly recommend pre-booking either via Uber or 13CABS the day before. It’s very unlikely you’ll get one at short notice in the morning.
We don’t offer door-to-door pick-ups.
Please get in touch if you want to discuss a potential pick-up spot.

Not much of a wine drinker but had a lovely day on the tour. Some of the wines were quite to my liking. Our guide, Drew, was relaxed and easy, like an old friend; he made you very comfortable…even before the wine. The whole experience was delightful, warm and pleasant.

First Contact: Your Call,Your Tour: Planning Your Ideal Experience
After we receive your online contact form or your booking form or you’ve called on 0423 237 833, our friendly staff will discuss your requirements in detail. We will send options, prices and itinerary options either via email or text.
Whether it’s a wine tour, day trip, brewery tour, hens or bucks party, we’re here to tailor-make the perfect tour for you. Next, we’ll email or text a little more to just get it absolutely perfect for your day out. Some groups can be happy with the very first itinerary we talk about and this process is done in one email. Others want to explore all sorts of options. Either way, we are here for it!
After we get a better understanding of your interests, group size and personal style, we’re more than happy to provide some recommendations. We’ll then confirm where you want to go, what you’re really looking for (Unless ‘half day tour is important?)
Make your booking to get the plan locked in
Once we’ve laid out the perfect plan for your day, we’ll send you the details for your approval. After making any necessary changes, we’ll get you to make a booking by paying a deposit on our website by clicking ‘Book Here’, then ‘Private Tours’. This is a non-refundable $100 deposit.
Once this booking is made and the plan is set, we then immediately book all of the venues discussed, allocate a vehicle, a driver and make sure everything is locked in. Sometimes people go straight to this step without contacting us, so we will make sure we get a plan going ASAP after you’ve booked.
Rest assured, our tours are flexible and we’re always happy to tweak things to make sure your day is exactly as you imagined.
Rounding up the Troops
From the moment we have received your $100 deposit, things are locked in. We have got everything ready on our end. It’s now your job to start getting everyone organised and find out what your final numbers will be. We also recommend checking for any dietary requirements, finalising the pickup and drop off address, and any other minor details that we may need to know.
If everyone is paying for themselves, then we recommend collecting payments from them ASAP so we can get a good idea on numbers early. It’s in everyone’s best interest for this number to be communicated honestly, realistically, and frequently. The number of people dictates the price, the vehicle we use and the driver who can drive that vehicle.
The Week Before and the Final Email
7 days before the tour, we will email you to give you all the very final details so you won’t have any more questions. This final email will include the driver’s details, the itinerary, rules expected behaviours, vehicle details and payment instructions. Payment will be via bank transfer/invoice or a payment link can be sent.
We do not require full payment until 2 days before the tour. Once payment is made and we are all good to go, there’s nothing left to do, except drink!
The Day of Your Tour
On the day of your tour, our professional and friendly staff will be there to pick you up and drop you off wherever we have discussed and planned. Our guides provide recommendations, plenty of banter and overall, make sure everything runs smoothly. We have a bit of a common sense approach to the day.
If we feel something isn’t working or that people need more of this or less of this, we are always happy to add a few bottles on the table, or a cheese platter or whatever we think is reasonable. We want to make sure this is the best day ever so you’ll join us once again!

The Tee Pee Tours Experience: More Than Just a Wine Tour
Our story began roughly TEN years ago when Andrew and Adam embarked on a journey to redefine the typical bus tour. They envisioned an experience that was social, fun, and far from the typical experience. Two 22 year olds who had no idea what they were doing got a van, got some camping equipment, surfboards, bought a native American Teepee and put it on a property near a beach on the Great Ocean Road and tried to create a fun, laid back surfing and camping tour. That’s how Tee Pee Tours was conceived.
From that moment, we hit the ground running and haven’t stopped since. It was a grassroots, forever humble and small kind of tour that kept getting better and better. At a certain point, we wanted to apply the same method to another region of Melbourne, and about 5 years ago (just before COVID), we pivoted to Yarra Valley Wine Tours. Today, we’re proud to say That Tee Pee Tours has become one of the most unique and highly rated providers of wine tours in Victoria….And even the country!
Our Yarra Valley Wine tours have received 1000’s of reviews, multiple awards including Tripadvisers ‘BEST OF THE BEST’ of all of Australia, making us in the top 1% of all Tour Operators.
What makes us stand out from the crowd? It’s our commitment to creating an atmosphere that’s relaxed, flexible, sociable, and inclusive. From relaxing picnics to scenic bus rides, drinks, food and fun for friends, colleagues or the entire family, we’ve got options for everyone.
