Hi - rather than post a new thread I thought I'd ask here.

Does anyone know any good and reliable "designated driver" type service that might be happy to take me and the girlfriend in a rental car (rented by us) to the Yarra Valley and take us around wine-tasting?

Alternatively, has anyone come across a good wine tasting tour that starts in the Yarra Valley and ends there as well (i.e. we are considering staying in the Yarra Valley for a few days but have read that public transport there is really patchy).

Suggestions very much appreciated!

I would rent a car and wing it... haven't had problems up there, don't do anything silly of course... and go super slow if you're tipsy and between one estate to the next...

Alternatively, go with a tour bus that uses a small van. Hardly comfortable, however

Never trust public transport there.

The police highway patrol are always around the yarra valley so I would be very careful
