About Dancing Kangaroo Tours

Dancing Kangaroo Tours is a family-owned Melbourne operator that runs food and wine tasting days into the wine country around the city. Its scheduled tours leave most days from the Southbank meeting point with no more than 20 guests, so the group stays small and the host can chat with everyone. The full-day tours cover hosted tastings, a lunch with wine at a winery, and a stop at a chocolate maker on the drive home. If you would rather not share, a private day gives you your own vehicle, a host and driver, and an itinerary shaped around your group. Wineries, a distillery, a brewery and a long lunch can be mixed to suit, and the team collects you from your door. Popular private styles include a run of cellar doors for wine lovers, a mixed day for groups where not everyone wants wine, and a build-your-own half or full day. The tours suit birthdays, hens and bucks days, anniversaries and friends' days out, and the business also runs corporate days with a tax invoice for office groups, plus Christmas parties. Hens days include a private bus, door-to-door pick-up and venues that welcome hens groups. Tastings are for guests aged 18 and over, though children can come along on some days. Seats are rarely an issue, since the vehicles begin with a premium people mover, add minivans and minibuses, and finish with a coach for up to 55. Send an enquiry to arrange a private day or a quote for your group.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the scheduled day tours meet?

Scheduled day tours meet in Southbank, usually at 8:45am for the full days and 11:45am for the half day, and return to the city late in the afternoon.

What does a private winery day include?

A private day gives your group its own vehicle, a host and driver, and a plan built around your date. Stops and lunch can be adjusted until the itinerary is finalised.

How big are the groups on scheduled tours?

The operator keeps scheduled tours small, with 20 guests at most and usually fewer, hosted by a local who guides the day from the first stop to the last.

Can we organise a hens or bucks day?

Yes. Hens days use a private bus with door-to-door pick-up, and bucks groups can add a brewery and distillery to the day. Send an enquiry with your date and group size.

How large a group can the vehicles carry?

The fleet starts with a premium people mover for up to five passengers and goes up to a coach carrying up to 55, so couples and large work groups are both covered.
