Horses, Wind & Beer Tour

Derek 13 November 2017

A fantastic day overall starting with great commentary by our tour guide Anthony. The living legends of past champion race horses were a highlight, the winery with lunch at a beautiful location was everything we had hoped for and then beer tasting at Holgate breweries topped it off.

Great tour to catch up with Ex Champions

Tony 13 March 2017

Tamara was a great guide and to get up and personal with these legends of the turf was amazing. Especially Apache Cat with his prominent white face

Had a great day

We had a great tour leader and everyone else we dealt with were friendly and did their jobs well. A very enjoyable day, even got dropped off at our hotel door.

Great for lovers of horse racing history

Anne 16 March 2016

Had a great day, ably led by our lovely guide Sam. It was such an awesome experience be able to get up close and personal with some of our most famous Melbourne Cup winners. Devonshire tea was delicious, as was lunch at the winery (and the wine tasting). Although I'm not a beer drinker I enjoyed the commentary at the brewery. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Good day out

Sharon 14 December 2015

Good day, we all enjoyed the trip. Central pick up point. Simon our driver was very nice, informative, polite, friendly. The tour of the horses was interesting, Abbie was lovely and ensured we got to pat the horses and take photos. We enjoyed the group lunch and beer tasting. A well planned day.

Great day out

We were given this experience by our children for my birthday. We rang the tour company and arranged to be picked up from our hotel, this was done with ease. Our tour guide duly arrived on time and we were whisked off to the Living Legends at Woodlands where we met some of the great champions of the turf! Morning tea and freshly cooked scones were provided. Next we went to Gisborne Peak Winery for wine tastings followed by woodfired pizza ! Delicious! Then off to Woodend to Keatings Hotel and brewery for beer tasting and a commentary on each of 8 styles of beer. We finished with a drive back to Melbourne with football and races on the radio. Our informative tour guide Anthony was excellent and happily dropped us at our hotel. A great day was had by all and we would recommend it to any one with an interest in racing or wine or beer!

Great day

A perfect adventure enhanced by sunny weather. Was never felt rushed, tour guide informed and venues visited made us feel welcome. All 3 places offered something very different. I did not think I would enjoy race horse history but it was really interesting.
