Winery Tour Transport from Melbourne
Silver Taxi Melbourne offers dedicated winery tour transport to Victoria's best wine regions, including the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, and Macedon Ranges. Instead of arranging designated drivers or booking group tour buses, our drivers take you from your door to the vineyard and back safely, at a fixed price agreed before you leave.
Our Clayton base puts us closer to Mornington Peninsula wineries than most Melbourne CBD operators. If you are picking up from Frankston, Cheltenham, or Dandenong, the drive to Main Ridge or Merricks is under an hour. For Yarra Valley tours, the drive from Clayton to Healesville is around 50 minutes.
Our winery tour service is fully flexible. Choose your wineries, set your own schedule, and let us handle the driving. We cater for couples, groups of friends, corporate team days, and special celebrations.

Perfect For
Your Driver Waits While You Taste
When you book a winery tour with Silver Taxi Melbourne, your driver acts as your designated driver for the entire day. You choose which wineries to visit and how long to spend at each one. At every stop, the driver parks and waits while your group enjoys the cellar door at their own pace.
There is no time pressure and no need for anyone in the group to stay sober. Everyone can taste freely at every winery on your list. When you are ready to move on, the driver is waiting outside. No calling for a ride when the group has had a few glasses. No navigating unfamiliar country roads after dark. Everyone gets home safely in the same vehicle that picked them up that morning.
Winery tours are one of our most popular repeat bookings. Groups that come to us for a birthday or hen's day often call back for the next occasion, because having a reliable driver waiting at each stop takes all the stress out of the day.
Choose Your Vehicle
We match the right vehicle to your group from intimate couples trips to large group vans. All at fixed, agreed prices.
