By providing a first class service with a tour to suit the true connoisseur, "foodie" or wine enthusiast, each guest experiences a truly memorable day. Your Yarra Valley Food and Wine Journey includes hotel transfers, allowing you to sit back, relax in the comfort of your custom vehicle and just enjoy the stunning scenery. A maximum of 10 guests is booked per day but it's likely there will be less! We love small group touring and we can provide ourselves and receive from the venues we visit, a service that is only unique to small group touring. Our vehicles have free Wifi for your convenience and complimentary bottled water throughout the day. There are no hidden costs - we do not ask guests to pay additional tasting fees or for their afternoon tea. Everything is included!

“Team day”

Reviewed 2 May 2013

Our team had earned a well deserved "day out". Epicurean tours fit the bill nicely. Our host Fiona was professional, informative, fun and very accommodating. The Yarra Valley is absolutely stunning and doing this trip in the autumn months gave the country side extra beauty with the changing colours of the vine leaves. The wineries that were on this tour... More

“Yarra Valley experience not to be missed.”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

I can't imagine a better, more full day if you are in Melbourne and are looking for a different experience than the usual city sights. Such a comprehensive day, with wine, food, coffee, cider, beer, cheeses, information and beautiful photo opportunities throughout the journey. Thank you for a wonderful Yarra Valley adventure!

“Amazing Day with Epicurean Food & Wine Tours”

Reviewed 30 January 2013

My parents and I were in Melbourne via Celebrity Cruises and we wanted to see the wine country but the tours the cruise offered weren't quite our speed (my mom in particular is a true wine connoisseur). I found Epicurean on Trip Advisor and agree with all of the rave reviews. They answered my e-mails quickly and even decided to... More
