“A great day out - highly recommend”

Reviewed February 8, 2012 NEW

Had a great day on this tour. There were plenty of opportunities for wine tasting. The cheese tasting in the trophy room at De Bortoli didn't quite go as planned but that was not the fault of the tour operator Fiona. It seems that De Bortoli had a number of staff absent that day. Fiona was a very informative guide.... More

“Perfect day in Yarra Valley!”

Reviewed February 6, 2012 NEW

After the three of us were picked up promptly at our short-term rental in Melbourne, we made one stop to pick up a couple nearby and were a small group of five for our day long tour. Fiona was delightful and knowledgeable and picked great vineyards for tasting. Loved starting the morning with wine and cheese (what's better than sparkling... More

“Excellent food and winery sites.”

Reviewed February 5, 2012 NEW

Overall my parents and I were very satisfied with the service that Epicurean tour has provided with us with. The group was relatively small hence it made the whole tour environment very family oriented. Also, the lunch venue was nothing but 'excellent' quality and view wise. I would certainly recommend this tour to any of my friends or relatives who... More

“Great tour of Yarra Valley Wineries”

Reviewed January 24, 2012

Wonderful trip to the beautiful wine country. Tour guide, Fiona, was pleasant, knowledgable and professional. This tour is intimate and personal. Never felt like we were in a crowd or rushed. Fiona was able to highlight different areas of interest at each winery and gave us the time and space to discover on our own. More

Reviewed January 2, 2012

Had a fantastic day trip to the Yarra Valley with Fiona. She was informative without being over the top and her personality and relationship she had with the wine operators helped us get great service at each of the wineries. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a winery day trip when in Melbourne. It was the... More

“What a great food and wine experience”

Reviewed December 5, 2011

Had a fantastic day out in the Yarra Valley with Epicurean and Fiona. Every winery we visited were very different with fantastic wines and great food. The cheese and wine matching with Richard at DeBortelli and amazing lunch at Chandon were definitely highlights. We had a great group of 6 with a couple of serious wine buffs and all raved... More

Thank you for your review. As mentioned in our email and on the phone, the promotion back in October 2010 was very successful (at $69 per person!) The vouchers were valid for 12 months and those wanting to secure dates closer to the end of the promotion (especially weekends) booked in early and so there were limited seats available during...
