Yarra Valley Foodie Tour, Devonshire Tea, Cheese and Chocolate
Hi I'm Mimi,
I live in the Yarra Valley and as a local know all the hidden gems and beautiful scenic routes that large commercial tours often avoid. Experience local artisan cheese platters, local bakeries, Devonshire tea at the historic Train Cafe, the delightful Healesville township and also the iconic Yarra Valley Chocolaterie. It will be a fun and delicious adventure in a small group at a pace you can relax and enjoy.
If you love local artisan food, chocolate, and scenic landscapes and rushing multiple wine tastings at a large commercial winery isn't your kind of thing, then this is the tour for you.
My groups are small at just 4 people and each experience you'll have is unique and will leaving a lasting impression. Great for couples and small groups.
Important Note: The remaining (Hours) will be allotted for the travel time between locations and from pick up until drop off.
