Questions regarding Yarra Valley Tours from Melbourne

[marshaatn]

Hello everyone,

 

We will be sailing on the Celebrity Mercury in 2008 and plan to do a wine tour to the Yarra Valley while in Melbourne. We have gotten a nice response from Epicurean Food and Wine Tours that I am considering hiring for the tour. Has anyone had any experience with this company?

 

Also, could anyone recommend a nice place for lunch while in the Yarra Valley?

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

This is a reasonable thread on the subject. Not sure if it includes a specific reference to your tour company but you'll find links to many operators

There are quite a few good places to eat in the Yarra Valley including Domain Chandon, Fergusons Winery and De Botoli Winery.

You can go up market and have lunch at a 5 star hotel which is Chateau Yering but I think the first three I mentioned are much nicer and you are amongst the vines at all of these places with great views.
