Delicious, lovely gourmet day out. Fun clues
We had a fantastic day, exploring the Yarra valley. Such an exciting way to spend an afternoon. The food was delicious and plentiful and it was great to support some excellent local businesses. It was very well organised and the host even helped me with tech support early on a Sunday morning as I had given an incorrect mobile number. Would happily give 6 stars if available.
it was a great way to get out of the office for the day as an end of year party to wrap 2024. Definitely will be recommending this to all small business owners to do with their team as well as friends and family who want to explore the Yarra Valley!!
A wonderful day in the beautiful Yarra valley with my husband. The journey was just a good as the destination. So much good food and wine. Yes we stopped and bought wine
So much fun! Every stop gave us great little treats for one final picnic with so much food.
