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.

Feels like a boutique private tour

5.00Felt like a private tour as the group was cozy with four people and our beautiful guide Mimi. She is so lovely, lives in the local area and very knowledgeable about food and the area! Enjoyed the scenery, conversations as well as the many different food experiences we got to try. The Chocolaterie was a highlight with a tasting session as well as a number of stops at some amazing spots. Lot of different food experiences that I enjoyed and plenty of time to enjoy them and the surroundings.
A delicious & thoughtful tour!

5.00The tour was a great experience. I really enjoyed the scenery and the many food spots we stopped at. Healesville is a beautiful town and we took some of the back roads that Mimi, our guide knows well. It gives much better scenery than the main highways and a few special look out spots as well. The cheeseboard in Healesville was very generous and delicious. Lots of different cheeses and local condiments. Loved the train café, tea and scones surrounded by local wildlife and trees was just beautiful. The Bahn Mi at the end was a really nice surprise, plenty of great food and experiences! You’ve given the tour a lot of thought Mimi, thank you!
Food not wine!

5.00We heard Yarra Valley is a must-see place when coming to Melbourne but weren’t sure what sort of tour we should book. We chose this one as it is more about food and not just wine tour like most of the other ones. We really enjoyed it as the food places were all beautiful and unique. The tour guide Mimi was very warm and a local who knows the area very well. We felt very well taken care of the entire time and the places we visited, I will remember, such great experiences. I really liked the chocolate tasting, cheeseboard in Healesville as well as the train café. Wow, that was really such a surprise to have tea inside a restored train carriage. Very cozy and something we will never forget.
A special treat for foodies!

5.00Fantastic foodie tour! Love this tour as it gave us a great experience of the beautiful Yarra Valley and many different food experiences. Many of the tours tend to be wine tours and my wife and I wanted more of a food experience and this tour gave us just that! The cheese platter in Healesville, the tea & scones at the carriage café as well as the chocolate tasting were all amazing highlights. The pace was very relaxed and we could really take the time to enjoy each place, learn more and take many photos along the way. Highly recommended this tour if you want something more than just a wine tour.
Great sights, drive and food!

5.00Great way to experience the Yarra Valley, taking in Yarra Glen, Seville and Healesville. The drive was beautiful taking us off the main highway through some great spots. I really loved Healesville, such a beautiful town, great boutique stores and we stopped there for an amazing cheese platter. Another highlight was the train cafe, having tea and scones there was a special experience. As it's a small group it felt much more personal and not rushed.
