Our Food and Wine
When you travel with Epicurious you are guaranteed to experience fabulous food and wine. It is our passion and we see no need to compromise on this essential element of travel even in the remotest of locations. On our camping expeditions in Central Australia and our luxury accommodated walks in Victoria we use the highest quality ingredients including organic and free range produce from local producers wherever possible. Jennifer prepares all her stocks, sauces, biscuits and delicious cakes by hand and they are carefully transported under refrigeration. On the Larapinta Trail our food is cooked predominantly on an open fire, which not only creates a wonderful atmosphere in our “outdoor kitchen”, but also results in sensational flavours, and good fun.
We offer clients a selection of wines each evening with dinner utilising where possible regional varieties. Some of the producers we use include: Wood Park Wines, Shadowfax, Scorpo, Punt Road, Frankland Estate and Wallace.

We personally research and sample at every restaurant, trattoria, wine bar and food store in our itineraries. We keep abreast of the changes in the areas we travel in to guarantee that we offer you the best regional food and wine available. Nothing is left to chance. Wherever possible we provide sensational picnic lunches feasting on regional produce in the great outdoors.
