A Hampers with Bite Day Out: Winery Visits and Taste Testing
All of us here at Hampers With Bite have an undeniable passion for gourmet food and wine. This passion takes front and center when working day to day to create the best gourmet hampers we can. Full of food and wine for you, our wonderful customers. Every now and then we come together as a team to try new things, discover new tastes, and put our heads together to try what is fresh and new in the gourmet food industry. Visiting our favourite wineries which also happen to be the absolute best the Victoria’s Yarra valley has to offer, is just one of the prime parts of the job and one that we love the most.
One of our most recent wine tasting days was to help us choose not only delicious bottles of wine to include in our gourmet hampers and gift baskets, to present to you the highest of quality standards and history that the Yarra Valley is steeped in, but also to upgrade our knowledge. This knowledge and day of education allows us to be as knowledgeable as possible when it comes to the beverages we provide.
Our first stop was the beautiful grapevines of Chandon, known for its delicious sparkling wine. Their Vintage Brut sparkling wine is well trusted by Australians all over the country for delivering its expensive taste, youthfulness and vibrancy.
Yering Station is a historic property full of character and a wealth of knowledge on what they love to do best, create great quality wines. As our second stop on a day full of tastings in the heart of the Yarra Valley our palates were cleansed and treated to the most gourmet and delicious of wines.
These two wineries that we work with so closely are trusted by us at Hampers With Bite to produce the highest quality wines. We trust in them to share their knowledge with us and in turn with you, our beloved customers. We taste to explore the new, rekindle the old, and introduce to you a range of wines that we are informed about and are full of fun, life, and flavour.

Our team regularly visits leading Yarra Valley wineries including Chandon, known for its Vintage Brut sparkling wine, and the historic Yering Station. We build close relationships with these producers so we can understand their wines and select bottles that meet our quality standards. The wines we choose go into our gourmet wine hampers and gift baskets.
Why does the Hampers With Bite team go wine tasting?Tasting days let our team try new releases, refresh our knowledge of established favourites, and decide which bottles deserve a place in our hampers. It also deepens our understanding of each wine so we can describe it accurately to customers. The goal is to offer a range that is well informed, varied and full of flavour.
What types of wine are included in your gourmet hampers?Our range spans sparkling, white and red wines sourced from trusted Australian producers, with the Yarra Valley a particular favourite. We pair these bottles with gourmet food such as chocolates, cheese accompaniments, nuts and biscuits. Browse our wine hampers to find a combination suited to the occasion and recipient.
Is the Yarra Valley a good wine region for gift hampers?The Yarra Valley is one of Victoria's most respected cool climate wine regions, celebrated for elegant sparkling wines, chardonnay and pinot noir. Its long history and consistent quality make it a reliable source for gift quality bottles. That reputation is part of why we feature Yarra Valley wines in many of our hampers.
Can I send a wine hamper as a gift across Australia?Yes, our wine and gourmet hampers can be sent with fast Australia-wide delivery using Standard or Express shipping. Every order includes a free personalised gift card so you can add your own message. Please note that an adult signature is required on delivery for any hamper containing alcohol.
What food pairs well with the wines in your hampers?Sparkling wine works beautifully with savoury nibbles, soft cheese and light bites, while reds suit richer fare such as cured meats, dark chocolate and aged cheese. Many of our hampers are already matched with complementary gourmet treats to take the guesswork out of pairing. If you prefer, you can choose a hamper built around a particular wine style.
Do you offer hampers without alcohol?Yes, alongside our wine hampers we offer a wide selection of alcohol-free gourmet hampers filled with sweet and savoury treats. These are ideal for recipients who do not drink or for workplaces with alcohol restrictions. Browse the full range to find an option that suits the occasion.
