Harvest Epicure is a story of passion and purpose. The earliest iterations of Harvest Epicure began in Australia with the birth of a brand called Fuel Your Passion, which existed to share research-based nutrition tips and plant-rich superfood ideas to encourage healthy and active lives. Growing up in Yarra Valley, Victoria, I was lucky to work in and be surrounded by world-class Australian winemaking and hospitality. While undertaking my degree in Nutrition, I was fortunate to share my love and curiosity for culture with epicureans from across the world working at Domaine Chandon.

Taylor grew up worlds away, on the sandy central coast of Florida, USA. When Taylor and I met, it was a pure blessing and a turning point for both of us. Taylor had been lucky to call Australia home for almost two and a half years before we met, living and breathing the world of fine wine. We shared an equal excitement for cooking, gathering, entertaining and educating that we knew had to be shared with the world. Ignited with passion, we realized our purpose was to help people appreciate the enjoyment of healthy food and artisan wine. Wanting to sow new seeds together, Tay and I decided to pack our swags and to set foot to California wine country. 

Harvest Epicure is centred on a Mediterranean-lifestyle approach to good health. At the heart of a Mediterranean diet is the sharing and enjoyment of wine and community connection as core pillars of a happy and healthy life.

Taylor’s 5 years in wine sales and marketing certifies her as an authority on wine education. After establishing roots in Napa, Tim and I dreamt of serving a slice of Australia to new friends. What started out as an idea to feed and fuel busy winery workers during wine country harvest (hence Harvest Epicure) manifested into feeding and inspiring busy people throughout the community. Our clients are professionals and creatives who love long lunches, who want to reconnect and learn about food from scratch. Our seasonal menu ideas are written my nature and can only be described as produce-driven, Australia-meets-California fare. Let us into your daily grind and we’ll bring the recipes for functional, Good-For-You foods to fuel your lifestyle.  

Harvest Epicure promises to never serve a “diet” or detox, but instead a back-pocket nutritionist in disguise. At the heart, our overall vision is a lifestyle and food experience brand that fosters a conversation and community around healthy eating and balanced living. We serve to inspire you to reimagine your weekly repertoire with healthy, multicultural meal ideas. As avid believers in wine as a cornerstone for balanced living, each recipe will incorporate one of our worldly Wine Suggestions.

Thanks for visiting, can’t wait to see your creations!

Ciao for now!
