“Great day in Murphys!!!”

Reviewed 10 May 2013 via mobile

Murphys Local Food and wine tour is a must. I first experienced the tour a few months after they began offering it.

“tour, learn, eat, socialize and do it all over again!”

Reviewed 17 September 2012

This is a tremendous activity for all ages that can walk a flat mile and eat at several locations. Plan on staying over so you can also shop. I had a great time. The tour is historical and for both men and women. Teenagers might also enjoy. Seniors a must do.

“Absolutely the BEST tour ever!”

Reviewed 7 May 2012

We enjoyed our tour on May 5 so much! Shelby gave us a detailed history of the town as well as background information from the stores, restaurants and wineries we visited. From touring the historic hotel where Ulysses S. Grant stayed, to tasting lamb meatballs to touring the local working winery, this tour far exceeded our expectations. We had our... More

“Murphy's Food & Wine Tour-GREAT!”

Reviewed 26 April 2012

We took the Murphy's tour on Saturday with Shelby. It was great fun. A good balance between food, wine and shopping. Shelby told us about the history of Murphy's but we also got to know who's who in the wine and restaurant business today. Good behind the scenes info. Loved the olive oil & balsamic vinegar store. The owners of... More
