Pep Events presents the Pep Alliance
Pep Events creates personalised and unique experiences in some of Victoria’s best dining rooms, eateries, bars and wine rooms. From progressive dinners and wine tastings to single-site events and winery tours. Pep Events have now created the Pep Alliance, bringing together chefs, restaurateurs and producers to collaborate and deliver unique food and drink experiences for the public.
The first series will consist of three events to be held in Melbourne through October and November.

With over 15 years in the food and wine industry Hilary founded Pep Events to create personalised and exclusive events that allow guests to meet and talk with leading chefs, producers, winemakers, sommeliers and industry leaders, while enjoying their venues, produce and food and drink.
