Overview

Wine tours are nothing without the perfect surroundings in which to indulge. Nestled inland from Newcastle, the Hunter Valley is a mere 2 hour drive from Sydney and is home to wineries, luscious farmland, art galleries, golf courses and native wildlife.

On this small-group tour with no more than 16 participants you’ll taste Australian made wines at three boutique wineries, paired with a food menu to compliment every drop. Before leaving Sydney, you’ll visit the Sydney Fish Markets to purchase fresh seafood to be used in the menu and stop in the Hawkesbury region for breakfast.

Your guide is not just any old guide – he is your cook as well, and is a qualified chef! We do this to make sure that the food you get to eat matches your tour and the wines you are tasting to perfection.

Our mission is to make your day not just an outing, but an expedition, exploring vineyards, and experiencing first class cooking in idyllic surrounds.

It wasn’t just a wine tour. We went to the fish market where Jimmy picked up some seafood and a bug from the Lobster family. He cooked us breakfast tapas style in a lovely and gave us a hands on lesson in sushi making. We later enjoyed our own creations . At the three wineries he also prepared food for pairing with our wine tastings. This made the tour sensational and unique. I highly recommended this tour, you will not be disappointed!

This tour was an amazing experience. Jimmy was great and his food was delicious. He picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel. Very convenient! Hunter Valley is a little over two hours but Jimmy broke up the stops. We went to the fish market first to purchase some items that he was going to prepare for us, second stop was for him to cook breakfast for us and then on to the wineries.

This is definitely an unforgettable day trip I have joined so far. Jimmy has been an excellent guide for the tour, filling us with information and content about the places we visited, the food we had and about the Hunter Valley region. It is a tour with both food and wine...awesomely yummy. I will definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys food and wine.

Highly recommended tour! This is not a typical wine tasting tour which I have been. The chef has curated the gourmet food menu to pair with the wine, making this such an awesome and perfect experience! Of course, the bunch of fun people who joined the tour also made this a memorable experience to me! I love the tour so much! 😍😍😍
