Chef-led Hunter Valley day trip from Sydney with Fish Market breakfast, chef cooking, wine tastings at boutique wineries, and lunch.
“Great tour. Chef Jimmy was very friendly and knowledgeable. His food was great. We went to great wineries.”
A small-group luxury trip from Sydney that mixes up-close native wildlife and boutique Hunter Valley wine tasting, plus cheese stops.
“Nice tour, the wildlife park is really nice and obvious animals well looked after, I personally would prefer lunch at a winery rather than a resort, the first winery I didn’t rate - Allandale, just wasn’t great at all. Second winery was beautiful and really good - Bon Villa, and would be nice to have a bit livelier music on way home. With a change of lunch venue and changing out first winery would be 5 star. Sam was a really good guide and knowledgable.”
Small-group Sydney craft beer tour from Surry Hills with air-conditioned transport, behind-the-scenes brewery visits, and generous tastings.
“Loved it, was a birthday present for my hubby. I personally don't like beer, but enjoyed the vibe and ciders”
A small-group Surry Hills food tour with 8 tastings, lunch, local wine, and a harbor-sights walk from Opera House to The Rocks.
“We had a nice afternoon with Karina. The food was yummy and it was just enough to comfortably fill you. Be warned tho the description of this excursion is completely wrong. It has nothing to do with seeing any of the popular spots like the bridge or opera house. You only stay in one neighborhood. Also the food varies a bit from the description so don’t expect what you read about.”
