Wonderful day of food and wine tasting - This small group (11 in ours) wine and food tasting tour was a hit with all who attended. Jimmy is an exceptional chef who taught us so much about the Hunter Valley region, how to roll sushi (which we enjoyed later in the day), and made sure we left with fully bellies and loads of memories. Participant pickup and drop off was quick and efficient. Communication in advance was excellent. I also appreciated that Jimmy incorporated so many of the local flavors into his dishes. This was one of the highlights of our Sydney vacation! Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience! - Wonderful experience! Well worth the time. Jimmy was fantastic as a chef and a tour guide! We started in the Sydney fish market and then go to Hunter Valley, about a 2hr drive. We visited 3 wineries and a chocolate factory. Jimmy made some gourmet small plates to go with with every wine we tasted at the second and third wineries. We got to all 15 people, everyone from a different country! We were all friends by the end of the tour! Fantastic experience!

A great day out - highly recommended - Excellent day out. Jimmy was charming, informative, funny and helpful, as well as providing delicious food, starting with a monster breakfast at the fish market. Wineries were interesting, and the wines were very good. Though it rained all day, we had a fabulous trip and would thoroughly recommend it.

Chef extraordinaire! - Chef Jimmy has curated the perfect trip from Sydney into the wine country. We had the most amazing dishes paired with small boutique wines. The scallops, kangaroo, mushrooms, asparagus were all amazing little dishes and there were so many more! This is a must excursion if you love wine and expertly prepared food!

Super super experience - I thought I did the review months ago. Very, very happy. So much so we went the next day with him. Food was superb. Loved going to the fish market in Sydney early in the mot. This has convinced us to do food tours everywhere we go

Just say YES to this tour! - Two 👍🏻👍🏻! This was a fantastic life choice. I looked at many tours before booking. I loved that this wine adventure paired food because we all know wine is best when paired with fabulous cuisine. Jimmy did it all. He coordinated the day, including preparing the food out of his “kitchen” that he built into the van….And it was fantastic! There were 15 of us on the tour. (16 is the max.) It was a nice size group, as a solo traveler. I got to have good conversation with everyone in the group. It very personal. Jimmy was great about accommodating the vegetarian and people that didn’t eat pork and they raved about the alternatives he prepared just for them!
