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!

From the time we head to the fish market till the end we finish the wine & food tasting … I enjoy every single minute of it… Jimmy is a very pleasant host and really enjoy the food & wine tasting together experience!! He is pairing different wine and different food and that’s a very unique experience and we like it!

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! 😍😍😍

Visit to Sydney Seafood Market and Jimmie’s delicious breakfast and late lunch were highlights. Jimmie is also a cordial, knowledgeable, and humorous tour guide. We only wish we were staying in Sydney long enough to take Jimmie’s new beaches and food tour.

Before I start my long winded overshare about how much I loved this tour, if you’re looking for the short and sweet here it is: book this tour! If you’ve only set aside one day for wine, just do this tour! You will have a wonderful authentically Australian experience! From the hotel pick up to drop off I felt well cared for, entertained, wined and dined! We started off at the fish market, and even though I had been before I learned so much more! After that we had a beautiful breakfast by the river outside of Sydney, there was an optional very short nature walk to the breakfast area and lovely views. Besides some fabulous birdwatching we got a yummy breakfast and a sushi making lesson. Our guide Jimmy made me laugh out loud several times, he’s such a wonderful chef, but also seems like a wonderful person. I usually hate being on tours and being herded here and there, but Jimmy was so kind and gentle with keeping us on schedule I hardly felt like I was on a tour at all! In fact it felt more like your very organized friend with a giant van decided to plan the loveliest day possible. Ok…back on track, the ride to Hunter Valley was longish, but between the stop for breakfast and the great commentary when something interesting came up it didn’t feel too bad. We visited 3 great wineries, and had food pairings at the last 2. The food was excellent, as good as anything you’ll get in Sydney. I know I’m just an internet lady, but I have had the good fortune to be able to visit lots of Michelin star restaurants, I can confidently say the food is up to par, and thoughtfully paired with the wine. Lots of good pairings and SEVERAL great pairings. All the wineries were happy to have us, everything felt well organized and orchestrated. My husband was working so I was traveling by myself and I truly felt well cared for! I was never bored, certainly never hungry, but definitely a little tipsy by the end! Please do go on this tour, you will enjoy it!

Great all day experience with Chef Jimmy ! Gourmet food, wine tasting & sightseeing, what more can there be ? Yummy breakfast of fresh fruit & breakfast sandwiches made @ our 1st stop in a beautiful little village park. Also, a hands on sushi making class with our own custom sushi roll to be eaten later with lunch. Sightseeing en route to 3 wineries in the Hunter Valley, Jimmy’s a great tour guide also ! Snacks @ each winery, followed by lunch @ the 3rd. It was a great day with great food, great wine & beautiful sights.

This was such a fun day! Jimmy‘s food was exceptional and we learned a lot of fun facts about Australia along the drive. The wine tastings were a great experience, too. Beautiful venues, great hosts and lots of tastings. I’m glad I joined as a solo traveller to experience something truly unique.

Fabulous tour ! Chef Jimmy was very informative as a travel guide and the food prepared was delicious. A stop @the local Fish market followed by a breakfast @ a local park. Fresh fruit, breakfast sandwiches/paninis & juice, all delicious. We then had a sushi making class and made our own sushi to be eaten later @ one of the wineries. Three different winery stops with appetizers served @ our second stop. Third winery tastings included our lunch of our hand rolled sushi, scallops on the half shell, Wagu beef sliders & cream brûlée. It was a great day and many people snoozed on the way back.
