2.Chef-Led Hunter Valley Gourmet Food and Wine Day Tour from Sydney

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 728 reviews · from $198

Join chef and guide Jimmy for an 11 to 12-hour day from Sydney to the Hunter Valley. Visit the Sydney Fish Market, stop at the Hawkesbury River, tour three boutique wineries, and enjoy breakfast, lunch, snacks, and fresh food paired with wine.

“This is easily one of the best tours we’ve done in 10 years of travelling! We toured 3 small wineries in the Hunter Valley where the wines were paired by our own guide and Chef, Jimmy. The day started with a tour of the Sydney fish market where Jimmy bought produce for some of his creations at the wineries later and gave us a class in sushi rolling. Jimmy’s good humour and enthusiasm were infectious as he shared both his gourmet guidance and local knowledge during the day. We cannot recommend this more highly !!”
