Overview

This is not your average Hunter Valley wine tour. From the moment you leave Sydney, you’re hosted by a qualified chef who is also your driver and guide, creating a seamless food-and-wine experience from start to finish.

The day begins with a stop at the brand new Sydney Fish Market, the third-largest fish market in the world, where fresh local seafood is selected before heading north. To break up the scenic two-hour drive, enjoy breakfast by the Hawkesbury River before arriving in wine country.

In the Hunter Valley, visit three hand-picked boutique wineries. From his mobile kitchen your chef prepares modern Australian dishes on site, carefully paired with the wines you’re tasting—transforming each visit into a true culinary experience. Along the way, there’s a strong chance of spotting native wildlife, including kangaroos and birdlife among the vineyards.

A relaxed, immersive day blending great food, boutique wines, and chef-led hospitality.
