Very professional , entertaining, knowledgeable. His chef talents wonderful. Started with great breakfast BBQ of grilled sandwiches, fresh fruit and juices. As we made our way through the 3 wineries the food kept escalating. Outstanding day.

Chef ‘Jimmy’ is a wonderful host and with his culinary skills, knowledge of Sydney and surrounding areas, made our day just perfect. He is very personable with a great sense of humour and we wish him well in all his endeavours. Sharon/Al Poole - Canada

We absolutely loved the tour and would strongly recommend it! Chef Jimmy was a fun and informative host and served up lots of tasty bites to go with our wine tastings. We loved the first stop at the fish market, rolling our own sushi, the short hike by a river and spotting wildlife along the way. Thank you Jimmy for a truly memorable day!!

Where do I begin, an excellent all around event conducted by an expert chef and sightseeing tour master. We had a great time and went to three excellent wineries as well. Saw my first wild kangaroo at the first winery. We started at the world’s 3rd largest fish market. That in itself was worth the trip. We saw the auction floor and then roamed the expansive area looking at just about everything that comes out of the sea. Of course selections were made for later in the trip. To make it complete we were schooled in sushi making and performed the task ourselves. My wife and I are now sushi experts (well maybe not), but we are going to continue at home very soon on our own. Our guide Jimmy cooked along the way for us at the wineries producing excellent cuisine to pair with the fine wines we were sampling. I am not going to tell you the selections, you will need to experience that yourself. Thank you Jimmy for a wonderful outing/experience.

Five stars all day! What an excellent day with Chef Jimmy! So well organized, fantastic food, wonderful wines, beautiful views, great fun, so relaxing, and very informative. We could not have asked for anything better! Jimmy is a knowledgable guide, excellent driver, a great character and an amazing chef! He paired so many fabulous flavours so well with the different wines at three wineries. The short nature walk was beautiful and the breakfast that followed was delicious. Sushi rolling was fun and it's hard to beat fresh from the market seafood! What a fabulous way to spend the day! You will be disappointed if you don’t book with Jimmy!

Outstanding tour, highly recommended. Jimmy is not only an enthusiastic tour guide but also a great chef. Best way to experience Hunter Valley if you only have one day.

Chef Jimmy showed us the local winery with humor, humbleness, and a lot of knowledge. We ate prawns, oysters, salmon, banana bread with incredible rum, butter, crème brûlée, oh yeah, and wine. It was a fantastic outing and I would definitely recommend it! Thank you Chef Jimmy for an awesome time!

This tour was the best food and wine tour we have ever taken! From the hotel pickup, visit to Sidney’s fish market, sushi roll class and chef cooked brekkie to the amazing food chef Jimmy prepared and the 19 wine tastings to go with the oysters, wagyu sliders, field mushrooms and the other special food, this 12 hour delight was so much fun. We even had a repeat customer in our group. What a wonderful day in Sydney!!

What a fantastic day. Our driver/guide/chef Jimmy was amazing and first drove us to the Sydney fish market to buy fish for our lunch; the experience educational. He then drove us to the Hawkesbury river, where he prepared us a delicious hot breakfast. We then headed to the Hunter Valley, visiting three vineyards for beautiful wine tasting and an amazing lunch (cooked by Jimmy) served during the last two wine tastings. The food was beautifully prepared and tasted wonderful. A day we will never forget - thank you Jimmy.

Delectable food paired to top quality wines, AND you get to see the sights of the Hunter Valley! Guide Jimmy has found his mojo, his place. Loved the trip. Nothing else like it. Superb.

Ok, this was the best day! After an early pickup, our guide, driver, chef Jimmy took us to the Sydney fish market to purchase what we would need for the day. Delicious breakfast at a beautiful park on the way to the vineyards with a sushi rolling lesson. Visited 3 wineries, all boutique, delicious and accommodating. Food ovens more delicious than I can describe. Wonderful day!

Chef Jimmy creates gourmet bites tailored to his guests and the wineries visited, which is truly unique and is what elevates this tour beyond what is already an impressive and high quality small group experience. Just go - your high expectations will be exceeded. Ours definitely were!

Absolutely excellent food and overall, a great day! The visit to the fish market was a very pleasant surprise, in regards to what we learned (I will say no more!). The visits to the smaller vineyards was greatly appreciated and very personal. Jimmy did a very thorough job narrating throughout the tour, and was very appreciative and knowledgeable.

My favorite thing in Sydney. Jimmie was the best guide and an unbelievable cook. Loved the fish market - all the insights about the area but the food was the highlight! He needs to open his own restaurant ! I loved all 3 small family owned vineyards but Jimmies ideas of the food to pair with them all was genius! It was easily one of the best tours I’ve ever taken! This is a must if you are in sydney. Don’t miss this tour - you will have Fomo if you dont go!
