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

Chef Jimmy leads this 11 to 12-hour Sydney day trip from the Fish Market to three boutique Hunter Valley wineries. Expect breakfast, wine tastings, lunch, and chef-made food pairings, with a scenic Hawkesbury River stop and pickup from selected Sydney locations. The group is capped at 16.

“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 !!”
