Thrilling and Inspiring Outback Tasting Adventure with Chris B. - I went yesterday on a food and wine tasting tour with the amazing Chris B and Andrea and what a fantastic experience it was! Right from the start I could see that Chris had an extensive knowledge and understanding of the region and its history which he shared so eloquently in his warm and friendly tone of voice, with a bit os Aussie humour thrown in of course!) On our journey he explained in great detail all the places we were to visit, and each and every place exceeded my expectations. Chris navigated the Gillies Range expertly, enabling me to feel safe on the winding roads and he and Andrea were so gracious in helping me to embark and disembark from the tour bus, as they could see that I needed help. Our food and wine stops were literally out of this world, exceeding all of my expectations. Chris and Andrea were both very gracious to shop owners allowing them explain the history of their businesses as well as the way in which we could use their products. This opened up a new world to me as I was taught how to use Davidson's plum jam on my roast chicken! The venues were obviously chosen by Chris meticulously so that we travelers could get the most out of each experience. I am not usually a wine drinker, and Chris was sensitive to this as he gently and kindly encouraged, but never pressured me to drink what was on offer. Chris and Andrea, with the help of the kind and caring Leone, created a 'family' feel to the tour, making sure that our overseas visitors from South Korea and the UK felt comfortable and fully included. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience, one I will always look back and reflect on. I strongly recommend this tour which has something for everyone, whether you are a local in Cairns, an interstate visitor or from another country. Thank you so much, Chris B and team for a fabulous day. Bev Brett

Relaxing, Yummy Experience at Atherton Tableland - My family and I totally enjoyed this tour. The driver cum guide is Brigette, she is very knowledgable, helpful and also a very safe driver. The pace of this tour is relaxing and not rush at all, we have enough time at all the places she brought us to. The people at the Atherton Tablelands are very friendly, the food & wine tastings are yummy and full of local favour. We managed to do some shopping of local products, such as cheese, chocolates, wines, fruits, nuts & local souvenirs. The prices are surprisingly reasonable and may be cheaper when compared to some shops in Cairns city. I highly recommend this tour for visitors to Cairns.

Whilst some of the... - Whilst some of the journey did overlap sites seen on other adventures, the food offered was different and tasted good. didn't need dinner after all the food we had on the day. Our guide was lovely and she did a fantastic job, welcoming, informative, and ensuring we all were enjoying the moment.

A symphony of culinary and intellectual delights - The trip is a must-do for any foodie visiting Cairns. Journey away from the local beaches up into the hills to learn about this area's rich culinary traditions. You will try everything from local delicacies like kangaroo BBQ, crocodile pastries and wines to more standard fares like a succulent breakfast, chocolate and ice cream. You will also visit an amazing distillery run by a guy from Germany. Highly recommended, Chris was a great guide!

Chris Led Us to Foodie Heaven! - It is well worth every cent - we had a great day our with our driver, Chris and Bosun - both entertained us with a very interesting informative commentary about the area and its history - the food was excellent with the tasting plates being a stand out. We learnt an amazing amount about not only the food but where it comes from. Just a plea - if the driver is delivering this fascinating info, please don’t talk - save those conversations for the food stops.
