Perfect Wine & Food Excursion! - Absolutely amazing! The best wine tour I have ever been on. The food aspect of this really made it! Jimmy is so passionate about the food he cooks from the back of his bus - yes really! (incredible food!) and is so knowledgeable about the whole region! A truly fabulous day, which started with a visit to Sydney fish market, selecting items for lunch. This is by far the best and most memorable excursion throughout my whole trip to Australia! Thank you!

A+ Tour to Hunter Valley - We’ve wine tastes all over the world and many times on a daily tour. Jimmy was amongst the best! While the wines were good and Jimmy picked excellent locations, the real highlight was the gourmet food that he prepared to pair with most wines. Truely outstanding and as good as any restaurant that we visited in Sydney. A+ to Jimmy the tour guide!

An Adventure for all the Senses - This food and wine experience was incredible. Jimmy’s passion for delivering for his clients came through in every part of day. From the early morning visit to the fish market on opening day, to the picnic breakfast en route to Hunter Valley and then the visit to the vineyards where Jimmy paired his yummy cuisine with the local wines. We totally enjoyed meeting people on the adventure and sharing great company, food and wine!

Great upscale day trip from Sydney - This tour was fantastic. Jimmy was a wonderful host. Great food and nice wines. It is a special way to see what the area around Sydney is like. The Hunter Valley is worth seeing. Much better to have a guide driving when visiting 3 wonderful wineries. We were lucky to be on the trip on the day that the new spectacular Sydney Fish Market opened.

Foodies nirvana! - Here’s the updated review with that added smoothly: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gourmet Getaway Tours – Hunter Valley What an incredible day in the Hunter Valley with Gourmet Getaway Tours! We enjoyed beautifully curated wine pairings at three locations, each one better than the last. The experience was elevated even further by Jimmy’s fantastic chef-prepared food—including salmon sushi tacos, delicate scallops, Wagyu beef sliders, fresh asparagus, a wonderful selection of cheeses, and a perfectly finished crème brûlée. Every dish was thoughtfully paired with outstanding wines, including Semillon, Shiraz, and Rosé, allowing each flavor to really shine. Everything was seamless, relaxed, and indulgent—the perfect way to experience Hunter Valley. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great wine, amazing food, and a truly memorable tour. 🍷✨

Unmatched, MUST Do - I’m not sure there is a better event in NSW…countryside, wine and freshly cooked food. Get to know NSW from a native who knows wine and food. Jimmy’s chef-led tour is unmatched.

Don't miss this hidden gem - This tour was the highlight of our trip to Australia and New Zealand. Jimmy has curated an amazing experience and was knowledgeable from the start at the Sydney Fish Market to each stop along the way. Every bite was better than the last and he tailored everything to allergies and preferences. You'll be amazed at what he can whip up and how well he pairs everything with the wines you get to taste. A memorable experience we would gladly book again.
