We create small group adventures that go beyond the guidebook. Our tours help people connect with nature, with each other, and with themselves through travel. From wine-tasting in boutique Hunter Valley vineyards to hiking through breathtaking national parks and swimming at hidden beaches across NSW, every trip is personal, thoughtful, and never rushed.
Leave the city behind and explore Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, where sandstone cliffs, calm waterways, and hidden bush tracks create the perfect escape just north of Sydney.We’ll follow scenic trails through native bush, pause at lookouts with views of Pittwater and the Hawkesbury, and wander into quiet spots big buses can’t reach. Midway, we’ll stop for a catered picnic with local cheeses, dips, olives, falafel, dolmades, fresh fruit, and kombucha — simple, fresh, and shared outdoors.For those who enjoy seafood, there’s also an optional stop in Mooney Mooney to taste fresh Sydney oysters straight from the local farms.What we offer is a grounded, sensory experience of this land, a relaxed day in nature and moments you’ll carry with you long after you leave. If you’re after detailed information on local flora and fauna, we do share some, but we’re not naturalists or the kind of guides who go deep into species details.
Some of the best wines are poured where the phone connection drops, the kind of places you find by following stories, not signs. Join for a day of wine, connection, and nature, an independent experience for travellers who prefer the road less taken. A trip you will remember. After years in Sydney’s food and wine scene, I’ve handpicked small vineyards and local producers that truly capture the region’s heart.I’ll also take you on a scenic drive though Wollombi valley with beautiful views, before visiting the historic village of Wollombi to unwind completely.
