Meet The Makers: Native Australian Food Tour

About this tour

Track down Sydney's most innovative food and drink makers over four hours. You'll visit the fish market at dawn, slip into a craft distillery, watch coffee roasters at work, and meet the artisans behind Australia's native ingredient revolution. Each stop includes tastings and conversation with the people who've built these businesses. Private car whisks you between spots, lunch features native Australian produce, and you'll access spaces the general public doesn't usually see.

What to expect

The tour moves at a steady pace across Sydney's food precincts. You'll start at the fish market while it's still buzzing, handle fresh catch, taste what's in season. Then settle into a roastery to learn how beans are sourced and roasted, cup a few brews. A distillery visit follows with cocktail-making and spirit tastings. You'll meet owners and head roasters—conversations are genuine, not rehearsed. Lunch features native ingredients prepared by the guide's network. The car ride between stops gives you downtime and a local's commentary on the neighbourhoods you're passing through. Expect to walk roughly 1–2 kilometres across the day in short bursts.
