Thanks for visiting our website. We hope you join us on one or all of our tours.

The following is a small bit of information about us, your tour researchers and guides.

Jill grew up in a large farming family near Crookwell and understands farmers, their business and their issues. She is an active member of the Slow Food movement and has had 5 years experience as a Committee Member of the local group. 

For the past 2 years Jill was Convivium Leader of Slow Food Southern Highlands. During that time she organised many activities including producer visits, taste education workshops  and  special dinners supporting local producers and local  businesses.

Last year Jill organised a day out in the Southern Highlands for a bunch of chefs at the request of Alfonse Ales from Bilsons who wanted to use more regional food in his restaurant. Alfonse gathered nine chefs and apprentices from some of the top restaurants in Sydney. They visited four different producers, a butcher who sells meat from local farmers and had a leisurely lunch at a beautiful winery. This was such a success that Jill and Nick started to think about offering a similar experience to others.  

Jill knows the Southern Highlands and Southern Tablelands well and is keen to share her knowledge and experiences.

Here's looking forward to meeting you!

His library of books covering all aspects of gastronomy, food, wine and cooking is extensive. He is a restaurant critic and food writer as well as an accredited cheese judge for the RAS, ASCA and the Robertson Show. Living in the Southern Highlands for the past 10 years has enabled Nick to enjoy being close to regional food sources and producers.

Nick started the Slow Food Convivium in the Southern Highlands in 2003 and  is currently a Director of Slow Food Australia. His extensive knowledge is a great resource for the food tours planned by Jill and Nick through FoodPath.
