SYDNEY SAFARIS 2012

Sydney has a number of distinct "villages" around which the people of particular nationalities have settled - the Italians in Haberfield, the Turkish around Auburn, the Lebanese in Punchbowl, the Greeks in Marrickville, the Vietnamese in Cabramatta, Koreans in Eastwood and Portuguese in Petersham. Join us with a local from each place to plunge into these worlds, full of different aromas, sights and sounds. All tours include specialist guide/s, lunch (some with wine), recipes, many tastings.

The best way into a new cuisine is to watch and learn and these classes are designed to open up new tastes, to show you authentic recipes by top chefs and cooks, to give you tips on technique and particular ingredients. Safaris include demonstration class, recipes, generous tastings.

The most luxurious of our safaris are those where you surrender yourself to the marvelous dining experience called lunch. Each of these safaris is a truly special day spent in beautiful restaurants with top chefs showing off their cuisine, often demonstrating dishes served that day. One banquet is even in a private home.  Gourmet Safaris Director Maeve O’Meara hosts all banquets. Safari includes bubbles on arrival, demonstration, lunch with wine.
