About Us...
- Jill Dyson,
- Southern Highlands, NSW, Australia
- Click on the link to read Jill's latest blog post. Jill has been running FoodPath in the Southern Highlands of NSW with her partner Nick since April 2010. They have grown the business to a level where they now include a range of activities including tours, workshops and collaboration with others (cooking schools, wineries, etc). During the past 10 years Jill and Nick have got to know the local producers and continue to promote and support these local small businesses. They have organised and run many food related activities including taste education workshops and producer visits. It was after they organised a successful tour for a group of chefs from some of the best restaurants in Sydney that they realised they could turn their interest into a business - and this led to the setting up of FoodPath - Culinary Tours with a Difference. Now Jill and Nick are working closely with Southern Highlands Tourism and Wingecarribee Council to help raise the profile of their area as a food destination where everyone will benefit - tourists, local consumers and the producers themselves.

We start with a beautiful sustainable farm near Moss Vale. Privately owned - not normally open to the public. Lots to see.
Then we visit the potato farm before heading for Mt Ashby Winery for lunch.
This is a most beautiful setting and I am sure you will love it. Used to be an old Throsby dairy.
After lunch you can browse through the French furniture that is for sale in "the shed" before we leave to catch the afternoon milking at the dairy nearby.
Meet at Cecil Hoskins Reserve near Moss Vale at 10am.
Finish at Small Cow Farm Robertson at 5pm.
A guided self drive tour where you follow us in your car.
Price: $120
To book contact us from the website www.foodpath.com.au, email info@foodpath.com.au or ring Jill on 0419 617 021

Rosie picked up our postcard at a local cafe and had it on her fridge thinking it was something she would like to do one day - and when it came to her birthday, thought of this as something different to do with her family and friends. What a great idea - and we had a fun day!
We started with coffee at the Exeter General Store, then on to Montrose Berry Farm where we had a tasting of their berry products and we went berry picking.

Tastings with Jasmin at the their new business - the Sutton Forest Country Store.
A delicious lunch at the Exeter Studio restaurant where Eon the Chef also had a birthday!
After lunch we had a wine tasting with Nereo at St Maur's cellar door.
All in all the day had nice variety, a nice pace, took the tour to interesting places and people.
