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.

It is very exciting that the busy weeks are getting closer and more frequent - we must be doing something right!
I enjoyed them all - the variety is good and we are able to visit different venues to suit different groups.
- Had a corporate group last Sat 17 Aug for a Winery Tour and Lunch
- A Truffle Tour at Robertson on Sun 18 Aug with 30 people!!
- During the week we had a group of 21 Yr 9 Ag students from Sydney plus 2 teachers for two days of Farm Tours.

- On Fri we did a presentation to a group of visiting corporate representatives at Craigieburn, who have been very supportive of us. Developing some new team building options for that market. And finally
- Today we had 5 people for a Market Tour at Biota and 12 for lunch. A full day but a nice way to spend the last Sun of the month.

Well, three family tours in one week - a good start to the year but time for a rest. We had huge groups for the first two and a smaller group today. Always get last minute bookings which is interesting - people waking up and looking for things to do with the kids that day.
The first tour was mostly grandparents, but the next two were young families who had come to the Highlands to stay. Most were happy to have access to tours like ours so hopefully we will see them again.
Now we are looking forward to the Bowral Market Tour on Sat morning then we are going to the Writers Festival ourselves, looking forward to that.
The Truffle Tours are filling up - that is something different.
We have also been asked by the CWA to put together a tour for a Moroccan Chef. They are studying Morocco this year and have a visiting chef coming to run cooking classes and put on a dinner - and come on a tour with us to see what local produce is about.
Next week we have a corporate group for a tour and we have been asked to put a tour on for a Sydney Travel Club. Always something going on and a variety of activities, which keeps things interesting.
Let us know if we can do something for you or if you have any suggestions or feedback. Cheers, Jill
