25 Aug Hungry for the South Coast

VictorsFood Launches ‘Hungry For The South Coast’ Tour As Part Of Sydney International Food Festival

If you can see yourself on a pristine beach or tucking into the freshest oysters imaginable, local wine in hand, then VictorsFood’s Hungry for the South Coast Tour is the perfect weekend for you.

Hosted by chef and trainer Victor Pisapia and MasterChef finalist Michelle Darlington, the tour begins at 7.30am on Saturday 31 October. Guests are picked up in Sydney and driven down the coast, via the stunning Sea Cliff Drive, by coach.

First stop: Iconic Berry Woodfired Sourdough Bakery for a caffeine hit and morning tea. You meet and greet the chief baker, legendarily cheerful Joost Hilkemeijer, who reveals his ‘flour +water + salt’ sourdough secrets.

Freshly enlightened, you taste some of Joost’s wares with local Kangaroo Valley Olive Oil, then you’re off to the Treat Factory for a demonstration using the world’s finest callebaut chocolate. Last stop before lunch is an organic vegetable farm that supplies all the local restaurants.

Hungry? It’s time for lunch with World Champion oyster shucker, Jim from Jim’s Wild Oysters. Hoe into fresh Sydney Rock Oysters on the water at Greenwell Point and sip on local vino.

With a full belly, you check in to Bay of Plenty Lodges for a short break, napping, strolling and swimming in the Jervis Bay National Park.

Fully refreshed, you are driven through the bush to The Gunyah restaurant at Paperbark Camp for delicious meal using season produce by celebrity chef John Evans (ex Three Weeds, Sydney).

After a well-deserved sleep-in on Sunday morning, you rejoin the group at 10am and it’s off further south to Cupitt’s Winery to learn about underground winemaking in the barrel ‘cave’. After your educational morning, you are joined by a host of passionate South Coast foodies for a Slow Food ‘100 Mile’ lunch using only locally sourced ingredients.

Late in the afternoon, you head back to Sydney with one last stop at the Crooked River Winery to sample its white port. Doze your way home, arriving back at 7pm.

The first Hungry for the South Coast Tour will take place on the weekend of 31st October – 1st November.
