Gourmet Experiences

Fine Wines & Foods From Around The World

It’s one of the great attributes to the word “culture” – because with that word comes all the great dishes and beverages we have come to love so much. Whether it’s Italian pasta or coffee from Peru or curries from Asia, there are so many great tastes and aromas to enjoy and savour. And of course when you choose a Gifts That Thrill gourmet treat, well, that is exactly what you get – a treat! 100%.

Take for instance:

The Wine & Oyster Kayak Tour

Here you can paddle the beautiful Brisbane Waters and Woy Woy Bay weaving amongst oyster farms and past Pelican Island, breeding ground of the famous Woy Woy pelicans. You'll experience the spectacular scenery and wildlife all from the comfort of your kayak as you learn about the oysters, how they are grown and how to enjoy them best, before indulging in the oyster & wine tasting during this amazing 10km return trip

Masala Walking Tour

This walking tour through Melbourne is one you won't forget. You'll not only sample delicious Indian food but you'll learn all about the contributions that Indians have made to Australian society. When Indians arrived in Australia many years ago, they brought with them their culture and their delicious Indian food and spices that changed the landscape of Australian food forever. Bring an appetite and an open mind. This is a food-lover's adventure that will be remembered for years to come.

Yarra Valley Wine

The Yarra Valley is one of Australia’s leading wine producing regions. It is home to multi award-winning Pinot’s and Chardonnay’s and they are recognised all over the world. Learn all about the haunting delicacy and strawberry plum of the Pinot Noir or the honey, pear and peach of its’ white sister Pinot Gris. Then there’s the berry-chocolate, cedar-leather of the Cabernet Sauvignon. The pepper, spice, and anise of the Shiraz. Or the distinctive fig and white peach of the classic Chardonnay. Simply delicious! And it all comes with a mouth-watering lunch too!
