Corporate Safaris
 

Gourmet Safaris offers a unique insight into the food world in Sydney and Melbourne. We organise bespoke tours for corporate groups to explore some of the food “villages” of Sydney and Melbourne and some of the great culinary finds scattered through each city.

Learn about products that are unique to particular cuisines and meet the producers who recreate the flavours they have brought from across the world.

A day out with Gourmet Safaris is delicious and inspiring as well as being a great team building exercise.
