Immersive tours through stunning fruit and grape growing regions
Welcome to Fruit Trails, where we transform ordinary tourism into extraordinary sensory experiences. Founded in 2010, we specialize in curating unique journeys through Australia's most spectacular fruit and grape growing regions. Our guided tours combine the pleasure of tasting farm-fresh produce with the beauty of rural Australian landscapes and the richness of local cultures.
What sets Fruit Trails apart is our deep connection with local farmers and communities. We've built relationships with over 50 family-owned orchards, vineyards, and farms across New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland. This network allows our guests exclusive access to hidden gems that most tourists never discover – from heritage apple orchards in the Blue Mountains to third-generation vineyards in the Hunter Valley.
Our expert guides are passionate about Australian agriculture and possess extensive knowledge about fruit cultivation, wine production, and sustainable farming practices. They create immersive experiences that engage all senses – from the sweet scent of ripening peaches to the satisfying crunch of freshly picked apples, from the vibrant colors of tropical fruit plantations to the intricate processes of winemaking.
Go beyond sightseeing with hands-on fruit picking, tasting sessions, and culinary workshops.
Meet passionate growers and learn about sustainable farming practices firsthand.
Experience different fruits and landscapes throughout the year with our seasonal tours.

"Our family's Hunter Valley tour with Fruit Trails was the highlight of our Australian vacation! Our guide James was incredibly knowledgeable about wine production, and he made the experience entertaining for our children too. The private access to family vineyards that aren't on typical tourist routes made us feel special. Tasting grapes directly from the vines and then sampling the finished wines gave us a new appreciation for the winemaking process."
"As an international visitor, I was looking for authentic Australian experiences beyond the typical tourist attractions. The Tropical Fruit Expedition exceeded all expectations! I tasted fruits I'd never even heard of before, like finger limes and custard apples. The tour was perfectly paced with a good balance of activities and relaxation time. Our guide was excellent at explaining the cultural significance of different fruits and their role in Australian cuisine."
"I organized a corporate retreat with Fruit Trails for our team of 15 people, and it was exactly what we needed. The apple orchard tour and cider-making workshop got everyone collaborating in a completely different environment. It was amazing to see how our team dynamics shifted in this natural setting. The farm-to-table lunch was exceptional, and the personalized touches throughout the day showed great attention to detail. Several team members called it our best team-building event ever."
