Our Story
Redefining Luxury Touring In Sydney
A considered way to experience Sydney — through food, wine, nature and local perspective.
Sydney Privé was founded by Matt and Candice with a simple intention: to share Sydney as it is lived, not merely visited. Drawing on years in hospitality, fine wine and concierge service, we design privately hosted experiences that balance iconic landmarks with coastal walks, vineyard lunches and meaningful local access. From the Blue Mountains to the Hunter Valley and along Sydney’s eastern shoreline, every tour reflects a lifestyle built around good taste, movement and time well spent.
Sydney Privé began with a belief that luxury touring should feel personal, unhurried and deeply connected to place. Rather than offering standard sightseeing, we create refined private experiences shaped by local knowledge and genuine relationships across Sydney and regional New South Wales. Our journeys move seamlessly between harbour icons and hidden vantage points, coastal paths and long vineyard lunches. In the Blue Mountains, guests experience dramatic landscapes with perspective and space. In the Hunter Valley, private tastings and conversations with winemakers unfold naturally. In Sydney itself, we combine architectural landmarks, beach culture and thoughtfully chosen dining that reflects the city’s culinary edge. Matt’s background as a sommelier and hospitality professional informs each detail — from the pace of the day to the choice of restaurant or cellar door. Candice brings structure, balance and operational precision, ensuring that every experience feels effortless. The result is not simply a tour, but a privately hosted journey — defined by discretion, access and a way of travelling that values quality over volume.
Matt

Matt founded Sydney Privé to share his way of experiencing Australia — through food, wine, coastal movement and meaningful local connection. With a background in fine hospitality and wine, he hosts each journey personally, balancing iconic landmarks with lived perspective.
Matt is the founder of Sydney Privé, a certified sommelier and private host who has spent years working in fine hospitality and curated travel experiences. His approach to touring is shaped by an understanding that luxury is not excess — it is balance, access and attention to detail. Over the past five years, Matt has embraced a mindful and active lifestyle that increasingly defines the Sydney Privé experience. Early gym sessions, coastal walks, cold plunges, sauna rituals and clean, considered eating are not trends — they are part of how he lives, and how he invites guests to experience Australia. Days are designed to flow naturally between movement and indulgence: a clifftop walk before a long vineyard lunch, ocean air before a glass of thoughtfully chosen wine. For Matt, travel is about rhythm — the right pace, the right setting, the right company. Every journey is personally hosted, shaped by local relationships, and grounded in a genuine connection to place.

As a lifestyle writer, she curates the Sydney Privé journal — sharing reflections, travel insights and moments drawn from lived experience.Beyond the brand, Candice is the heart of our family of four, nurturing Amelia and Zac with the same care and intention she brings to our work. Living on Sydney’s northern beaches, her rhythm is grounded in coastal walks, yoga, ocean swims and discovering the evolving Sydney food scene.

This combination of expertise and luxury creates a truly inspirational travel experience, something that we call ‘the Sydney Privé difference’.
