Thoroughly enjoyed our Hunter Valley day out from Sydney. It was very organised from the start. We had Mark as the driver who was very informative, friendly and helpful. Included in our tour was a chocolate and wine pairing, a cheese and wine pairing, other tastings and talks and also a lunch which I would consider a dinner as it was huge! Very nice. Would recommend

Tour was amazing! With a variety of stops and an awesome tour guide like Dave (Greg) the tour was perfect! Would 100% do it again. Only thing is maybe would’ve brought water for the bus ride. Other then that the service at each stop, as well as with Greg having cooler etc for our wine & goods it was great!!

Thoroughly enjoyable day spent in Hunter Valley with our amazing guide Crystal! all of the places we visited were fabulous and a great variety of experiences from delicious wine to sparkly gin!

Got to try different wines, gins and vodka. The cheese was amazing. And we had Todd as our super nice tour guide today. Highly recommend!

It is worthy. You could drink different kinds of wine in each stop.
