Very well organized. Jeff was a great tour guide and took us to some great wineries as well as a cheese tasting and chocolate pairing. To be honest lunch became a bit of a struggle!! But I would highly recommend this tour for both an excellent experience.

This was a great trip. Excellent driver and guide. They were very responsive making arrangements and answering questions. Three wine stops and one cheese stops. All were excellent.
Christine_R, Mar 2024
Small, local wineries with generous tastings and good wine. The cheese tasting was very delicious. The lunch included at the country club was very tasty and well presented. Good chocolate stop too.
Ben did a very good job guiding and driving. Would highly recommend tour!
Kim_W, Mar 2024
We felt this wasn’t particularly a tour for people who are very interested in wine. The tour guide, although friendly, did not really give much information about wine and the Hunter Valley. He was really just a means of transport and keeping us on track. The lunch was at a golf club which we thought a little odd, lunch at a winery would have been nicer. We didn’t particularly visit any really picturesque spots but we did visit three wineries and a cheese maker.

We were picked up early morning and from the beginning the trip was excellent! Our driver and guide, Ben, was a mind of information all through the day. The Hunter Valley is a beautiful area to drive through with the Great Dividing Range always in the background. The 3 wineries we went to Sadlers Creek, McLeish Estate and Ernest Hill all produce top class wines and tasting them all was fun! By the end of the day our small group of 14 had become friends! Would recommend this tour.

Excellent day out. The first winery was the best of the three visited. The venue for lunch was excellent and the meal provided was lovely. Tony our driver/tour guide was very good and all went to time.
Noca_E, Feb 2024
We really enjoyed the Hunter Valley Wine Tour. Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable. Each winery was unique with there own production of wines. It was great to visit this area outside Sydney and see the beautiful countryside including the Kangaroos roaming the area.
