    The tour was good, driver Flinders was knowledgable about the places we were heading to
    He was funny and relaxed and by the end of the tour had the bus laughing and singing to the music

    Such a wonderful experience for my best friend and I! A great way to experience Hunter Valley without worrying about driving.
    Stopped by some cute boutique wineries, which we wouldn’t have known about prior to the tour, and ended the tour in a beautiful location. Definitely recommend this tour! If you get Colin as your tour guide – even better!

    We booked this trip as a group of three couples to get a hint of the wine region. Pick up was from our hotel and due to COVID we ended up in a mini van just the six of us. Our guide Greg was knowledgeable and fun and we had a very enjoyable day learning about the wine making process and sampling lots of different varieties. First stop was De Iuliis where we were given a tour of the process and Shaun our guide was informative and interesting. He had confirmed white wine drinkers trying and buying red wine. This winery was the highlight of the day! From there we had cheese and wine at Wynward Wines which we all found a little disappointing after our first stop. It didn’t feel like we had our guides attention as he kept disappearing and it felt like not enough care was being given to explaining and engaging. It was also disappointing that the most of the wine was not made in the Hunter. Lunch next door at Twine was lovely. From there we visited the Hunter Distillery which was so much fun. Two of us even tried the chilli vodka! Last stop of the day was Glandore Estate where chocolate was paired with the wine. This had so much potential but somehow fell a little flat. Most if the wine was red which was a bit of a problem for half the group who are confirmed white wine drinkers. The four chocolates didn’t really match either – they were truffles and we felt squares of Flavoured chocolate would have worked better. It was a great day and we had a lot of fun but it was unfortunate that the best winery was the first stop of the day. It would have been good to taste some sparkling wines too. We enjoyed the day but with so many wineries, cheese makers and chocolatiers in the region not sure that the best were visited on this occasion.

    My husband and I have never been on a wine tasting tour before and were apprehensive as it was going to be a long day. We needn’t have worried though, as the moment we stepped on the bus we were made to feel welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, learnt a lot about wine, food was lovely and the distillery was fun. There was no pressure to buy and we would highly recommend this company.

    Julie was the perfect tour guide and ensured we had an amazing time. I would definitely recommend exploring the Hunter Valley with her 😊

    Great day, visited a number of wineries and enjoyed the wine and cheese pairings offered at a couple of the stops.

    It was great being picked up by our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide Peter at our accommodation in Cessnock.
    Though there was a mix up with the first winery he quickly resolved the issue and a substitute winery was found.
    The choice of wineries was great. The distillery chosen was great and the presenter there was personable and engaging. Lunch was delicious.
    Peter was very understanding when we had to deal with a family medical emergency in another state during the tour.
    He also added an extra stop at a chocolate factory at the end.
    We were then deposited back at our accommodation at the end of a lovely day.
    The only disappointment was there wasn’t more cheeses to be tasted but we think that was meant to happen at the missed winery who couldn’t accommodate our tour that day.

    Wonderful driver and host friendly knowledgeable. Fantastic wine and distillery visits. Definitely worth it a great day out

    We had very generous pours from the winery’s. The chocolate and cheese pairings were great. The specific winery tour guides were very knowledgeable too. Unfortunately we did not get to go to one of the wineries listed (De Iuliis) I am not sure why this was. This was listed on the itinerary and we were looking forward to this place. We were not told why we didn’t go here. The driver is a driver only – no extra information provided about the area. He seemed to always be in a rush and was happy that he was getting an “early mark”. A great small group however and you can easily get to know people. In comparison to other winery tours we’ve done it is average for its price.

    The experience of the tour was great it was the miscommunication with viator that was horrible. Apparently there was no pickup available from our location never should have been offered per vendor! Vendor paid for our uber ride to a meeting spot & we paid the return to our hotel. We would like to request a refund of uber ride. Please contact me so I can send over uber receipt.
