3.00The driver didn’t speak to us until around 30 minutes after we got on the bus. The stops were rushed. It would have been better to have had less stops for a little longer. I definitely would have preferred just wine tasting.and didn’t feel the vodka and gin tasting was enjoyable with its psychedelic colour and glitter. The bus was also not comfortable for a full day trip. Our meals did not arrive with the other ones which then ment we had to leave most of it so the group could do the next tasting. Not one of the best trips I have been on. The area we visited was lovely most for the wine we tasted was good. The staff in the wineries we visited were knowledgeable and some were entertaining too.
Long day but worth it! I...

5.00Three wineries, lunch and a distillery…such a fun day. Hunter Valley area was beautiful and the wines were delicious. The shimmering gin and vodka were all very good and difficult to choose a favorite. Our guide was wonderful and we even got to see kangaroos!
It is a lot of driving...

3.00It is a lot of driving from Sydney and I was disappointed with different aspects of each venue. First one was interesting with best wine of the day but site under disrepair. The spirits I could have done without… they all had edible glitter and colorings in them which in my mind detracted from taste. The third venue is where we had lunch and the wine and cheese pairing. I very much disliked the wine here and the cheese was not the kind I typically consume and was tolerable. There was a nice choice of food to pick from. I got the nachos as did three other gals but we were disappointed that there was no cheese on them as stated in the menu… they were good as they were but just disappointing without the nacho cheese! I tried a dark lager here and it was fine. The last venue was set up nicely and had wine and chocolate pairing. I think I was too tired to appreciate it. Many sweeter and fortified wines here to go with chocolate. I would never have paid this much for a similar experience in the US… very much catered to tourists who don’t really know enough about wine to care what they are drinking.
