1.00Cramped transport, def. not premium tour, no a/c on return journey and no offer of even an ice cream or an apology from the tour operator. (In fairness to the driver he couldn’t do anything and was a decent bloke)
Excellent and fun tour....

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!
