Wineries tour with Dave's travel

5.00Enjoyable small group tour, featuring several wineries in the Hunter Valley along with a stop for pizza lunch. It was a great prelude to our cruise holiday which began the following day. Guide was friendly and informative, felt that we had good value for money and certainly a full day out. Logistics, booking, pick up all ram smoothly and comfortable transit in the mini van. My personal favourite when it came to the wineries was probably Mcaffreys, but each of the sites had their own vibe and character. Would be happy to recommend this firm, thank you.
Good Wine! Excellent Designated Driver!

5.00We enjoyed our wine tasting tour. Drew was very knowledgable and shared quite a bit of history about Sydney and the Hunter Valley area. He even pulled over for us to take pictures of wild kangaroos. The wines were very good. The wine tastings were different for us - we sat at tables as they served our tastings (we are used to stepping up to the counter, choosing a flight, and tasting as you walk around). This was vey organized as we learned about the wines and talked with the winemakers. We had a variety of pizza at Bimbadgen Winery that was tasty! The gin tasting was interesting, but not essential. Our favorite was the wine and chocolate pairing at The Wine Lab!

5.00Very worth seeing landscape in the Hunter Valley. Many wines were allowed to be tasted and a lot of background information was provided to us by the nice and competent guide. Plus a delicious lunch in beautiful weather and beautiful views. Delicious gins, cheeses and chocolates. There was nothing missing. Except eventually we reached the limits of what we could tolerate in alcohol. Highly recommended . And saw kangaroos.
Good value for the money....

5.00Good value for the money. Exactly as advertised Wines were good as was the wood fired pizza lunch. Drew did a great job as the host. The 2 1/2 hour drive flew by. Drew stopped halfway for a 15 minute break and explained everything in clear detail.
A fun day out!

5.00We really enjoyed our wine tasting trip with Dave Tours. Drew was a top bloke - very informative and friendly, which kept our journey both interesting and engaging. The air con bus was comfortable. The wines and food pairings were great and the locations were spectacular. I'd definitely book them again and recommend you take a trip with Drew/Dave. Also stuck to time well but never felt rushed :)

5.00Great time with Drew on this tour. People of all ages and nationalities on this tour and we blended so well. Wine was fabulous (some of the wines were very unique). The chocolate was very special and not common. Great way to spend your time in Australia.
