5.00We absolutely loved our wine tour that Tim took us on! We were the only ones booked in on the day so we felt very special! Loved all the 4 wineries we went to they all had something different to offer from the chatourie board, the mini gourmet pies, dumplings & then the handmade chocolates! We must say we loved the last one Hunter Wine Lab as we got to go behind the scenes and see all the blood sweat & tears that goes into producing the wine Nathan was fantastic at explaining it all to us!!! Would definitely do it again thanks Tim 10/10
