Wonderful, joy, fun and enjoyable wine tours. The guide is on time, give a clear introduction, direction and nice. The winery GM introduce how the wine been made, introduce 7 kind of wine and give comments what kind of food drink with what kind of wine. The lunch is great with free wine, beer or juices. Went to spirit alcohol to try Gin and vodka. The most impressive is the expresso gin, earl grey tea vodka and chocolate vodka. Went cheese and wine tasting that cheese is very nice that drink with the wine is prefect. The last stop go do wine tasting with pairing with chocolate. The wine lady is so fun, joyful and lovely has introduce wine include the wine culture and kind of chocolate to pair with. Is happy and lovely tours.

The wine tours were informative and very enjoyable. The iron gates winery tour was the first and the staff and wine were very good. Gavin our host there was very passionate about his job and the wine was excellent. The next stop was a gin and vodka distillery, got to be honest, for us this was a bit naff. The staff were on script and it was clear this was the selling stop. Didn't quite fit with a hunter valley wine tour. We ate at the 4 pines winery and the food was very nice. This was followed by a cheese and wine combo. Some amazing cheeses and good wine as well. But the star of the show was Hannah. She was very entertaining and just like Gavin earlier really knew her stuff. Last stop was a wine and chocolate stop. For us this was a learning experience, when we thought about it after it made sense but pairing wine with the different sorts of chocolate to adjust the taste of the wine to your preference. All in all recommended, but I would say it's a long 11 to 12 hour day from Sydney. Got to add, our driver Peter was also very good, helpful and also knowledgeable.
We all had a great time. ...

We all had a great time. Our driver was great. I didn't give a 5 star because the seating on the vehicle was horrible. The seats had no leg room so we were stuffed in like sardines!
