5.00We had the best day on this tour, Nathan was fantastic and looked after us, this was my first wine tour and I would recommend the Newy tour co to anyone. We were also picked up and dropped off at our accommodation and every thing was taken care of.

5.00We had an amazing time with Keira as our guide. The group was kept small (8 people), which was amazing as it gave you great opportunity to get to know everyone. They picked out amazing spots to visit and were amazing with their communication leading up to the outing. Always responding fast, so if you have a question I'd definitely recommend just emailing them. You'll get a fast, clear and friendly answer.
Very enjoyable day.

5.00Excellent day wine tasting in the Hunter Valley with Kiera as guide. She was very friendly and welcoming and ran the tour professionally demonstrating a huge amount of knowledge of the area and the vineyards we visited. The tastings were generous and well presented in themselves. I was not as interested in the gin distillery personally and would prefer another vineyard but that's just my preference. All in all a great experience and great company.
Fantastic tour and guide

5.00Fantastic tour! Nathan was very informative and helpful especially as a local himself. All the locations he took us too were all different giving us a great sample of what the Hunter Valley can offer! Cannot recommend him enough! If your looking for a great tour Nathan should be you guide!
Wonderful Tour of the Hunter Valley

5.00We were lucky to have Keira all to ourselves for an all day tour of the Hunter Valley. It was great to have her pick us up right in front of the Rydges Newcastle so we didn’t have to worry at all about overindulging on delicious wines! Keira was a great conversationalist, and very knowledgeable on all things wine and the NSW area. Her selection of wineries, spirit and cheese shops were spot on, and each one was thoroughly enjoyable. If you’re ever in the Newcastle area, we highly recommend Newy Tours.
Fabulous wine, great historic legacies!

5.00This was a superb tour through the Hunter Valley guided by Keira, with visits to some amazing vineyards with a great history. The wine, the food and the weather were all fabulous! Kudos to Keira and her great work with the wine growers and all those involved in delivering such a professional Hunter Valley Experience! It was superb that this was organised from Newcastle .. the shorter journey to the Hunter Valley meant we had time to see more!
An Epic Day Out!

5.00We did a wine tour with NewyTourCo and by total luck, it ended up being just myself and my husband — so it felt like our own private tour! It was such a great way to explore the Hunter Valley without the stress of crowds or planning. Our guide, Kiera, was fantastic — super relaxed, knowledgeable, and just genuinely easy to get along with. She struck the perfect balance between giving us space to enjoy the experience and sharing great info about the region and the wineries. We visited a beautiful mix of places: Hungerford Hill - A must do experience, got swept up in all the shimmery flavoured vodkas, gin & liqueurs at Small Mouth Vodka (they’re as pretty as they are tasty) We wandered through Bonvilla Estate with breathtaking views, and ended with wine and chocolate pairings at Hunter Wine Lab — by a fire, with vineyard views. Absolutely dreamy. Lunch at 4 Pines The Farm was another highlight — great food, gorgeous setting, and came with a side of goat-feeding, alpaca drama, and donkey diplomacy — who knew the petting zoo would be so entertaining Can’t recommend NewyTourCo enough. Whether it’s a group or a lucky private tour like we had, it’s a fun, relaxed, and memorable day out. Cheers to that! 🍷🐐🔥
Fantastic

5.00Keira has taken us on a fantastic tour. We did several tastings, none of which felt rushed or pushed. We could really take the time to try everything. In addition, Keira knew a lot about the environment and the history of the special wine region. It was an unforgettable day with the perfect tour guide!
Good tour of Hunter Valley wineries

5.00Nathan took us on a splendid tour of some wineries representative of the many Hunter Valley wineries. We tasted a wide variety of wines, together with chocolate and olive oil, and also visited a distillery where we tried wide range of gins. It was a very enjoyable day.

5.00Fantastic day with Nathan from Newy Tour Company. Plenty of time at each of the spots - each winery & gin/vodka were very generous with their tastings & time. Winery with paired chocolate tasting was a great way to finish the day. Local company owned & operated by local couple - very professional.
