5.00It was very good. The driver was informative, service-minded and funny. The people at the wineries were also great. In my opinion, you get enough to eat and drink- maybe even too much, but that’s more of a luxury than a problem. :)
Good experience

5.00Very good sampling at three wineries in the Hunter Valley Region. Purchased probably the best Tawny (Port) I’ve ever had. Our driver Michael was excellent and entertaining. He took a short detour to provide us a view of a number of Kangaroos. Only con was a stop for some exotic gin, vodka and liqueurs. Would have preferred a stop at another winery.
A good day trip from Sydney

2.00The van seatings were very uncomfortable. We did not follow the itinerary that was described on the listing. The first place it was only really tiny sips. They did the cheese pared tasting right after we had lunch so no one could even eat the cheese. The distillery was place that’s available for free for public. Overall it’s not a good price for what you get.
Fantastic experience

5.00The tour guide is very good. All the activities are really well planned. Absolutely lovely day trip to Hunter. The mini bus is comfortable and the driver is so kind to stop half way for toilet and coffee break. I totally enjoy the whole trip and lunch is delicious and overlooking stunning vineyard valley view.
The best of Hunter Valley!

5.00The Hunter Valley is a beautiful area and has many wineries to chose from . Loved that this tour was a small and manageable group. Our tour went to 3 very good wineries for tastings and 1 vodka tasting. All were well presented. Good time had by all!
