Terrific Day in Hunter Valley

5.00You'll enjoy a full day in Hunter Valley visiting several tasting rooms and pairing local wines with cheese and chocolates. Michael, our driver/quide was quite knowledgeable and friendly. You may need to pace yourself - I think we tried 15 wines and 8 spirits! Nice to leave the driving to someone else! Lunch was also quite delicious.
Great tour and kangaroos too

5.00Fun wine tasting tour. Well planned and paced so you see a number of wineries but aren’t left drunk. The wines were all good but I wouldn’t necessarily rate as stellar for my taste. We still had a blast. Great tour and an extra kangaroo sighting made it a must do.’
Excellent experience!!...

Wine fine, spirits disappointing

4.00The wine tasting was good. One group spokeswoman could have used an audio amp or whisperer system. The cheese and chocolate pairing was enlightening and tasty. The trip should have stopped with the wine however we went on and had a spirit visit whic I noticed the lack of enthusiasm by the group. I would cut that stop out save time to get back before 645pm as well as save some cost. I felt that was a waste of time. The driver, Mike, was really friendly and accommodating for all ages on the excursion.
Great day wine tasting !
