5.00The tour was amazing and we loved evry moment of it. Our tour guide and driver was Michael. He is very hilarious and cracks jokes and always laughing. We had lots of wine tastings and beautiful lunch which was included when we made the payment. The lady at the Hunter Valley Wine Theatres was so funny and hilarious, she made everyone laugh as she explained about different kinds of wine. Great tour!will be back.
Fantastic day , well worth the price!

5.00It’s a long tour but pick up was uneventful.. our driver/ guide Eddy was great.. he gave us a narrative history , gave us the opportunity of having comfort times ( washroom) as he called it .. The first winery was “ Irongate Estate” Cathy was the person who was our guide , she gave us the winery’s history , a tour of the cellar .. we had a tasting of a couple of wines but very small amounts, I may had.. then off we go to the Pokolbin , this winery offered us snacks and wine tasting which was much appreciated since we had not had our lunch yet, .. Lunch was delicious at the 4Pines Brewery at the farm.. the best wine tasting event was afterwords with Hannah, the tasting were abundant, the cheeses were good but she has so much energy and good sense of humour, I didn’t want to leave.. last , we went to Small Mouth Distillery to taste shimmering gin , vodka and liqueur….All and all , a fantastic day .. well worth the price !

5.00Visited 3 different tastings, one being a tour of the Sobel winery. GREAT lunch food at 4 Pines brewery along with wine & cheese pairing. Lunch had 10 different choices, all were great! Vodka & Gin tasting and then wine & chocolate tasting. Long bus ride but worth the travel! Michael did a great job with info, driving & keeping the timing.
Great trip

5.00Viator gave good instructions about the location of the pick up which was on time. Driver Sasha was great and the places visited were welcoming and very informative without going over the top. The meal provided was excellent value with plenty of gluten free options to suit my wife’s diet.
Great tour

5.00Tales, our driver was excellent, so accommodating, friendly, and engaging. The wineries were excellent, as well as the distillery. Lunch was quite tasty as were all the wines (especially Iron Gate), chocolates, and cheeses. We really enjoyed getting to know our fellow tour members! Thank you for such a great time!
