The best choice for a day in the Hunter Valley - Thank you so much for such a beautiful day. Nothing was too much trouble for this team, both over the phone and during the tour. We certainly received value for money and would not hesitate to recommend this tour to family and friends. All the tastings were very informative and we had the bonus of learning the history of Newcastle from a very knowledgeable local.

Amazing experience tailored to us - fabulous - This was the most exceptional wine tasting experience and we could not recommend NewyTourCo enough! We were picked up promptly by our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide Kiera. She was right on time outside our house; it was such an easy process. We kicked off the day at a beautiful Vineyard in the Hunter, Audrey Wilkinson, where the wines were delicious and had views to match. This was one of our favourite stops. From there we visited a variety of other vineyards, a distillery, lunch and a cheese tasting. The knowledgeable people at each place we visited gave us insight and history behind their products and we could feel the passion. I personally learned a lot about wine on this tour. Along the way we also saw Kangaroos which was the best bonus. The price we paid for the tour was such good value for money considering all costs involved with tastings, transport and the amazing experience NewyTourCo provided. The tour was tailored to us and Kiera made sure we were all looked after from our music playlist to blankets and water to providing excellent history and background on the area, and so much more. Our friends were a mixture of out of towners and locals and we all loved it. A must do tour!

Hunter Valley Wine tour with Newy Tour Co. - My wife and I booked our Hunter Valley wine tour with Newy Tour Co, through Tourist Office, Newcastle NSW. Our Hunter Valley wine tour with Newy Tour Co was a very enjoyable experience and this is a tour company we are happy to recommend. Keira from Newy, our driver and guide, was extremely knowledgeable and informative which added to our overall experience. Based on our Newy experience, from punctual pickup at our hotel to comfortable vehicle, driving skills, local knowledge and information, variety of wineries and other stops, we are very happy to recommend Newy Tour Co.
