My best Sydney trip - A truly great day and the tour guide (known as "the other Steve") was both friendly and informative. He made us all feel very relaxed when I got on theminibus bus and within 5 mins we all felt as if we'd known each other for years. A fantastic trip!!!

For wine enthusiasts Hunter Valley makes amazing wine, a must do while in Sydney! - Enjoyed the scenic drive from Sydney to Hunter Valley and Chris was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and most of all FUN! The family owned wineries on our tour were beautiful and every glass of wine I sampled was delicious, my fav was the Prosecco and Chardonnay from Oakvale winery and all organic! The pizza and salad lunch was tasty at Binbadgen. Could have done without the gin and vodka tasting at the end of the tour and replaced it with another winery, just a thought! Our group was a fun bunch made the experience more enjoyable! Thanks Chris for stopping the van so I could take a picture of the kangaroos, you made the day complete! 🦘 💜😊

Excellent Tour - Excellent experience overall. Tour group was led by Mr Colin who was very professional and knowledgeable. He shared briefly on the history of hunter valley, the wine industry in Australia and the wine making process as well. He also spotted kangaroos for us for photo opportunities. Visited 3 Wineries for tasting (1 with cheese, 1 with chocolates and 1 just on its own), 1 Winery for lunch (wood fired pizzas) and 1 Distillery (Gins, Vodkas and Liqueurs). 1) Oakvale (Cheese) 2) Bimbadgen (Lunch) 3) Hunter's Dream Estate 4) Hunter Wine Lab (Chocolate) 5) Small Mouth Very pleasant experience at all of the locations. The drinks were great. Lunch at Bimbadgen was good too. Well worth the money as the trip includes the ride from Sydney to Hunter Valley and back. Highly recommend for those who like wines but not familiar with the area.

Great guide - Marco our guide was great. Even brought us to see some kangaroos within the vineyards. We had a blast. Wish some of the winetasting took place outdoors to take advantage of the good weather though

A top trip to wine paradise! - Had the best time. It was pouring with rain all day but Col, our driver and guide, made it fun and interesting. Tasted some fab wines, along with divine pizzas, craft chocolate, interesting cheeses and a selection of colourful spirits. I was dreading the long drive but it was all good. Highly recommended.
