Great experience! - Thanks to Marco our great Italian guide who spoke French, supported us for almost 12 hours. We were 4 excited girls on vacation without children and without a husband, poor Marco 🤣🤣 he was at the top. The excursion, wine tasting, vodka, gin and liqueur were perfect. Many thanks Marco 😄😉 PS: remember to have breakfast in the morning otherwise at 11am you are drunk

Fab day. - I was a solo traveller but was with a great group of people - the whole minibus really bonded. Erin was a fab guide. Loved tge wine tasting - the hosts were all very different. The first two winery hosts were very informative about their wines and their winery - the third one not so much but he was highly entertaining!!!! If and when you go you will see what I mean. A great day out - would highly recommend.

Great way to spend an extra day in Sydney - This tour was so fun. Our guide, Erin, was informative, friendly and kept us on schedule 😜. There were 11 people in our group, which was perfect. We had a great day sampling regional wines, cheese, chocolate and gin from the small, family run wineries in Hunter Valley. If you have a free day in Sydney, I highly recommend this trip.

Winery tour - Great wineries selected. Loved that each winery had a different tasting setup as in some did wine and cheese, another did chocolate and cheese. The tour guide Ashley was great she was very knowledgeable on the region and Australia overall Great tour

Great day out well worth it! - Wonderful day out our coach driver/ tour guide Brendan was very friendly, helpful (we got our dates mixed up and Brendan kindly sorted it out for us…thank you so much) and informative. The wineries were all a little different in what they offered and it was really nice to go to some of the less commercial establishments. Had a wonderful day and got to know some wonderful travellers. Great day had by all. Thank you so much!

Good tour. - The tour guide was knowledgeable, and the wine tasting was a nice experience. No separate chocolate or cheese workshop visits though one tasting had pairing cheese and another one with pairing chocolate. The gin and vodka place was great.

Did not work for me. - I was not impressed with the van used . It was super uncomfortable . Very bumpy and bone crunchingly rough and packed . The tour itself was ok but not amazing . There was no real tour guide as we were just driven to the spots . The vineyards visited did not excite . Wines not great . Lunch was dismal as only pizzas offered . Not enough given as I’m not comfortable with ppl handling my food and with the pizzas just being left on the table there were a lot of handling so i went hungry . No option offered if u didn’t want more wine with lunch .no soft drinks or juices offered .or even coffee. Check in with tour wasnt friendly either . Might’ve been better , cheaper , more choices if u hired a car and drove urself . Saw many cool places that we didn’t go to but I understand that only the vineyards the tour company has a deal with we’re the ones visited . Greet area to visit but do it on ur own . Unfair to pack ppl into a very tight van coz u got more bookings than expected .,the ones in the bigger bus had a better space I guess . Im being generous with the 3 stars.

Would not recomnend - The actual wineries were great. The bus ride was not pleasant. Took 3 hours from Sydney Darling Harbour to get to wineries. Driver/tour guide (Patricia)appeared to be an inexperienced driver, especially around the city. At times was rude to some patrons. Knowledge seemed to be somewhat lacking as well.
