Christie was our tour guide for the day. She allowed us to plan our day and suggested ideas and locations to suit our requirements. She dropped us off and gave us time to enjoy the location before returning at a suitable time. Always punctual, we managed to fit in wine tasting, beer tasting, cheese and wine/beer tasting, a gin factory with lunch somewhere in the middle. Christie successfully went out of her way to look for some wild kangaroos. Excellent experience 👏

Our tour guide, Felicity was the best. Felicity was funny and professional, proactive and flexible, informative and helpful. The distillery was delicious as was Blueberry Hill and Hunter Lab Wineries. We had cheese and chocolate pairing with our wines, what could be better? Felicity picked us up at the places where we were staying which made the whole afternoon relaxing and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour!

My wife and I went on this tour to celebrate our anniversary We had such a great time visiting 3 venues and had the opportunity to capture a sunset tour group photo. We joined another group in the tour and the tour group size was 11 people. On the way to the first venue, the group learned about the history of the Hunter Valley. The first stop was the Pokolbin Distillery which offered tastings of Gin, Vodka and Liqueur made from local ingredients. The barman provided loads of advice on how to use these spirits to make cocktails and other alcoholic beverages. The second venue, Blueberry Hill provided many local cheeses and wines. We were given a lesson in matching cheeses with right wines. The last venue Food and wine lab had excellent pale ale beer and a unique range of chocolates which tasted amazing with some of the local wines. Before the end of the tour, there was time to capture some scenic group photos. Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour and experience.
