The tour was amazing. Our driver/ guide, Felicity was so knowledgeable, accommodating and just an awesome person. We were taken to great wineries and a distillery and had a fabulous day. Would absolutely book with them again for our next Hunter Valley visit.

My friends and I had a fabulous morning touring the Hunter Valley. Our driver, Tim, picked us up from our accommodation before ferrying us to 2 wineries and a distillery. He was friendly and informative, and did everything to help make our morning memorable. He took care of any purchases for us and labelled them with our names for collection at the end of the tour. We chose to be dropped off at an Irish pub where we had a booking for lunch. We would highly recommend Tim and his team for anyone wanting to explore the Hunter.

Great tour. Great variety. Great value. Tim was the perfect host. He even added an extra stop for us to try some lovely local chocolates. Really enjoyed each place we visited.

We did the morning tour with a mystery tasting in the middle. The selection of wineries was excellent, the service of our driver Graham was outstanding. He went out of his way to be helpful. The mystery tasting was a challenge and included a delicious shared platter. You could not ask for a better way to start the day.
