Fun and exciting! Everyone was really friendly and it was an overall really great trip. We particularly enjoyed the chocolate and wine pairing.

The experience of the tour was great it was the miscommunication with viator that was horrible. Apparently there was no pickup available from our location never should have been offered per vendor! Vendor paid for our uber ride to a meeting spot & we paid the return to our hotel. We would like to request a refund of uber ride. Please contact me so I can send over uber receipt.

We had very generous pours from the winery’s. The chocolate and cheese pairings were great. The specific winery tour guides were very knowledgeable too. Unfortunately we did not get to go to one of the wineries listed (De Iuliis) I am not sure why this was. This was listed on the itinerary and we were looking forward to this place. We were not told why we didn’t go here. The driver is a driver only - no extra information provided about the area. He seemed to always be in a rush and was happy that he was getting an “early mark”. A great small group however and you can easily get to know people. In comparison to other winery tours we’ve done it is average for its price.

Wonderful driver and host friendly knowledgeable. Fantastic wine and distillery visits. Definitely worth it a great day out

Fun day exploring the Hunter. A beaut location best enjoyed by letting the guide take you great places- and letting the worry go of driving home after gorgeous wine

It was great being picked up by our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide Peter at our accommodation in Cessnock. Though there was a mix up with the first winery he quickly resolved the issue and a substitute winery was found. The choice of wineries was great. The distillery chosen was great and the presenter there was personable and engaging. Lunch was delicious. Peter was very understanding when we had to deal with a family medical emergency in another state during the tour. He also added an extra stop at a chocolate factory at the end. We were then deposited back at our accommodation at the end of a lovely day. The only disappointment was there wasn't more cheeses to be tasted but we think that was meant to happen at the missed winery who couldn't accommodate our tour that day.

Great day, visited a number of wineries and enjoyed the wine and cheese pairings offered at a couple of the stops.

Our favourite parts were the distillery and the cheese and wine tasting. Tom was an amazing host driver and would definitely recommend this company to anyone I know that are coming up towards the Hunter Valley. I wouldn't change a thing about this trip at all, the entire experience was great. We really enjoyed ourselves.
