Great day out with amazing wines - A great day out to the hunter valleys for some amazing wine and food. The 3 cellar doors were wonderful with great hosts and amazing wines to try. Some included cheese and chocolate to pair with the wines. At the end we went to a distillery which sold a lot of ‘sparkling’ gins/vodka's/liqueurs, I wasn’t a fan of these personally, I was there for the wine but either way an amazing day. Our driver Glen, was a lovely guy and really looked after us all. Thank you

Amazing experience! - We took this tour on a rainy and windy day…and it didn’t matter. Our tour guide Erin curated a wonderful experience for all of us..including a slight detour to let us see a group of kangaroos in the wild! The wineries we visited were small family owned businesses who are passionate about their product and the process of making it. This is a must do for anyone visiting the region, and ask for Erin!

Highly recommend for a great day out! - This was the highlight of our holiday in Sydney. 16 of us (all but two from overseas) were led by Chris who was a fantastic and kind guide, driver, pizza waiter and kangaroo spotter. His commentary was really interesting and fun, and there was just enough of it. Our first stop was at Oakvale Estate where Chris explained the wine making process ahead of an extensive tasting outside. Next up was Bimbadgen for a delicious pizza lunch and wine. We then split in two groups - one going to McCaffrey's Estate for tasting accompanied by cheese, one to Wine Lab for a tasting with chocolate; then the groups reversed. We finished with a trip to Small Mouth for gin and vodka tasting. We felt this stop added little value to the trip and it felt very rushed. All in all this was a wonderful introduction to the Hunter.

Day in Hunter Valley - Colin is very knowledgeable about wines. Selection of wineries is excellent — larger winery to start and small boutique wineries to end, and a chance to talk with the wine makers. Kangaroos in the vineyards were an added bonus.

Wine tour! - The second spot of the tour at Hunter Wine Lab was my favourite! The pairing of chocolates/ cheese with the wine was awesome! Only thing I was disappointed with was when I booked the tour for my birthday and nothing was done to show/celebrate my birthday!
