Great Tour and amazing people - My wife and I had such a great afternoon as we visited a few of the winery's but all were just fantastic. Felicity our guid was such an amazing person and really friendly, she was able to interact with all the guests yet get us to our locations on time and very knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend this tour and guid (especially the afternoon one) as you get amazing sunset colours of the Hunter. If you have a few hrs to spare then this is the tour for you.

A tour with Christie - 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 👏

Worry free enjoyable wine, cheese and chocolate tasting. - 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!
