Great Hunter Valley Wines - We had a fabulous day on the Hunter Valley Wine & Cheese tasting tour from Sydney. We arrived at Pitt Street right on time at 10 minutes before our scheduled pick up time to find Nigel already waiting with other members of the group. After a couple more pick ups we headed up the the Hunter Valley. We stopped at a motorway service for a “Dunnie” and coffee stop, another 50 minutes in the van and we arrived at Saddler's Creek Wines, where Pauline looked after us, well I have to say the wines totally surpassed my expectations!!! They were fabulous, ended up buying 3 stickies, 3 muscat, and getting wine sent home!! Can definitely recommend Pauline and Saddler's Creek Wines! Then back in the van and off to Hanging Tree Wines, for more fabulous wines, loved their sparkling Shiraz, great wine for a hot day, and it was a hot day, temperatures up to 32deg C, and muggy. Then we headed off for lunch, cheese tasting, chocolate tasting and one more winery, where we finally saw the Kangaroos 🦘 that Nigel was obsessing over 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Then long sleepy drive back to Sydney, Nigel dropped us off closer to our hotel than out pickup which was amazing as we had extra bags to carry, wines of course 🤣🤣🤣 All in all a great day out

Visit Hunter Valley with Degu - We were a small group of 6 people. Geoff our driver and travel companion did a great job!!! He gave us lots of tips for our stay in Sydney and had some exciting to tell us. We had a great, great day. Also the wineries visited were great they were rather smaller wine merchants. We were also able to visit a small chocolate factory as we had enough time because our group was so small. Highly recommended excursion👍

Hunter Valley Wine tour - A very good tour with a knowledgeable guide. Ben told us a lot about the history of the area as we travelled through which made it much more than just a wine tour. Well timed and did not feel rushed. A great way to see Hunter Valley and get a taste of the wine. Loved it!

Hunter Valley Experience - A must do activity when in Sydney. It was a pleasant trip to the Hunter Valley which was around a 2 hour drive. We visited 3 vineyards, a cheese factory, and a chocolate shop. Each location had its own specialties and every one of them was equally accommodating. Tour included lunch at a golf & country club which was good. Nigel our tour guide was also very good and a pleasant fellow to be with. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and definitely a fun one :)

Definitely recommend even if you don’t like wine (like me) - Loved this tour! Very well organised. Our guide Nigel was funny and informative. We went to three very different wineries, and had three very different experiences. The food was good. The cheese was delicious and the company was fun.

Review - The last vineyard provided the most info, the food at the golf course took too long to arrive, the weather was perfect, a plug in for IPhone to recharge would be good, beverages and snacks on the bus would be good. Tour guide could have talked more about the scenery and history - music on the bus was good, seats were comfortable, temperature on the bus was good.
