Hunter Valley wine country

Small group of novice wine drinkers. One winery was a little too serious for our taste but overall a very interesting day. The driver/tour guide was a mine of information and quite amusing.

Hunter Valley boutique wineries

Fantastic tour to 4 wineries. Included a hearty lunch of pizza & salad. All wine tastings and some pairings with cheese and chocolate were included. We really enjoyed the variety of boutique wineries we visited. It’s a full day 11-12 hours due to drive distance from Sydney … glad we went. Also saw Kangaroos in the wild, so that was a bonus! Drew was an excellent laid back guide for the day. Highly recommend!

Memorable trip to Hunter Valley

We had an excellent day with Drew the tour guide and Dave’s Tours visiting the incredible Hunter Valley wine region. Drew was an excellent host, giving us a rich and detailed history of not only the region but of Australia. He looked after us the whole day and ensured our experience was as enjoyable as possible. The 4 vineyards we visited were each unique and different but equally spectacular and all the wines tasted were enjoyable and of high quality. We highly recommend this tour for a small, tailored, special trip to Hunter Valley.
