A fantastic day out with Pippa from Hunter Valley tours. We visited bespoke, boutique wineries and stopped for a delicious lunch. Pippa is a fabulous tour guide who is knowledgeable and very friendly. Highly recommended.

Nice company, fine wines, food and cheese. And we got to see live kangaroos on multiple occasions! All in a beautiful scenery. This was very much worth the money.

Julie set up a perfect day of wine tasting for us. She knew exactly when we needed food, when we were ready to move to the next winery, and her pick of wineries were a perfect fit for us.

We visited some lovely vineyards and the hosts were very welcoming. The wines were excellent. The driver (Bruce) was great and very relaxed. The lunch was a picnic and similar to the chees board morning snack, rather than the sample menu on the advert, which was disappointing.

Great experience. Our accommodation was 20km out of the Hunter but Julie was nice enough to organise a lift for us. All vineyards were great. Food was pretty awesome. Would gladly do it again! Thanks for the great birthday weekend

The bus driver Bruce was amazing. He was polite, kind and funny as well as he couldnt do enough for us even going out to get some pkts of chips as some of us hadnt eaten before the tour. The wineries were boutique specalist there was only one winery that were not pleasant and rude. Bruce was so apologetic. Otherwise a good day was had by all. Love the cheese and chocolate at the end of the tour.
