The 2 wineries we visited before lunch were excellent as was the distillery (after lunch which was at 4 Pines Brewery and was delicious). I only rated this as a 4 however as the bus was very cramped/uncomfortable for such a long trip. Also, there was a wine/cheese tasting directly following the lunch at the brewery so no one was hungry at that point. It would have been nice to spend extra time at the first 2 wineries to walk around and get photos but it was very rushed.

Mike was great coordinating our day. He ensured lunch was ordered and prepared for our arrival after the first 2 wine tastings. The pace was excellent with to enjoy each tasting and not feel rushed. Be prepared for a long day. With travel from Sydney and back the day was 11 hours, but the experience was well worth the time.

Our guide Mark was very friendly & professional. He kept our group on track. Mandy at Iron Gate was an amazing guide & Hannah at Pokolbin was so knowledgeable & funny. Lunch was great, didn’t need the last bit of the tour at the distillery, not my thing.
Great value for money & a good way to see the valley.

Got to taste a wide variety of wine and our tour guide Michael was great at adapting to when we were slow and when we were quick at each venue. Lunch included vegan options.
A boisterous group on the bus was a bit much so early in the morning but made for a fun day.
There are USB chargers next to the seats so you can charge up while on the bus. A hat and water bottle are a must.

The day was off to a poor start as the number of people on the tour was 20 instead of the no more than 14 promised. The seats and leg space of the vehicle that took us out to the Hunter Valley was similar to the space in a budget airline and was not the luxury vehicle that was promoted by the description. For us, the winery picks were not what we were hoping for but the wines were all of good quality. The hosts at all of the wineries were friendly and knowledgeable. The wineries that had food pairings (either cheese or chocolate) were very good. Unfortunately, the wine and cheese pairing was directly after lunch when we were full. It would have been nice to have that pairing before lunch because we were offered some of the wines at lunch (which was at the same venue).

We had a lovely day (my husband and I and 2 other couples) on our full day Hunter Valley Wine Tasting Tour. It was exactly what we were looking for. Chris, our driver/ guide, was incredibly professional and personable. He took great care of us, I felt very safe, and he ensured all went smoothly and that we kept on schedule. Great tasting opportunities and a really yummy lunch! Thanks so much!

We thoroughly enjoyed our small group trip for wine tasting in the Hunter Valley. Michael, the tour guide was not only knowledgeable but so kind and extremely helpful. Driving up to the Hunter Valley the scenery was lovely and the four spots we stopped each had a slightly different flavour in presentation and wines. The distillery was a nice change and allowed each of us 6 flavors of our choice. Lunch was good. Give this tour a try.well worth it!

Overall, the wine tasting trip was very good and good value for money. We went to 3 wineries and one gin/vodka tasting venue. We also had a cheese and chocolate pairing which was great. All of the tour guides were very knowledgeable and good at their jobs. We learnt a lot and had some great wine. We also bought a very nice wine for only $30. The bus there was comfortable and the driver gave us some fun facts about Sydney/Hunter Valley on route. The only downside for us personally, was the lunch. You did get a glass of wine or beer with it but the food was insanely bog standard. I could make much better at home. But we mainly went for the wine, so didn't really fault our experience much. Would still definitely recommend
