Reviews
I absolutely loved this Hunter Valley wine tasting day tour! Although it was a bit pricey, I felt it offered a lot of value. The first stop was a winery where we tasted six different wines, including red, white, and sparkling. The second stop was for lunch, and we enjoyed various delicious pizzas, along with three types of gin. At the third stop, we sampled three kinds of cheese, paired with several red and white wines. The fourth stop was a chocolate shop, where we tried six different chocolates, each paired with a different wine. A special thank you to our tour guide and driver, Colin (I'm not sure if I spelled his name correctly), for leading us in such a comfortable manner. He gave us plenty of space to relax in the car without being overly talkative, and provided excellent guidance once we arrived at the estates. Thank you so much! I highly recommend this to my Taiwanese friends who are considering it. But be careful! You might actually get drunk. 😆
It’s a very beautiful journey! My boyfriend and I were from Taiwan. We can understand about English, but not that fluent. Our tour guide, Drew, really took good care of us. Other people were nice to us too! I love the chocolate so much. That’s too bad we can’t buy the chocolate away. Anyway! Find Drew is your best choice~ From Taiwan. 看到Klook上的評論,超級幸運!遇到很棒的導遊Drew, 很照顧我們!我們去了四站,紅酒白酒試喝、pizza+Gin、cheese和wine、巧克力和酒,一整路Drew照顧所有人,最後把我們載回Sydney~儘管大塞車,我們還是有平安抵達!非常推薦!
The tour guide is very friendly and can take care of different people. There are 10 people in the group. We are the only two Chinese and our English is not very fluent, but the tour guide is very patient and kind to take care of us. We went to 4 wineries, two of which had cheese and chocolate tastings. And for purchase, the red and white wines in the wineries are all very delicious. The last one is a winery that sells cocktails. It is worth joining this group for those who like wine. We are not very good at drinking, so we did not buy wine, but every winery The people were very friendly and willing to introduce information about different wines, and they were not forced to buy. In the end, we just bought some chocolates. All wineries only accept electronic payments. Even if you don’t drink, it is recommended to join this tour because the scenery of the winery is beautiful. It’s also easy to see a group of kangaroos resting
our guide Pinot was punctual, very energetic, friendly and provided detailed background with interesting stories . H tried to cater for the needs of all participants and brought us back to Sydney Central in time. The tour brought us to 4 different wineries out of which 2 were traditional wine tastings, 1 produced beautiful whiskies, vodkas and rums and another 1 offered wine pairing with delicious chocolates. I had steak as lunch. it was surprisingly not bad. To make the tour even more memorable, Pinot brought us to see Kangaroos. This tour is a must go for all liquor lovers. Highly recommended.
Tour guide: Our tour guide, Dave (or Drew), was enthusiastic throughout the trip, introducing us to the Hunter Valley and Sydney's city culture, and also took great care of us. Itinerary: We visited 4 wineries, spending 45 minutes to 1 hour at each winery. Afterwards, we would get on the bus to go to another winery, which allowed me to catch up on sleep on the bus before continuing to drink 😆. Each winery offered tastings of 4-6 types of red and white wine. This time, one winery in particular offered gin tasting, which was a new and special experience. The only drawback of the trip was that I thought I could experience the winemaking process; it would have been perfect if there was this element. Meals: A pizza meal is provided, where you can try different flavors. The two wineries we visited in the afternoon were paired with cheese and chocolate to accompany the red and white wine tastings, which tasted quite good. It's a pity that the chocolate was not for sale🤣. Drinks: You will try more than 20 types of red and white wine throughout the day. You will be slightly drunk after drinking the whole trip. If you are not a good drinker, don't force yourself🤣. Value for money: Overall, it is very worthwhile for everyone to go 🙆🏻♂️. If you love red and white wine, you can't miss this experience.
Our tour guide Chris was super friendly and knowledgeable! Tour covered a wine tour, gin + vodka tour, chocolate and cheese tour! Loads of alcohol served generously. Chris even brought us to take some quick photos with the kangaroo during sunset!
The wine was amazing and there was a guide to drive you from place to place which was very informative and practical for the purposes of drinking. The different wineries were mostly family owned and they were knowledgeable on their wines.
It was a super fun and nice experience with our tour guide Karen! I accidentally booked the wrong date and found out at the last minute; however, she still help us to check with another colleague and put Mom and I in another car🥺She was so nice, helpful, and friendly! Moreover, this tour is offered by a travel agency called Dave’s. You can taste so manny different kinds of wines, gins, and whiskey, and make your own notes. It’s easy to get drunk, so be careful! Last but not least, the view is sooo beautiful! Overall, this is a highly recommended itinerary that you shouldn’t miss it!
Our guide Colin was just great! A very reliable and kind coach. Everyone was being well taken care of during the entire tour. The tour at Mccaffrey’s Estate was a perfect experience. The host was very fun and friendly. We enjoyed it so much!
It was really awesome that we visited 3 wineries & 1 distillery with cheese and chocolate pairing. Love the organic winery and they have a lot of good quality wine. The overall experience was fun and relaxing. It was not rush at all. And lunch portion was big. We especially enjoyed the tour by Jackson, he is very patient and kind.
