Things to do in Pokolbin

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.

Chen absolutely deserves all the praise in the world – he truly was the most shining star of our trip! Seriously, Chen is hands down the BEST tourist/guide/friend/stranger-who-saves-the-day we have ever met! When we unfortunately lost our bag, we panicked and had no idea what to do. As a result, Chen immediately joined the search and rescue mission. With his meticulousness, calmness, and super sense of direction, he took us around every corner of Hunt Valley, and in the end, he actually helped us find the bag that almost ruined our entire vacation! At that moment, we were almost moved to tears. Without him, we might have spent several times the time and effort, or even not been able to find it at all. Not only that, Chen and Frank together arranged the perfect day for us. They took us to some of the most worthwhile places to visit in Hunt Valley, ate amazing local food, saw incredibly beautiful scenery, and shared many interesting stories and secret spots that only locals know about. Throughout the whole process, they were super patient, humorous, and thoughtful, allowing us to instantly switch from the morning's chaos to a happy mode where we couldn't stop smiling all day. Truly, "delighted our day" doesn't even begin to describe the feeling of being so well taken care of! Honestly, a simple "thank you" is not enough to express our feelings. The appearance of Chen and Frank upgraded this trip to Hunt Valley from an ordinary trip to the most unforgettable and heartwarming day of our lives. If you are planning to come to Hunt Valley and want a safe and super happy experience, I can very, very seriously tell you: find Chen, it is definitely your most correct and worthwhile choice! He doesn't just show you around, he really puts his heart into it, making every guest feel special. Chen, you are really amazing! Thank you for making this day so perfect, thank you for showing us what true "extremely awesome hospitality" is all about! Next time we come to Hunt Valley, you will be the first person we want to find! ❤️✨

The whole process was happy and enjoyable! As soon as we stepped into Maran, the horses actually came up to us automatically, which was very interesting! The staff's simple instructions allowed us to quickly control the horses, and all the horses were very clean! Worth recommending.

Even though my flight was delayed and I arrived late, I was able to join another group thanks to the arrangements made, and I had a great time! I really enjoyed tasting the variety of wines. I also took some great photos with the beautiful scenery :)

All the wineries were fantastic, we particularly enjoyed our time at the hanging tree wines, it was a shame that we didn’t get to see any kangaroos, probably because of the weather or our time of visit. overall the tour itself was great, however it was a very long drive from Sydney, at least 2 hours.

Initially, I was a bit hesitant because it wasn't cheap, but honestly, everything was amazing. From the check-in preparation to the actual flight, spending over an hour up high, to the safe landing and the awesome breakfast afterward. This is definitely an experience worth trying if you have the chance to visit Hunter Valley.

The entire trip was very comfortably arranged, making for a worthwhile flight experience. The stunning scenery and the feeling of dawn were incredible. Looking down from two thousand feet, the whole world seemed to shrink, like an interesting model made of building blocks. I'm so glad we had good weather and am very happy about the experience.

Jimmy is amazing! He’s not only our tour guide but also our driver and chef. The food and wine were incredible—truly a perfect wine-tasting experience!

Personally, I think this is a must-do tour in Australia. Just do it... Please go do it 🙏🙏🙏. The tour is packed with great things like two wineries, lunch, and cheese tasting, so the time really flew by. The biggest reason it felt even more special was definitely thanks to the guide... It wasn't just that they were explaining things, but I could feel their genuine desire to make sure we enjoyed our time. They took care of every detail, and they let us taste a wider variety of wines. It's informative because even someone on their first winery tour can learn about wine in a fun and relaxed way. I think today will stay with me as a good memory for a long time. Thank you so much, and it's a tour I definitely want to participate in again. Sigh, I loved Hunter Valley so much I wanted to live there.
