What a great introduction to Sydney on our first day. Collin made this a truly memorable experience for everyone onboard. Our pick up process was seamless. Although GetYourGuide doesn’t provide the option, be aware there is another pick up location located near Circular Quay. The drive to Hunter Valley was picturesque and not extremely long. Coll did a great job pointing out important landmarks and assisting us with looking for wild kangaroos. All of the vineyards were distinct and special in their own way. Although we were trying similar wines they all have their own twist that set them apart. They all made each of our experiences special from the cheese, chocolate, to getting a hands on experience on what the fermentation process looks like. Overall I would highly recommend this tour. It’s a good way of becoming familiar with the variety of wine, terrains, and experiences that Australia has to offer for a great value.

This Hunter Valley Wine Tour was catered to a small group and offered many different wine pairings with cheese and chocolates. We also stopped at a distillery and tasted a variety of liquors. Our guide was friendly, but there were some topics where you could tell he was not as knowledgeable in. Also please note that quite a bit of time is spent on transport to and from the region. Overall it was a fun experience and I would recommend it to anyone who has never been to the Hunter Valley region before. Be sure to bring sunscreen and possibly snacks if you get hungry (we stop at a gas station on the way to and back from Hunter Valley so you can get sustenance at that time as well).

Tour was amazing! With a variety of stops and an awesome tour guide like Dave (Greg) the tour was perfect! Would 100% do it again. Only thing is maybe would’ve brought water for the bus ride. Other then that the service at each stop, as well as with Greg having cooler etc for our wine & goods it was great!!
