Well organised and efficient

Very good service, on time all day. Tim the driver was great, told us enough and gave good advice. We were allowed to keep our purchases on the bus which was great. The 1 hr stop was plenty for us at the wineries we chose to jump off at . Got either a tasting done or even grabbed lunch at 4 Pines which was super quick and good value.

Food & Wine Tour

We absolutely loved our wine tour that Tim took us on! We were the only ones booked in on the day so we felt very special! Loved all the 4 wineries we went to they all had something different to offer from the chatourie board, the mini gourmet pies, dumplings & then the handmade chocolates! We must say we loved the last one Hunter Wine Lab as we got to go behind the scenes and see all the blood sweat & tears that goes into producing the wine Nathan was fantastic at explaining it all to us!!! Would definitely do it again thanks Tim 10/10

An absolutely fabulous guide around the beautiful hunter valley

I went with my partner and another couple we are both close with. We had an excellent driver who was super accomodating, answered all our questions really well, and provided a fun atmosphere for our tour. The bus was super comfortable and the tour was able to be accommodated to our taste.
