My family and I went on this day tour and it was an enjoyable experience. Chen, our driver, was punctual picking us up from the designated hotel and was courteous and friendly. His assistant Frank was helpful with translation and attending to our requests. The 2 wineries we went, Audrey Wilkinson and Mountain Pleasant gave us a good range of white and red wine for tasting, and the ambience was nice. 2-course lunch was good with salad and burger or pasta. Wine was also offered at lunch. The ride to and from Hunter Valley was smooth and comfortable in a coach bus. Chen was a good driver. Yes, we would recommend this trip.
Chen good. Must go with him. Zz
