Amazing tour and wine tastings. Was picked up in Sydney CBD, and smooth drive to hunter valley region. We were able to go to 4 locations, all boutique wineries with multiple tastings at each location. Great value for money. Aiden at Oakvale, Declan at Mcaffreys, Nathan at Winelab, and Bimidgen for lunch, wine and gin tasting. Lunch was great - wood fire pizza overlooking the winery - a beautiful, picturesque location with kangaroos amongst the rows that we could watch and take photos. Our tour guide Dave was awesome, informative, and a lot of fun. He made the longer drive to the region enjoyable. Highly recommend!!
Really great day touring the Hunter Valley. Wine, fine, stop for lunch - everything was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this tour!! Drew was a fanatic guide!
Fabulous tour, great wineries, and excellent guide
Great tour with Dave's Tours. Colin was our guide and he was very communicative and informative. Our group of 19 all got on well, so we had good fun in each of the wineries, learning about our travel mates and tasting wines, cheeses, chocolates, gins. The lunch offered plentiful pizza, salad, and wines. We were picked up around 10.30 (others had travelled from Sydney so a very early start for them), and we were dropped off first as we were local to Hunter Valley. Was a fun day and nice to be chauffeured around 👍.
Had an excellent time. Pick up was prompt and easy and bus was very comfortable. Dave was a great guide and very friendly and open. The group was great and despite a full bus, had plenty of room. All the wineries were great and lunch was delicious. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a day trip to Hunter Valley.
One of the best small tours we’ve done. Our tour guide Drew was so friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. His background working for the UN and UNICEF was very moving and goes to the nature of him. The places we visited were first class. The bus was new, clean and cool on 40 degree day. Thankyou so much Dave’s tours. Can’t recommend you highly enough
Hi there, Thanks so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the Small Group Hunter Valley Wine Tour and that Drew made such a lasting impression. It’s great to hear the wineries, comfort of the bus (especially on a hot day!), and overall experience hit the mark. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again in wine country. From vine to glass, The Daves
Nice day. 150 minute drive to Hunter Valley. Each of the 4 wineries we visited gave us a significant amount of wine. The whole group was very “happy”. Very comfortable transportation.
Thanks for the review Andy! We’re glad you enjoyed the Small Group Hunter Valley Wine Tour — plenty of generous tastings, a happy group, and comfortable transport makes for a great day out, even with the longer drive. Until the next pour, The Daves
Lots of fun. A nice group of people and a relaxed pace. Chris did a great job. Lunch was very nice..
G'Day Dave!, Thanks for the review! We’re glad you had lots of fun on the Small Group Hunter Valley Wine Tour and that the relaxed pace, great group, and lunch all hit the spot. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Chris. Sip well, The Daves
We left from Sydney so drive there was about 2 hours but countryside was varied and fun to see. Our driver, Colin, was great. Knowledgeable, helpful and a good driver! Wineries were well-prepared for us and helpful. We enjoyed the wines, the lunch, the visit and tastings at the distillery as well as unusual wine chocolate pairings!
Thanks for the lovely review! Great to hear you enjoyed the stops, the food and wine, and that Colin made the day such a good one. Cheers, Ben
Was a great tour with super food, would recommend 👌 it to everyone . The wine was OK but the gin and vodka was the best tasting of the day...
Thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed the food and found a favourite with the gin and vodka tastings. Cheers, Ellen
