ハンターバレーオールインクルーシブ、ワイン、チョコレートテイスティング、ランチ

What an exceptional experience! Thank you for the great service. We really enjoyed this wine tour and definitely recommend it.

This was advertised as visiting 3 wineries. We only visited 2 and then tasted poor wine at a brewery. Not what we signed up for! Alan was 30 minutes late from pickup so everything was rushed, even at the good winery. Disappointing.

We had an excellent tour and would recommend it. Irene was an excellent tour guide. at Sobels vinyard and the guy was very interesting, explaining the process of fermenting and bottling wine. Plenty of sampling. Then off for an excellent lunch at 4 Pines and more wine tasting. Then chocolate tasting and Drayton's vineyard.

Well organised tour with a good lunch provided with an Attentive and knowledgeable tour guide .

Started the day with friendly greeting by Gab our host for the day on our Darling Harbour pickup. After the other people were onboard we made of to the Hunter Valley stopping at a services en route. Our first vineyard was Sobels where Dave gave us a great talk on Wine making before our tasting commenced. On the whole, very nice wines and great variety. We moved onto Four Pines for lunch and more tasting. Loved the sparkling Rose. Our last Vineyard was at Draytons. The final stop was at Hunter Valley Chocolate. Mmmm. On our way back, Gab stopped and pointed out some wild roos. Wow. Overall an excellent day no matter what the weather and a big shout out to our host and driver Gab. Thank you.

The pick up address for the Four Seasons Hotel is wrong. The actual pickup location is on an entirely different street than the listed address. The wineries visited are at best mediocre. With all the wineries in the Hunter Valley it would not be difficult to select wineries with a much better quality of wines. The lunch was good, much better than the wine tasting at that winery. I would not go on this trip again.

It was our very first wine tour experience, and we’re truly happy and grateful that we got to enjoy it with Sightseeing Tours Australia. 🍷✨

If you have an experienced wine pallet the wineries on this tour offer mostly sweet wines. We did not find any wines that we wanted to purchase. Most disappointing was the winery that presented a blue wine (artificial coloring added) Sobels winery had some lovely fortified (ports) wines. The driver / tour guide was excellent, bus was clean. If you prefer (jungle juice) sweet tart wines the wineries on this tour are for you.

We were very excited for this experience. We were given a pick up time of 7:20 and by 7:35 when the bus had not arrived yet, I called the tour provider, who advised they were held up and stuck in traffic and would be there for pick up in 10 minutes. I had to make another phone call at 7:50 as the driver had still not shown up. Finally, at 7:53 the driver arrived, almost 35 minutes late, so this started the day out on quite a sour note. After speaking to fellow patrons, the pick ups were late at every stop by at least 30 minutes. First winery, Sobel's was amazing with a wonderful wine tasting and very interesting history of the winery. We were obviously late to the second winery 4 Pines at the Farm, as we sat straight down to lunch and although we had a wine tasting, it was at our table and felt rushed. The next stop advertised on the itinerary is Hunter Valley Gardens. We did not go here even though part of the cost covered entry to here. The item says "take a break and explore Hunter Valley Gardens Village" and there was supposed to be 45 minutes allocated to this. We were taken to Pepper Creek Village instead, which has very little there, and were given just 20 minutes there (but this wasn't needed - it has 1 shop and a restaurant). When t he driver was asked about going to HVG he gave 3 different excuses other than it was cut because he was 35 minutes late and had to make up the time. The final winery was again good and we had a range of products to sample. Our final shop was the Peterson's Chocolate shop which had some great things on offer but was a little on the expensive side. I later contacted the tour company regarding these above issues, particularly not visiting the Hunter Valley Gardens as I had chosen this tour due to the visit there, and I was told I would be given a call back. I instead received a message via Viator suggesting I had misunderstood the itinerary. I knew it was to the HVG Village but we did not go there and they did not seem to acknowledge this. Also noted was that there were internet issues that delayed the pick up time, which was different from what I was told when I had called. They acknowledged that patrons had lost time on the tour due to their mistake. Again, a simple message sent out to patron advising at the time would have been appropriate rather than several patrons having to call to find out what was happening. I have asked for a partial refund for the entry to HVG, which the experience notes is part of the full cost, as we did not attend there. I am yet to hear back from them a week later. have given 2 stars for the wine tasting and the lunch which was really good. The other 3 stars have been lost due to the late pick up and patrons losing time based on that, the non visit to HVG Village and finally due to the poor response from the operator.

The wineries were good with knowledgeable people. The wines were a good selection. However, the hosts were silent during most of the journey and they could’ve been better at talking about the countryside we were traveling through and even told us about the history of Hunter Valley.
