Have experienced going to Hunter valley twice with Todd as I find him very reliable. We were able to workout an itinerary within 30 minutes as Todd is very quick to response to queries and knows and he really knows the area well. He was able to go above and beyond the tour. We enjoyed all of his suggested restaurants and wineries. We were well taken care off.
Our private winery tour for two was perfect! It We loved that Todd picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the end of the day. He is an excellent driver and drove a new vehicle. He was very familiar with the Hunter Valley and shared his knowledge. His choice of 4 wineries offered different presentations and great wine tastings. We had lunch at Enzo’s. Excellent food and a breath taking setting. Todd is your man if you want a perfect, private wine tour experience. If you are interested in tours other than wine, contact Todd.
Breakfast, 3 wineries and a sit down lunch. A pretty full day of excellent wineries and tastings. Todd was a great driver and host. He was most knowledgable. He chose excellent wineries for us and we had a most enjoyable day. Highly recommended. David and Kath
Great tour highly recommend. Todd was very engaged pre tour selecting the wineries that we would like and very accommodating on the day when we overran due to the great wines we were tasting! Would definitely go with Todd again on this or his other tours he offers. Thanks Todd!
Todd provided an exceptional Hunter Valley wine tour experience, tailored to our desire to visit specific, established vineyards. His proactive approach was fantastic; he contacted us well in advance to meticulously arrange our tasting reservations at Mount Pleasant, Audrey Wilkinson, Tyrrell's, and Hunter Distillery, as well as our lunch. On the day, he was right on time at our Sydney hotel, and his driving to the Hunter Valley was both professional and safe, taking just over two hours. This allowed us to relax and fully enjoy a wonderful wine tasting trip. If you value a known itinerary and excellent service, go with Todd.
What a beautiful day from start to finish. Great communication from the beginning, and Todd carefully organized our day in advance according to our desires for wine, vineyards , valley touring, and restaurant. With a well conceived itinerary , the day unfolded so well and was enjoyed immensely. We were so fortunate to travel with Todd that day in an area that he knows so well. Prior to the drive back to Sydney, we had a very memorable tasting at Mount Pleasant, which was far more than just pleasant. The somm there was a real character, and we felt so spoiled. Great conversation with the Somm and Todd, and before long we were knowingly well past our intended departure time. Todd adjusted his timetable without a moment of hesitation and our day concluded with laughter and great memories. Would love to have another day trip with Todd, whenever we should be so lucky as to return to Sydney.
Wonderful day of wine tasting and visit to the Hunter Valley, a day beautifully crafted and executed by Todd Craft (pun intended). Our experience was tailored to our particular interest in wines. We had an especially nice tasting at Mount Pleasant, and given the animation of our Somm there and great conversation that ensued, we were tardy in our departure with Todd. Todd adjusted his timetable and we had an extended tour, which he seemed only too happy to provide. He had great suggestions for a lovely lunch at Twine restaurant. Do yourself a favor and take this tour and make sure it is with Todd.
We had a great day out on Todd’s private tour, he was very friendly and knowledgeable . Gave us some choices of restaurants prior to going, Enzo was great. 4 great vineyards, went with family and friends, one of my favourite days visiting Sydney
Todd was absolutely amazing!! He got in touch right away to discuss my special requests for sparkling Shiraz, a distillery and vegan food options for lunch. He curated a phenomenal day with all of the above! Started at Peterson House for sparkling shiraz, (I joined the club) then off to Hanging Tree before lunch at Baume (delicious and vegan options) Afterward we went to Tower Distillery for some amazing whiskey and finished off with an amazing view at Audrey Wilkenson. He gave us amazing door to door service and was incredibly attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the region. His car was comfortable and clean and the experience was incredibly memorable. My friend was visiting me from the US, and it was a perfect way to end her trip. Would highly recommend! Thank you Todd!
