Not for everyone.

If you're under the age of 25 and looking to party or middle-aged and looking to relive the glory days on a slightly trashy booze cruise, complete with loud music and all the works, this is the wine tour for you.
If you're coming from Sydney and looking to have a relaxing time exploring the best wine and food the Hunter Valley has to offer at a reasonable price point, you're better off heading directly to Tulloch Wines. Highly recommend trying their wine and chocolate pairing and cheese boards; all of the wine and chocolate we had there was excellent, and they use some amazing local cheeses in their cheeseboard. The late pickex Semillon dessert wine at De Iuliis was also uniquely delicious.
A COVID safety note: only my partner and I (2 out of 13 people, including the driver) followed COVID safety protocols on the bus. No one else did, which may be something else to consider before booking this wine tour.
I would honestly rate this tour a 0.5 stars out of 5 if it wasn't for how amazing the wine and food at Tulloch was.
Response from Host , Jan 2022
Hi Karin, thanks for the review. Our experience is all about visiting premium venues, learning something new, and creating a fun day out. In the 11 hour duration of the tour from Sydney there were two 5 minute periods between venues when the driver played some fun tunes as requested by the other guests. We follow NSW Health guidelines (which differ from the state you're from) and we feel we got the balance right in delivering what is a public tour with people from all walks of life.
Hunter valley fun

Quite a long day and a fair way from Sydney but all very enjoyable. Our driver and guide, Chris, was very friendly and told us much about the wine area and it’s history.
Excellent value and fun day

The tour itself was great 5 stars, but I took one away for the bus. The seats were small and uncomfortable and no wifi on the bus. The actual stuff we got to do on the tour was great and we had a fun time despite the rain. Colin was our driver for the day and he was super nice and fun. We found this tour to be a good value for the money and probably the best thing we could have done on a rainy day. We even got to see a few wild kangaroos!
Fantastic

Great tour, Gaz was our driver/guide who was just great, funny and had a great way of giving us some historical background and making it all as lot of fun. The wineries were great as was lunch. We really enjoyed our trip out.
Wonderful day out

Wonderful tour from start to finish. Great guide - informative, engaging and funny. The wine and drinks experts at every venue were friendly and knowledgeable. Would completely recommend the tour for anyone interested in wine, or keen to learn.
Fabulous

Chris was our guide for the day and he was awesome. We had a glitch with the bus air conditioning so we delayed a bit but still did everything on the tour. It was very hot, over 100 degrees Fahrenheit but he took great care of us. All the wineries were fantastic. Would do this tour again definitely.
Response from Host , Feb 2020
Thanks heaps for kind words about your recent day trip to The Hunter Valley with Chris. We do apologize for the small hiccup with the air con, and on a day over 100f, it was a priority, and it's great to hear it didn't impact the day too much, and that you were still able to have a great day experiencing some great local wines. Cheers
Good wines and company

Despite the recent fire tragedies in Australia, we had a good time on this tour. There were some great wines and very friendly and knowledgeable hosts at the wineries. The tour guide was fun and easy to get on with. Really appreciated the extra effort to stop and have us see some kangaroos.
Response from Host , Jan 2020
Thanks for the 5 stars review. It's great to hear you enjoyed your recent trip to The Hunter Valley. Thank you also for acknowledging the devastating situation we are currently experiencing with all the bush fires right across Australia. The fact that you chose to come on a tour, shows that you are willing to help the local economy, and we, along with our local partners, are eternally grateful. Cheers
Lots of wine

This trip was great in every sense, except that when did it, the temperature was roughly 40 Celsius or 110 farenheit. Despite the heat, we drank lots of wine, nibbles away on a tiny sample of chocolates, and tasted some pretty good vodkas. Do not ask to try the spicy one, you may regret it haha. You will love the wines so much, that it will be difficult not to buy any to take with you.
Response from Host , Jan 2020
Thank you for taking the time to review your recent trip to The Hunter Valley with us. It's great to hear that, despite the extreme heat, you enjoyed your day, and got to try some amazing local flavours. Thanks also for supporting the local economy by purchasing some of the wines along the way. We hope you enjoy them, and yes, the chilli vodka does have a kick. Good on you for trying it. Cheers
