Enjoyable tour

I liked that we had a variety of tastings - cheese and wine pairings; chocolate and wine pairings; liqueur and schnapps tasting. I just wished that the operator had a microphone so we could hear him when he was talking. Van was very comfortable.

Sharing wine tasting experience with everyone. Listening to the process of wines was also quite interesting, they can be stores for many years and remain drinkable
Highly recommend for first timers to the Hunter Valley

Mark was an excellent guide/driver and we had a great day! It was probably the best way we could have experienced the Hunter Valley for the first time with no prior knowledge of where to go.
Amazing wine tour through...

Not worth the money and too strict like a school
Aeindri_S

Did not like the concept of food not being allowed inside the bus. People have dietary requirements which needs to be on time. Im sure it was not fair for anyone.
This also should have been informed before departing / or while booking.
Food can and should be better
Response from Host , May 2022
Thanks for the feedback, Aeindri. We allow non alcoholic drinks and snacks to be eaten on the bus, just not hot food. Sydney's public bus and taxi system are the same but technically even stricter - it's NSW law.
We provide a choice of 9 meals so the main dietary requirements are catered for. All meals - including yours - came out promptly as we call though the order before arrival to save time. You did not raise any issues with our driver at the time nor any part of the day.
Drink, don't drive. Takes the guess work out.

Getting aboard the mercedes blacked out bus should have been a hint of the day ahead. Whisked point to point for wine and more wine.
Really efficient for people pressed for time. Also, should not drink and drive.
Great to have everything taken care of.

Best winery tour!
Our tour driver Mark was exceptional! Knowledgeable about the wine region, professional and friendly. The lunch provided on the tour was delicious and came with an amazing view of the Hunter Valley. If semillon wine is your thing, this wine tour is for you!
A great birthday getaway!
A great time

Wonderful, wonderful experience. Visiting from America. Were told by a relative that the wine tour was not to be missed. We loved it. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the staff at the various wineries were delightful...and taught us all about wine making. Would highly recommend it. And by all means try the chili vodka.

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!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
