Beautiful wineries, tasty wine and food. Erin was an excellent tour guide running us through the wine making process and the unique Hunter Valley twist to wine making.

Fantastic tour. Small group of 12 to Hunter Valley wine region. Visited 3 wineries, 1 distillery and another winery for a delicious lunch. Well worth the drive or off Sydney

Marco our guide was great. Even brought us to see some kangaroos within the vineyards. We had a blast. Wish some of the winetasting took place outdoors to take advantage of the good weather though

Had the best time. It was pouring with rain all day but Col, our driver and guide, made it fun and interesting. Tasted some fab wines, along with divine pizzas, craft chocolate, interesting cheeses and a selection of colourful spirits. I was dreading the long drive but it was all good. Highly recommended.

The tasting's were great. Our driver Patricia did not appear to know the areas very well and seemed inexperienced in driving the van. especially in the city traffic. We were also late to the first stop. She also was rude to a couple passengers. I would recommend the trip, however, not with this driver.

This tour was so fun. Our guide, Erin, was informative, friendly and kept us on schedule 😜. There were 11 people in our group, which was perfect. We had a great day sampling regional wines, cheese, chocolate and gin from the small, family run wineries in Hunter Valley. If you have a free day in Sydney, I highly recommend this trip.

We took the Hunter Valley Small Group Wine, Gin & Cheese Tour from Sydney... what fun! This full day tour was an amazing and educational experience. It was great to get out of the city and explore the Hunter Valley wine region. Our guide (Greg) was so knowledgeable and entertaining, and the wineries and their staff were so engaging. Dave’s buses were comfortable for the transfer and all details were pre-arranged for us... we just had to show up and enjoy! I'd highly recommend!

The wineries we visited were great. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. Our guide Ashley was wonderful as well. Great tour!

Brendan the tour guide?? unsure if this is right was a fantastic driver/guide. Gave some local knowledge and insight into the areas we visited. Met some first-class people with similar interests on the day. Long day but action packed. Visited a number of wineries, ate chocolate, sampled gin and had some cheese. Lunch was provided - rustic pizzas surrounded by great vistas of the valley under a pergola of vines

Loved the boutique wineries and hearing the passion of the winemakers. The scenery was fantastic, the lunch spot was beautiful and had great pizzas! Erin was a wonderful guide We did not care a lot for the distillery portion as it didn’t have the boutique feel and didn’t discuss much about their process. Lots of flavored spirits, and a couple were pretty good.

If you love nature and into agriculture business, this place will surely satisfy your sense. The different types of grapes they plant and directly processed into different kinds of wine. The place has also restaurants and stores offering a variety of products, from olive products to artisanal chocolates. My son hired a stretch limousine which brought us to different places with in the valley. It’s a huge farm and owned by different persons. The locals and other tourist flock to this place during christmas time.9

Very fun day and good value for money. Collin was a great guide with a fun personality making the trip more enjoyable. Would highly recommend.

What a spectacular day! The Dave for the day, Greg, was a phenomenal guide. He was funny, knowledgeable, and kept the group engaged. The day went Wine, Wine Lunch, Distillery, Wine - so much fun! The vineyards had great tastings, the distillery was very fun. The wine pairing with chocolate was not to be missed. Couldn't have asked for a better day!

I had a fantastic time on this tour - excellent value for money in terms of wineries visited! Patricia was a very accommodating guide who even helped us to go out and look for kangaroos. The lunch was delicious and I was impressed that it was included completely in the price with wine at the venue. No surprise extra costs, it is a long day out but a great way to see the hunter valley

Enjoyed the day with superlative and organized guide Colin! Our group of 19 included guests from New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, Japan, and the United States. We stopped first at Oakvale for a comprehensive range of tastings led by Aiden. Then, a lovely al fresco lunch at Bimgaden for wood-fire pizza, salad, and their citrus-forward 2023 Growers Semillon (their building looked like Robert Mondavi in Oakville, California). Then, the large group was split in half for a chocolate tasting at Hunter Wine Lab and a wine and cheese pairing at McCaffrey Estates with the affable Chris. Our final stop was at a unique shimmering gin and vodka offering at Small Mouth, which resulted in “polarizing” opinions but good fun nonetheless. Chris was accessible, accommodating, and even found some wild ‘roos for us to capture photos! We made it safely back to Sydney on time at 7pm as advertised, despite a bit of traffic. Well done, Dave’s Tour and Colin!

Such a great tour, Patricia our guide was so lovely and informative, I would recommend this highly!!

Myself and my friend had a wonderful time on the hunter valley wine tour today. We had Patricia as our tour guide and she was the best! We even got to see kangaroos - the tour was so amazing we would definitely recommend to anyone looking to visit hunter valley!!

A really great experience. Colin was a very personable and approachable guide. He clearly had a lot of experience in terms of his knowledge of the Hunter region, but also of the most effective way to run the tour. A great day out, that serves as a good overview of the region and it's producers. Basically, if you don't know the region, do this tour and it will arm you for further adventures. Just write things down, as you'll be sleeping on the return journey.

Our driver/guide Colin was excellent. The pickup and drop off was stress free and we thoroughly enjoyed the wineries and distillery. Lunch was an assortment of brick oven pizzas and salad, all of which were very good. We would definitely recommend this tour

I enjoyed this tour quite a bit. Marco, the driver and guide, was friendly and receptive to our questions about both Sydney and Hunter Valley. We stopped at three boutique wineries. Each featured a sampling of good-quality reds and whites. There was also a cheese and chocolate tasting at two of the wineries which provided a nice complement to the wines. Lunch consisted of a trio of fantastic pizzas, a hearty salad and some refreshing sparkling wine at an Italian restaurant. The only part of the day that was underwhelming was the flavored gin and vodka tasting. The products were too treacly for me. I highly recommend this tour for those wishing to spend a day outside of Sydney.
