Premium Wine, Cheese and Handmade Chocolates HUNTER VALLEY PRIVATE TOUR
Overview
Tailor the day to your preferences: indulge in premium single estate hand-crafted wine, pair wine with local cheeses or scrumptious canapes, or try something a little daring and match wine with hand made chocolate.

He had a good knowledge of the Hunter Valley Region and took us to wineries that were a bit more tucked away from the main tourist spots which made the experience all the more enjoyable and gave a very personalised feeling a amazing experience overall. Great value for money.Excellent guide by Ben. A real connoisseur of the Hunter Valley, as well as of wine tasting. Helped us to fix some things that we needed in our way, and gave us nice recommendations on places to taste and eat.

Ben was a very knowledgeable and friendly host! From the moment we were picked up in his clean and comfortable van we all felt at ease with Ben. His local knowledge of both the area and wineries was fantastic and we all learnt a thing or two. He had taken the time to research the wineries we wanted to go to which was a great addition because a number of the group had not ever done a wine tasting before. I would recommend Ben without hesitation and we are already booking our next weekend and tour!
