Review of the 3-hour Hunter Valley wine tour with three tastings, a seven-cheese pairing, pickup, and a small group capped at 18.

“Two fat blokes winery the best, would have been nice to have one of the two fat blokes during tasting. Very friendly & informative driver Julie. I would give the second winery a total miss. Very little contact with staff, not welcoming/sterile environment, did not enjoy any of the wines.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 541 reviews · from $268

Review of Sydney’s wildlife, waterfalls and wine day tour, with koalas, kangaroos, coastal views, Fitzroy Falls and boutique wine tasting.

“Rowan was a great tour guide. Very informative and personable. The experience at the Symbio Wildlife was top notch. Special encounter with Koalas before it opened to the public and getting to feed wallabies and kangaroos. Then off to see some beautiful views and the waterfall after a short nature walk. Lunch near the beach and a bit of time to go for a swim or dip your toes in. Then to the winery. The overall tour was great, but if you have experience with wineries, I would say that the “wine” part of the tour was lacking. Still 5 stars given the way the whole tour was run and…”

Taste Hunter Valley wines, artisan cheese and a lakeside lunch on a small-group day trip from Sydney, with boutique cellar doors and scenic views.

“We felt this wasn’t particularly a tour for people who are very interested in wine. The tour guide, although friendly, did not really give much information about wine and the Hunter Valley. He was really just a means of transport and keeping us on track. The lunch was at a golf club which we thought a little odd, lunch at a winery would have been nicer. We didn’t particularly visit any really picturesque spots but we did visit three wineries and a cheese maker.”

Review of Daves Tours’ Sydney to Hunter Valley day trip, with boutique wineries, gin, chocolate, lunch, guides, costs, and practical tips.

“Drew was amazing! From start to finish, this tour was great. Pickup was smooth, we got on our way, and Drew shared some really interesting and fun knowledge with the group. Once we got out to the Hunter Valley, he made sure we were well taken care of. Really couldn’t ask for a better tour and tour guide. Would 100% recommend! My only other comment would be to not over eat the pizza (which was delicious btw). After lunch, you get cheese and chocolate and I was so full by the end!”
