4Nice day
A nice day in the hunter, lots of tastings, yummy lunch and good information from our guide Drew.
5Small wineries with...
Small wineries with knowledgeable hosts and great wines. Drew gave loads of extra info on the area and wildlife inbetween stops. A great day out.
5Love wine - you'll love e this tour
A fantastic tour with visits to 4 independent wineries in the Hunter Valley. We were served a great selection of wines, well over 20 wines along with cheese and chocolate. Drew, our driver and guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour even more interesting. Its a full day tour and well worth the money - a fabulous day out.
5Great day out
Great day out. Our guide was fantastic and all the winery’s we visited were so interesting and insightful. The wine and gin was obviously amazing and the lunch provided was in such a stunning location and delicious. The day flowed beautifully. Could not recommend highly enough.
5Lots of fun
I booked this tour for a girlfriend's birthday present, and we were not disappointed. Great vineyards- Oakvale was an outstanding new find for me. Matt was super accommodating, even to the other two tour members who were quite challenging. Highly recommend.
5Great day tasting wine
Fantastic day with our driver Drew, who was very knowledgeable . We went to four wineries, one organic with a distillery tour, one with a lovely pizza and salad lunch followed by gin tasting, another larger winerie with wine and cheese pairings and and the final one included delicious chocolate pairing. I bought a couple of bottles of my favourites. Would recommend this tour to anyone, it's a small group tour.

About Newcastle
Newcastle is a coal-port city at the mouth of the Hunter River in New South Wales, with surf beaches, ocean baths and a lighthouse on a long breakwater.
Newcastle began as a convict settlement in 1804 and grew around coal and, later, steelmaking, and its harbour is still among the largest coal ports in the world. The centre curves around the water, with Christ Church Cathedral on the hill and heritage buildings along Hunter Street. Nobbys Head, a headland topped by a lighthouse, is joined to the shore by a long breakwater, and Fort Scratchley, a nineteenth-century coastal fort, guards the harbour mouth.
