Review of Sydney’s Hunter Valley wine tour, with three cellar doors, lunch, tastings, a distillery visit, and practical tips for a long day out.

“It was a great day. I was confused at the different times mentioned for pick up which varied from 07:05 to 07:15 to 07:45 so we got there early just in case. Luckily for us our guide Michael turned up in a very comfortable minibus at about 07:25 and we got away by 07:35. Michael was friendly and gave us interesting information on the journey to the wineries. The total journey time was about 3 hours including a coffee and toilet stop. We stopped at three wineries and one distillery for spirits. The lunch was great and there was plenty of choice. I think it was good value for money…”
