Excellent Wine Tour from Sydney! - Great tour with our guide Chris O for our full day tour to Hunter Valley Wine Region! We visited 4 boutique wineries and a distillery! Our guide Chris was extremely knowledgable, had a lot of energy, great personality, and over did a wonderful job introducing us to the new wineries. The weather was fantastic and all the wineries and distilleries were excellent choices. Highly recommend this day tour from Sydney. Easy meet up and drop off points.

The best Hunter Valley Tour - This is my second Hunter Valley tour with Dave's tours. This one surpassed the 1st one. For the life of me I can't recall our guides name but he was AWESOME!!! He was super entertaining and was also engaging with us. We only had 4 people in this group and it was perfect! To the guide on August 17th, thank you for such a great tour, you deserve a raise =)

100% Recommend - I absolutely loved this wine tour! It is by far the best wine tour I have been on. All the wines were amazing and the amount of wine we tasted is unheard of in wine tours. The cheese and chocolate portion of the tour was amazing. The gin was also very good. FYI buy the bottles of wine on the spot, I didn't and regret it but I am also going back in Aug so I will be stocking up then. Each winery did a great job in explaning the wines.

My best Sydney trip - A truly great day and the tour guide (known as "the other Steve") was both friendly and informative. He made us all feel very relaxed when I got on theminibus bus and within 5 mins we all felt as if we'd known each other for years. A fantastic trip!!!

For wine enthusiasts Hunter Valley makes amazing wine, a must do while in Sydney! - Enjoyed the scenic drive from Sydney to Hunter Valley and Chris was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and most of all FUN! The family owned wineries on our tour were beautiful and every glass of wine I sampled was delicious, my fav was the Prosecco and Chardonnay from Oakvale winery and all organic! The pizza and salad lunch was tasty at Binbadgen. Could have done without the gin and vodka tasting at the end of the tour and replaced it with another winery, just a thought! Our group was a fun bunch made the experience more enjoyable! Thanks Chris for stopping the van so I could take a picture of the kangaroos, you made the day complete! 🦘 💜😊

Excellent Tour - Excellent experience overall. Tour group was led by Mr Colin who was very professional and knowledgeable. He shared briefly on the history of hunter valley, the wine industry in Australia and the wine making process as well. He also spotted kangaroos for us for photo opportunities. Visited 3 Wineries for tasting (1 with cheese, 1 with chocolates and 1 just on its own), 1 Winery for lunch (wood fired pizzas) and 1 Distillery (Gins, Vodkas and Liqueurs). 1) Oakvale (Cheese) 2) Bimbadgen (Lunch) 3) Hunter's Dream Estate 4) Hunter Wine Lab (Chocolate) 5) Small Mouth Very pleasant experience at all of the locations. The drinks were great. Lunch at Bimbadgen was good too. Well worth the money as the trip includes the ride from Sydney to Hunter Valley and back. Highly recommend for those who like wines but not familiar with the area.
