Expectations Exceeded

Thanks for a great day out where our expectations were exceeded. Our tour guide, Julie, was kind generous and extremely knowledgeable about the Hunter Valley and wineries. We were a diverse group coming together to have a fun day out. Would highly recommend this tour of boutique wineries. Particularly grateful to Julie and the warmth of our co-conspirators for making our day. Cheers to Paul at Binet Wines and Jade at Iron Gate vineyard. Also loved Hunter Distillery – try Copperwave Gin – amazing.

Great half day Family wine tour

Our family of 10 had an amazing day with Colin. Very hospitable to our requests, informative on different winery’s in the area, places to eat and allowed us to go at our own place. A really great family day. Thank you Colin!

Way above expectations!!!!!

Wow in this modern era who would believe a business with a heart. Due to a serious diagnosis the day before our tour we were 2 people short on our booking. Although they didnt have to they did not charge us. So kind. As for our driver Chris what a gem nothing was too much trouble we probably should have tipped him so much more. Julie’s itinerary was AMAZING UNIQUE and flexible. Value for money is an understatement. Would l recommend 200%. What fun thankyou so much. Not enough superlatives to do this company justice. Believe me l am a…

Fantastic half day tour with family.

Julie designed a wonderful tour for my family ranging in age from 52-88 years. She made sure all the venues were accessible and took us to a great range of vineyards, chocolate, cheese, olive tastings as well as a fantastic gin and vodka distillery. Julie shared lots of local knowledge and fun facts and her attention to detail was second to none.

Five star full day No frills guided wine tour

The tour was not rushed which was what we requested since we had our mom with a bad knee with us. We also loved that we went to organic wines to accomodate my vegan daughter. The wineries that we went to and the lunch at Baume were just perfect for our group. Thanks to julie for arranging the tour and driving us around.

A perfect day!

My friends and I had a wonderful day on our wineries tour, and were so impressed with Julie’s care and professionalism during the day. She is also great company and it was wonderful hearing how she started her business after realising there weren’t any wheelchair accessible vehicles being operated in the Hunter Valley. Our vehicle was spotless, and our day went very smoothly. A fantastic experience and highly recommended!

Huge thanks for a fabulous tour today for my mum Brenda who is here on holiday. She had the very best of days and can’t stop talking about how interesting every stop was. Brett was an absolute gentleman and had planned everything to perfection, the bus was comfortable and clean and the routes taken gave ‘spectacular’ views. The guides at each venue were extremely knowledgable and welcoming. Thank you so very much Brett, you will be a very hard act to follow!

I would definitely recommend taking a wine tour with Hunter Valley Tours.

Julie is amazing. Her uniqueness makes this tour what it is. She learns what she can about her quests so she can personalize their experience along with the whole group. Her sense of humor was awesome.

We had a great time with our host Julie as she took us to awesome winery’s, vodka, chocolate and smelly cheese shops. She went out of her way to take us shopping in Cessnock after our tour and then brought us back to Pokolbin. Thank you for the best day.

My first wine tasting experience was amazing because of Brett. We felt no pressure to hurry during each stop and he really showed the gems of hunter valley. As our tour included wine tasting, cheese tasting, chocolates, vodkas and breweries, the vans fridge came in handy on top of Bretts all around service. I definitely recommend Hunter Valley tours. Thank you Brett for an amazing day.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Julie is such a lovely person and very accommodating to our needs. Will definitely be booking with Julie again. 10/10

Highly recommended.

I booked transfers and a wine tour through Brett after finding his details online. I can honestly say he was a pleasure to deal with, very reasonably priced and extremely accommodating. We had Julie pick us up and take us to dinner on Friday night and collect us later in the night then took us on such a lovely half day wine tour on Saturday then provided transfers too and from hope estate for ‘hope rocks the hunter’. We were a pretty rowdy bunch and Julie really just went along for the ride playing great music, providing lots of fun…

100% recommended. My mum, her partner and I did the 5 star full day tour with Julie from Hunter Valley Wine Tours (www.hvtours.com.au). It was awesome! Competitive rates, delicious lunch included and we visited 5 awesome boutique wineries and the Hunter Distillery. Pick up and drop off from our accomodation, Julie was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. We noticed many other tours were crammed into wineries while we felt we basically had a full private tour to boutique spots rather than the large and loud commercial joints. Great for couples, friends, a birthday party or to just treat yourself! Highly recommended.
