Very enjoyable. Sam is very knowledgeable about the area and the wines. Great lunch at the Smelly Cheese Store, along with great tastings. Really enjoyed the Walkabout Wildlife Park petting the koala bear.

Sam was really nice and wanted us to have a fantastic trip. We started at the Walkabout Wildlife Park to pet the most amigable Kangaroos and Koala!!!! We fell in love with them and wanted to have a little more time with the animals which were adorable!!! Then from there we made a stop at a chocolate factory which we could really avoid but that is when Sam gets in contact with the vineyards he chose for the specific group at the moment after asking us what is it that we personally like, plus its a bathroom stop as well. After that stop we went to our first Vineyard which was Peterson but it was not what we expected. The guy at the winery just gave us the name of the wine but didn’t do anything additional To explain either the process or the personality of each wine. The stop at Smelly Cheese was absolutely worth it! We didn’t know the Hunter Valley had such great cheeses and the explanation of them was wonderful as well. Then we had a really good lunch right there where they also had a Japanese restaurant in a beautiful place. After that, we really liked our stop at the Ernest Hill vineyard where Jackie gave us one of the best wine tasting experiences and the wine is quite good! We ended up buying 4 bottles of wine. The tour ended driving through a wonderful highway full of vegetation. Sam was wonderful but there is room for improvement.harmaye

This was a really nice tour. Very informative yet casual. Sam is so knowledgable and made the experience fun. He was genuinely interested in everyone on his tour and adapted the trip (and tastes) to suit the group. Would definitely recommend and will go back. Thank you Sam! Helen

We just returned from this tour and it was amazing! Our tour guide/van driver Sam, was the BEST! Arriving at the animal park early, before so many others was great. The open setting has to be seen to be believed. We pet a koala, kangaroos, and even an emu! The rest of the park was small but a great spot to stretch our legs before heading on to Hunter Valley. Sam talked to us to get our thoughts on wine before choosing the right places for our group. He made great choices! A small group is definitely worth it. We’ll definitely be telling our family and friends about this fantastic tour! Thanks again Sam!eleanorbartsch

This tour was absolutely worth every penny. The guide was wonderful and we enjoyed the sites. Our group visited a zoo and fed Kangaroos, took a picture with a Koala & a Dingo, saw sleeping Tasmanian Devils and cuddled with a baby Wombat. We also visited two winery and a brewery that had some of the most delicious drinks and were able to take a bottle of wine to our lunch location up in the hills where we tasted some delectable cheeses. To top it off, we even tasted some great chocolates made a the family factory. I recommend this tour for anyone. It was truly a relaxing time in the country outside of Sydney.
