Our Hunter Valley trip was lovely
Our Hunter Valley trip was lovely. Jim the driver was very entertaining and informative about the Australian history; there were some aspects we didn't know so Jim's information was very welcome. The trip was lovely and the wineries we visited where very good. We have paid for the special lunch as we have celebrated our 43rd Anniversary and we were taken to Villa du Pays restaurant. The lunch was exceptional the chef made our lunch experience wonderful we had a fantastic wine from Leogate Estate wines -Shiraz accompanied our lunch, too bad we couldn't take anything with us as we flew back home the next day. We will order this wine on line for sure. The only small complaint we had as we were pick up last we sat on the back of the mini bus and the seats were not very comfortable for a long journey. My husband is a tall man so he was a little squashed in the back. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
Lovely sunny day touring the boutique wineyards in Hunter Valley
Lovely sunny day touring the boutique wineyards in Hunter Valley, where we were able to taste a range of different wines from red, white to sparkling. The tour guide was quite friendly and knowledgeable about the region, where he filled us in on exciting facts and fun stories along our journey. We were not only able to enjoy wine but also drink in interesting knowledge about the different wines and its brewing methods. This tour is definitely for all those wine lovers!
My husband James and I had an incredible day
My husband James and I had an incredible day. Guide/driver Keith was informative, funny and the perfect guide. With he sun shining, sampling gorgeous boutique wines, nibbling on chocolate, cheese and then having a gorgeous lunch, we couldn’t have improved upon the day. And the wine we just had to buy survived the journey back to Singapore rolled up in our clothes! As a day trip out of Sydney, I would recommend this to everyone who likes a glass of wine!
