Travellers’ own words from these tours’ booking listings, in their own words, grouped by the kind of day they booked. The ratings further down are the operators’ own figures.
The half-day mornings
★★★★★
“Three wine tastings and the paired cheese course were all well presented and professional. The van was comfortable the whole way round.”
Jeffrey · Hunter Valley Wine half-day, Pokolbin · July 2026
★★★★★
“A relaxed morning of wine and cheese at a casual pace, with plenty poured. Not one moment of pressure to buy anything.”
Kerrie · Hunter Valley Wine half-day, Pokolbin · July 2026
★★★★★
“Greg kept the group fed and laughing from the first winery through to the Gourmet Kitchen. The wineries were generous with the pours and the pairing was delicious.”
Maggie · Hunter Valley Wine cheese matching · July 2026
★★★★★
“Lindell drove safely and kept us to time, and the whole half day was better than we expected for the money. We will be back.”
Georgia · Hunter Valley Wine half-day tour · August 2026
Full days from Sydney
★★★★★
“Peter guided and drove, and with only nine of us aboard it stayed cosy. The breweries and cellar doors were all good and the lunch was excellent.”
Louise · Hunter Valley Wine tour from Sydney · 2026
★★★★★
“Iron Gate started us off with the full story of how the wine is made, and that was our favourite part of the day. The second stop paired the wines with chocolate. The gin and vodka stop was the one that did not land for us.”
Cheryl · Hunter Valley Wine tour from Sydney · April 2026
★★★★★
“Michael found us photo stops and chose good wineries, and the bus service was courteous throughout. More legroom would have made a long day easier.”
Martha · Hunter Valley Wine tour from Sydney · April 2026
★★★★★
“Three vineyards and a distillery, every stop chosen with care, and the team made my father’s birthday feel like an occasion rather than a coach trip.”
Julia · Hunter Valley Wine tasting day · April 2026
★★★★★
“We turned up on the wrong day and Jeff sorted it out without fuss. With eight of us we got real service at the smaller wineries. We would book again.”
Emma · Boutique Hunter Valley Wine tour from Sydney · July 2026
★★★★★
“Good wines and beautiful views the whole way round. We even saw kangaroos at the last stop.”
Elizabeth · Boutique Hunter Valley Wine tour · July 2026
★★★★★
“Yan was attentive and helpful the whole way. The lunch at the manor was a proper sit-down rather than a sandwich in a car park. Ten out of ten.”
Karem · Hunter Valley Wine day tour with lunch · July 2026
★★★★★
“The right introduction to the valley if you have never been. Chen drove and guided and made the day. The lunch and the wine pairing were the highlight.”
Cynthia · Hunter Valley Wine coach day · April 2026
Full days inside the valley
★★★★★
“Paul made the day. The wineries were beautiful, and the lunch and the tastings went down well with everyone in the group.”
Jessica · Uncork the Hunter full-day wine tour · August 2026
★★★★★
“Kurt was good fun and Stomp Wines was the pick of the day. A good group of people made the rest of it. We would happily do the same day again.”
Dean · Hunter Valley Wine full-day tour · April 2026
★★★★★
“All five wineries were good and the guide was lovely. We would do the same day again without changing a thing.”
Kirstie · Uncork the Hunter full-day wine tour · April 2026
★★★★★
“Two family-run wineries that were genuinely welcoming, and Nathan knew the region inside out. The wine was very good.”
Rowena · Boutique Hunter Valley Wine tour · August 2026
★★★★★
“Three boutique wineries, a cheese tasting and a friendly driver-guide in Jeff. A long day, but a good one.”
Yigal · Scenic Hunter Valley Wine tour · January 2025
★★★★★
“Six hours of driving for about four in the valley, and lunch was at a golf course rather than among the vines. The boutique wineries were pleasant and one had a lovely setting. Good value overall, but pitch your expectations.”
Debra · Hunter Valley Wine tour from Sydney · April 2025
★★★★★
“Raphael was entertaining, the wine was plentiful, and we saw three wineries plus the cheese room before heading back.”
Valerie · Scenic Hunter Valley Wine tour · March 2024
At the cellar door
★★★★★
“Georgina walked us through the soil, the wine and the aromas. An hour very well spent. We came away with three bottles and would recommend it to anyone.”
Ana · Hunter Valley Wine and cheese tasting · April 2026
★★★★★
“Declan knows the industry inside out and every wine was distinctive. The room was clean, the service second to none. More variety in the cheese would have made it perfect.”
Krikor · Hunter Valley Wine and cheese tasting · January 2026
★★★★★
“Good value and good explanations of every wine and cheese. The owner poured them himself rather than handing us to a casual.”
Luc · Hunter Valley Wine and cheese tasting · November 2024
★★★★★
“The Verdelho and the Frenchman were the pick of the range, and the welcome was professional from the moment we walked in.”
Wesley · Hunter Valley Wine cellar door tasting · January 2026
★★★★★
“Small independent cellar doors, a good spread of wines and a guide who kept the whole group happy. Wonderful countryside.”
Claire · Hunter Valley Wine, cheese and chocolate day · November 2023
