Amazing wine tasting trip and blending in the nature

Thanh_V, Aug 2022

The waterfall is amazing. Great talk with the tour guide! The wine are so nice! We has a great time. Will definitely go there again

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hi Thanh, Combining wine tasting, cheese tasting and chocolate tasting with a great Australian roast lamb lunch, plus a beautiful waterfall walk is such a relaxing way of experiencing the Hunter Valley. It was a lovely slowly paced day that I'm sure we will all remember. It was great to meet you both and hope to see you both again. Kindest Regards, Ben Barry

Excellent guide

Marcel_M, Apr 2022

We had a wonderful time during our visit to the Hunter Valley. Ben was a great guide and facilitator. He provided excellent communication prior to the trip, was on time and provided a very comfortable schedule to take our time at all wineries. Would definitely recommend.

Response from Host, May 2022

Hi Marcel, Thanks for a magical day in the Hunter Valley filled with great wine and good spirits. There's not much better than tasting a lovely shiraz overlooking the vineyards and mountains. Hope to see you again! Ben Barry
