James had a great knowledge of the region and went above and beyond to ensure all had a great day. A great mixture of wineries visited.
My partner and I chose to go with James wine tours and are glad we made this decision. James had great knowledge of the region ,the wines and was friendly . We had a lovely day, I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a good day out in the valley .
We chose this tour purely based on the competitive price at the time. We were very happy with the tour and had loads of fun! The wineries we visited were all interesting, helpful and with lovely wine. James was very informative and his knowledge of the local area impressive.
I recently went on a winery tour which was provided to my workplace complimentary of james' hunter valley winery tours. I had a ball!! We went to 3 wineries.1: Lucy's Run - a small winery, which has a delicious range of wines plus home marinated olives and home made dukkah.2: Savannah Estate - the man who looked after us here was amazing. He was full of facts and stories and funny little quips. I would definitely come back! Not to mention the wine was delicious! 3: Hunter Valley Gardens - there is a little wine cellar here in the village, we did chocolate and wine matching. The people knew what they were talking about but seemed very rushed. Still enjoyable nonetheless! 4: Binnorie Dairy - I personally sat this one out as im not very adventurous when it comes to dairy. But the rest of my group seemed to enjoy themselves, they definitely spent up big! All in all it was an enjoyable day. We all went home knowing something new. Would like to thank everyone from Lucy's Run, Savannah Estate, Hunter Valley Gardens and Binnorie Diary for their hospitality and to the people from James' Huntery Valley Winery Tours i sya thank you and i hope to do business with you again soon!
James was a fantastic host, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, even looking into taxi companies etc. for us to help with our evening plans! The vineyards we visited were ones we wouldn't necessarily have found by ourselves and we arrived home really happy with our experience and purchases - we did wonder if we would be 'wined out' after 7 hours but we weren't it goes so quick - James formats the day excellently, without giving away his itinerary every stop had its own charm but the first and last stops of the day were our favourites so please pass on our thanks to those hosts James, we would be more than happy to give them great feedback too! Thanks for a lovely hunter valley experience James! Beth, Kev, Margot & Mike
A big Thanks to promoting us out here at Hollydene Estate. We appreciate the support to help bring business to the Upper Hunter.
Mum had a wine tour voucher to use, so she brought me along and we had an absolute blast. We met lovely people on the tour and we were taken to 4 vineyards that I had never been to before, as well as Pokolbin village for cheese and chocolate tasting. I would definitely do another tour with James.
Loved the wineries james took us to, especially hanging tree, Beautiful winery. James was very accommodating and knowledgable good tour
My two friends and I did this tour two days ago. James picked us up on time and was a great host. We visited 4 wineries, all of which we got to taste different types of wine and all the owners were delightful. We were on the bus with 8 other people, who were all different ages and we all had a blast together.
Had the best day with James on the tour! He took us all around some Boutique Wineries, our favourite being Lucy's Run. We will be recommending the tour to anybody that asks!
