Testimonial

SIX Stars! This day could not have been better.

We were met by a comfy luxurious Mercedes van by Daniel and Kylie. We talked all day, about wine, family, the region and the experience of starting a business. What was clear is that they LOVE the Hunter Valley and they know all the best places. After chatting for some time and hearing about our wine preferences, Daniel made a quick call and changed the itinerary to make sure our day would be perfect. You don't get that on a bus tour. Thoroughly enjoyable and we were made to feel special.

"We had an amazing experience exploring the Hunter Valley. Our guide, Daniel, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much insight about the region and its wines. Each tasting offered something unique, giving us a great overview of what the area has to offer. One unexpected highlight was getting to see kangaroos up close — such a special moment! We're already looking forward to returning."

“We were torn between organising our own overnight trip or booking a guided wine tour — and we’re so glad we chose the latter. This experience exceeded all expectations from the moment we were picked up directly from our hotel.
Our guide, Daniel, was warm, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the Hunter Valley and the wines we sampled throughout the day. He even spotted local kangaroos for us to photograph — such a treat!
The selection of boutique wineries was perfectly curated, each offering something unique and memorable. The highlight? A fine dining lunch that easily ranked among the best meals we had during our stay in Sydney.
If you're looking for a premium Hunter Valley experience with zero stress and maximum indulgence, this tour ticks every box. Exceptional wine, gourmet food, seamless planning, and top-tier hospitality — highly recommended.”

"I still can't believe we did a day trip to the Hunter Valley from Palm Beach on the ferry and got back before dark. I booked Coast to Cork to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday and he could not have had a more wonderful time. An incredible day & we've got the photos and wine (a lot of it) to prove it!!"

"The whole tour was very amazing and astonishing. We had the chances to explore two unique and special vineyards for wine tasting activities. The wine was spectacular, and we bought some back home coz it’s wonderful. We also stopped at the restaurant for our lunch, and it’s great again, both the staff and the food!!! Daniel, the tour guide, was also fabulous during the tour. He was nice, easy going, and friendly, who would explain the history of hunter valley and provide much useful info during the tour. The tour was marvellous in nature. Will definitely recommend to friends!"
