Wow! What a wonderful experience spending time in the beautiful Hunter Valley Vineyards.
Our group was punctually picked up from our accommodation for our small group private tour.
Our first stop was the historic village of Wollombi where morning tea was just perfect. Afterward, we were given the opportunity to explore this quaint area with its sandstone buildings, old wares shops, museum, and the famous Wollombi Tavern.
Next, we visited several vineyards, where premium reds and whites were available for tasting. All this whilst enjoying stunning views of the beautiful Brokenback Range. Our scrumptious lunch was at the award winning Enzo’s. Our final stop for the day was at Scarborough Vineyard where we had a private tasting, where cheeses accompanied a selection of wines. What a way to finish the day!
Todd was enthusiastic and outgoing with our group. His knowledge of the Hunter Vineyards and its history kept us all fascinated. He entertained his guests with stories of the famous vignerons who established the wineries in the area. The earliest, almost 200 years ago.
A thoroughly enjoyable tour. Very highly recommended to anyone who enjoys wine, both red and white, whilst visiting the beautiful Broke and Pokolbin areas and, only two hours from Sydney.

I can only speak highly of Todd as a tour guide as looked after us so well when we did a wonderful trip to Wollombi and the Hunter Vineyards with him recently. We were picked up in a private car from our accommodation with two others in the car, a very comfortable drive indeed. First stop was morning tea at beautiful Wollombi, then we were taken to a few wineries where we tasted quality wine in a private sitting. We dined at Enzo's for lunch, a great choice and later at another award winning winery called Scarborough Vineyard. Todd's knowledge of the area was wonderful and his choice of wineries to visit were well thought out and planned. We stayed the night in the historic Cessnock pub, great accomodation which was clean, comfortable and very affordable, which offered great food and entertainment. We could not fault Todd's tour at all, he was a pleasure to be with and took care of us very well. Highly recommend it to anyone!

My wife and I recently took a tour with Todd to the Hunter Wineyard area for the weekend. We would recommend this to anyone as he was extremely well organised, polite and great company. His knowledge of the area is amazing and his tour was absolutely enjoyable. We felt very well looked after by him. We weren't rushed for time and it was so great to taste great Australian wine and to see the beautiful countryside plus a few kangaroos on the way! Our accommodation for the Saturday night was great as we stayed in an old pub with great food and local music. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, a big thankyou to Todd.

I have to say that Todd Tours Hunter Valley trip is an excellent choice should you wish to do a wine tasting trip from Sydney. I wanted to do something out of my normal routine, so I decided to do an overnight trip wine tour with Todd Tours. It was a day off full of adventure! Todd offered me a full overnight package including a visit to a historic town, wine tasing and restaurants the Hunter Valley. It was a well prepared trip that I highly recommend. It included first class wineries and fantastic local restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Todd is very polite and knowledgable and we completed our planned trip without rushing. The highlight was the hot air balloon flight at sunrise over the gorgeous Hunter Valley. I am very keen to book another tour with Todd Tours soon.
