Fun day exploring the Hunter. A beaut location best enjoyed by letting the guide take you great places- and letting the worry go of driving home after gorgeous wine

It was great being picked up by our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide Peter at our accommodation in Cessnock.
Though there was a mix up with the first winery he quickly resolved the issue and a substitute winery was found.
The choice of wineries was great. The distillery chosen was great and the presenter there was personable and engaging. Lunch was delicious.
Peter was very understanding when we had to deal with a family medical emergency in another state during the tour.
He also added an extra stop at a chocolate factory at the end.
We were then deposited back at our accommodation at the end of a lovely day.
The only disappointment was there wasn't more cheeses to be tasted but we think that was meant to happen at the missed winery who couldn't accommodate our tour that day.
