Such a fun tour!!! The places visited were great stops with knowledgeable staff and great wine. The best thing of all was the company and the people we shared the tour with Hayley, Claire, Crystal Anna and sorry I can’t recall your names apologies. Ness the guide was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Thanks for sharing it was a great way to celebrate the start of the weekend Cheers!!!

The wine tour included three wineries with an array of samples at each place. We started with a wine and cheese pairing which was really good. All 3 winery tours were informative about the wines we were sampling and each visit was lively and fun. By the end of the tour, everyone on our van was laughing and having a great time.

Had a great time and would highly recommend. The 3x wineries we visited were all very unique and had lovely sommeliers that talked us through each wine.

Hunter Valley tour

Sunnii_P, Dec 2025
We went to three different vineyards around Hunter Valley, and the first was definitely the best. We were a group of 12 so got to speak to everybody, which was a super nice feature of the tour. After the first vineyard the wines decreased in quality - and we didn’t learn anything about the wines, grapes or the vineyards themselves. We booked this tour because of the positive reviews & personalities, plus the opportunity to learn about Aussie wine. Unfortunately we didn’t feel we got that experience. Our tour guide simply dropped us from place to place and even 1-1 interactions were hard, we felt like an inconvenience. This is a quick way to see a glimpse of what Hunter Valley has to offer, but it definitely didn’t feel like more than that.

Very fun morning

Megan_S, Dec 2025
The driver Shaun was very welcoming and informative. The wineries were visited were great and bought a few bottles to take home.

We were collected at our hotel by Julie who showed us a great morning with her knowledge of the Hunter and the wines. We enjoyed cheese and wine pairing at Two Fat Blokes and then went to Oakvale Wines and First Creek Wines. The van was clean and our day went smoothly as Julie was always on time.

Great Hunter Valley Experience

Kathy_S, Apr 2025
This is a great way to visit wineries in Hunter Valley without having to worry about driving. The wineries we visited were great, and our guide was very organized and fun.

Wine, cheese and good company. Perfect Hunter Valley experience.

Noreen_G, Dec 2024
Easy pick-up from our resort in a comfortable air-con vehicle. Each of the 3 vineyards had their own atmosphere and particular style of delivering their wines and story. We enjoyed the half day tour and then continued onto 2 more vineyards of our own choosing. Geoff our driver was very friendly, making the tour most enjoyable.

So good, so funny!

David_S, Dec 2024
It was like doing wine tastings with a stand up comic who just happened to very knowledgeable about wine. It was a memorable afternoon spent with a fantastic group of people. Our guide Julz deserves a massive raise! 😉

10/10 Recommend

Annabel_D, Aug 2024
My partner and I booked a wine tour with Two Fat Blokes on recommendation from some friends and had the best afternoon with Glen and our group! We're not cheese/ wine connoisseurs but have to say the cheese and wine pairing was a highlight. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about how different cheeses change the flavour of wine. Would highly recommend Two Fat Blokes to anyone visiting the Hunter

Enjoyable day

Debra_C, Aug 2024
Two fat blokes winery the best, would have been nice to have one of the two fat blokes during tasting. Very friendly & informative driver Julie. I would give the second winery a total miss. Very little contact with staff, not welcoming/sterile environment, did not enjoy any of the wines.

Perfect day out and great value.

Lisa_F, Aug 2024
Greg was a great guide and the tour itself was well organised. We had a full bus load which made it fun and getting to meet people from other parts of the world always interesting. The best part was Two Fat Blokes with the matching cheese and wine tasting. We went back the next day to buy a bag load for home.

Highlight of our Hunter trip! Loved the wineries, our guide was fun and knowledgeable and the pours were generous! Loved the cheese pairing and the pizzas at Bimbadgen were incredible.

Not acceitable

Leonie_M, Jun 2024
Two fat blokes need to improve their communication avenues including this platform information. We also sat in a bus with no seat belts

The best wine tour!

India_B, Jun 2024
This was such an awesome little wine tour, our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed it! Our tour host Julie was an absolute gem who made the tour as fun and enjoyable as it was. She kindly picked us up from our airbnb and took photos for us whenever we asked. Two fat blokes was definitely the highlight, yummy cheese and and wine 😊

Absolutely fantastic 😊

Great cheese and wines!

We were able to cover 3 different places during our tour, tasting various different types of wines from different houses. We also got to do a lovely cheese/wine pairing. Highly recommended.
