Tour reviews of Hunter Valley Wine Tours

Raki drives us around and he was very knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. If you have a particular cellar door you want to visit all you have to do is ask and he will get you there. I usually don’t enjoy wines myself but I went with others who love wines and I enjoyed the experience. Raki recommended Gartelmann Wines, a boutique winery with a very personal touch, and I found a wine, a Semillon, that I actually enjoyed drinking which is very rare. If you are in the area and want to visit the Hunter Valley with a friendly and knowledgeable guide then I highly recommend you book a tour with Raki!
