We had a wonderful day with Nigel. He was clever, a great conversationalist and took us to wonderful wineries that were off the beaten path. He knew about some very unique wineries and was acquainted with most of the people doing our tasting so that we got special treatment most places we went. He was a good driver, gave some interesting background. I would recommend this tour, but especially if you can request Nigel.

We were meet by our guide Nigel , who is a truly inspirational guy. His humour and honesty made this our best day out so far. The wine tasting was interesting visiting 3 different wineries. We stopped for lunch at Enzo’s which was very nice A memorable day - well worth a day out with Nigel

All three AEA Luxury Tours were excellent. Small groups, comfortable vehciles knowledgeable, personable and professional guides who aimed to inform. The Private wine tour wow... Great boutique winery's, good food, and a couple additional stops (Cheese and Chocolate). Very impressive. AEA was intune with our interests and bent over backwards to answer questions and make sure we got the most out of the tour.

Firstly I want to say this was a small group tour (6 in total) and not a private tour but this option did not come up. The rest of the group were a family from Nebraska and were great company throughout. Our driver Steve had the usual typical Aussie humour and obviously very knowledgeable about Australia. His narration throughout was great but he also had the knack of knowing when to keep quiet so we could relax. He drove quite fast but was very safe. We were picked up direct from the hotel and set off to Hunter Valley. About 1.5 hours into the journey we stopped for a refreshments. Our first stop was at the Mount View Estate Winery followed by Broken Back Vineyard and finally stopped at the Tulloch Winery. At each winery you get a great tasting of some very good wines that you would not normally see in a shop (I think they mainly sell to restaurants). At the second stop we also had lunch which was amazing. Fine dining at it's best with a glass of quality wine. The lunch consisted one of each dish: snapper fish, duck and beef with a salad and also dessert. The lunch was simply superb. Obviously all the wineries have rivalry between each other in a good natured way. You are able to buy as many bottles as you wish all at different prices or have it shipped back home at a cost. The great thing is you taste different wines from the cheaper end (not supermarket cheap) to the expensive end and you then realise why some wines are more expensive than others. The difference in quality and taste is simply worlds apart. All the wines we tasted were of great quality. At our final stop (Tulloch) they paired wines to different chocolates. Not something any of us had tried before but was nevertheless a great experience. This was a great day out and I would definitely recommend this as an option for a tour from Sydney.
