Lovely views and Danny was amazing and friendly

I had an incredible time with Coast to Cork. The entire experience, from booking to pickup and drop-off, was seamless and hassle-free. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Coast to Cork for a day getaway – it's a surreal and fun experience that's both beautiful and memorable.

Great customer service Love the Canadian woman Knew a lot about wine & recommended certain wines. Loved the cheeses

Experiece are memorable and all staffs are friendly,ambiance are good and all the wines are excellent.

Such an easy day travelling around the wineries at Pokolbin with Tim at the wheel. Punctual, friendly and knowledgeable ihop spoilt us with choice of 15 stops plus transported our purchases. Had a wonderful day.

It was truly amazing- Kiara was very knowledgable and friendly! We loved the experience with her. She made it fun and truly amazing!!

Tinny took care of our wine tasting and she did it wonderfully. She has a lot of knowledge of wines and conveyed her knowledge to us in a fun and interesting way. It was a great experience.

We had a wonderful day, Dan was great, the winery guides were all very friendly and informative without overloading us with unnecessary info, and the range of tastings were generous and very much to our liking.

We booked a 3 hour Sunday afternoon tour with 2 friends. 2 other couples attended. The whole experience was just great. Our tour guide and carriage driver Jackie was friendly and informative. Our horses Max and Banjo were very capable and very cute. We visited 2 impressive wineries and a chocolate and cheese shop. All were great. I can highly recommend the experience.

We absolutely loved it - even though the weather was a bit drizzly, we set off with 2 other women and had the best time. Jackie ?? was an awesome driver and had plenty of stories about the history of Pokolbin. She was super friendly and down to earth which we appreciated. We were lucky that our experience extended the 3 hours as we spent longer at Lisa McGuigan's Winery which was the highlight of the tour. We were also lucky that we were a small group of 4, and that we all got on really well.

Brilliant experience from the morning greeting to safety briefing to the magic of watching the balloon inflate. The flight itself was beautiful and Pilot Sam was very knowledgeable and competent and we felt completely safe in his hands. The landing was incredibly smooth and the pack up seamless. It was a fascinating experience. Oh and the full buffet breakfast to finish was delicious!

100% recommend HVT - We had such a great time on our full day tour. The people we met were amazing, our driver was fully of quirky facts and always good for a laugh, and even took us to a bonus viewpoint at sunset. If you want bang for buck for a day in the Hunter Valley, this is the ONLY way to do it!

Danny was an excellent host, friendly and very knowledgeable about all the wine

What an excellent day this was. Our host, Tinny, guided us through a selection of wines & supported us through exploring the aromas & bouquets which we felt the wine delivered. Such a relaxing afternoon & we were able to leave with a few of the delicious bottles which we had enjoyed.
