A greater way to visit the Hunter Valley and you could just relax. We visited great wineries and we thoroughly enjoyed the quality wines, and the wine pairings with the chocolate and cheese.

Sensational Saturday in Hunter Valley

Leonid 20 January 2024

Thanks to RedBalloon and Dave’s Team we have had a sensational Saturday in Hunter Valley winery district, tasting wines, learning about the cheese and chocolate matching with most knowledgeable guides and trusted driver.

Just do it!

Lisa 8 January 2024

This was our second tour booked within months of each other because the first one was so much fun! And it was a great idea to celebrate one of our girls 40th birthday! Cole looked after us very well for our first tour and Jackson was very patient and knowledgeable for our second tour. We all had an absolute blast!

Amazing experience!

Dean 4 July 2023

The whole experience was amazing, so much knowledge and great vibes, amazing views and so many laughs! Truely an amazing experience with friends and will be returning with my partner. Only downfall was Red Balloon did specify where the pick location is, we had to call the night before to check. Apart from that, this is a must do tour.

Great day in the Hunter Valley

Mairead 18 April 2022

This was a really fun day in the Hunter Valley departing from Sydney. We visited 3 wineries and one distillery and each experience was different and much fun. The first wine tasting was with cheese and the second one with chocolate! We had lunch in the middle of the day at a venue surrounded by vineyards. As a predictable wine drinker, sticking with the same blends, it was time to try some new varieties and was not disappointed. Managed to buy some bottles to bring home as well. It is a long day if you are departing from Sydney but it was worth it.
