Incidentally I had some logistics challenges when I was booking. Keira effortlessly shuffled things around, to make sure we had the absolute best experience possible. Her local knowledge, warmth, and attention to detail made the day an absolute blast. Plus, having door-to-door service meant we only had one job: show up, soak in the day, and drink great wine!
If you’re looking for a top-tier, stress-free, and genuinely fun tour in the Hunter, look no further. We’ll definitely be booking with Keira again... time to explore some of her other spots!
Great wineries, great atmosphere, and no stress. Highly recommend Newy Tour Co. and will definitely be booking another tour in the future
The tour offered a perfect mix of wine tastings, spirits, food and wine pairings, finishing with a wonderful cheese and wine experience. The venues were thoughtfully selected, and every staff member we met was welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do.
From start to finish, the day exceeded our expectations and was one of the highlights of our visit. We highly recommend Newy Tour Co and will definitely book again the next time we’re in Newcastle. Thanks, Nathan, for an exceptional day!
Nathan was friendly, relaxed, and informative, without being over the top. We travelled in a very comfortable vehicle, the most comfy van/mini-bus I've ever been in.
The tour was easy to arrange and Keira's communication both pre- and post-tour was excellent.
Thank you so much Nathan and Keira!
The wine tour itself was absolutely beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed every part of the day. We had the chance to sample a wide variety of wines and even discovered a few new favourites.
One standout feature was that Keria was able to pick us up directly from our hotel in Newcastle, which was such a bonus. At the moment, Newy Tour Co is the only tour company offering this service, and it made the whole experience so much more relaxed and convenient.
Thank you, Keria for such a memorable and enjoyable day. We would absolutely recommend Newy Tour Co to anyone looking for a fun, insightful, and well organised wine tour experience.
Thanks Nathan!
