We had the best time on our half-day wine tour with Designated Driver Hunter Valley – it honestly exceeded all expectations! Everything from the booking process to the day itself was absolutely fantastic.
Sam and Martelle were brilliant – so warm, professional and organised. Martelle was beautiful to meet in person on the day, and she made the whole experience relaxed, fun and completely stress-free.
We visited wineries we never would have discovered on our own – and they ended up being our absolute favourites of the trip. The whole experience felt personalised and perfectly curated.
Could not recommend this company more highly – 10/10! We’ll definitely be back.
From the beginning Sam was knowledgeable and friendly, he t experience with Sam
It was lovely meeting you and your wife and would recommend Designated Driver to get you around the Hunter Valley.
Nothing was a problem. His car was beautiful and clean and whenever we returned from our tastings he was there waiting for us with doors open and bottles of water. I would highly recommend Sam and his business for your time in the Hunter Valley and will look forward to our next trip in the beautiful part of the world. Thank you from us all.
What stood out was how relaxed the whole day felt. There was no stress about directions or driving after tastings; it was just a smooth, enjoyable ride through one of the most beautiful wine regions in NSW. The team was flexible with our schedule and ensured we felt well taken care of from start to finish.
If you're planning a trip to the Hunter, I can’t recommend Designated Driver Hunter Valley enough. The service was a lovely surprise and truly elevated our stay — we’ll be booking with them again next time we’re in town
