With what started as a chilly winters morning quickly turned to blue sky's & good times as the sun made light work of the mornings mist. The trip north on the M1 to the beautiful NSW Hunter Valley Wine Region was far from boring as Our tour guide Craig, who I found out was quite the wine connoisseur, was happy to keep the good times rolling with a playlist that kept us swinging like the 60's the entire trip. The choice of winery's was exception as we got to taste some.. or should I say a lot of what this stunning region has on offer. From Merlot, Pinot noir to Sauvignon blanc it was all for the picking, as our hosts gave us informative yet colourful backstories on each winery & drop. Unfortunately all good things come to an end & we made our way back to the bus looking a little more disheveled than when we first arrived. All in all it was an amazing day & a BIG thanks to Craig who put in a stellar performance not only looking after us all, but going to the extra effort to retrieve a jacket that unfortunately had a few to many & missed the bus ride home.
I highly recommend the tour & if anyone asks, just tell them you heard it through the grape vine. read less - 11/07/18
