This tour is run by a couple who are owner, operators. We found them to be very professional, and extremely friendly. The actual tour was great value. It included fantastic scenic locations, with very knowledgable commentary. The food provided was excellent . Fresh, homemade, and set out in beautiful settings. Adding to this, I accidently dropped my phone on the bus before being dropped off. I rang them and said I would be happy to come and get it, but they went out of their way to return it to our apartment.

We love organised tours (we even offer a few!), but there is something special about designing your own day tour. This product is for those who have a group of buddies or family and want to spend the day exclusively with them. The choices are yours. Choose your lunch venue. Choose from boutique and commercial wineries. Just quietly, we find most of our private passengers like the boutique :) And if you decide you want to stop off somewhere for an encounter with the kangaroos, we are down with that, too.

Inclusions: Private transportation

Exclusions: All food and drinks is the responsibility of the passenger

Where to even start... Elite Private Transfers are incredible! The Hunter Valley was ridiculously busy due to COVID-19, and my boyfriend planned a surprise trip, but couldn't secure a Wine Tour. Elite Private Transfers came to our rescue at 6pm on the Friday evening, prior to our Private Wine Tour on Saturday AM... Gina helped to secure a Private Driver, booked us in with an amazing lunch at Calais Winery, Kawul - yum, and even pulled together magically 3-4 wineries we could do tastings. It was fantastic, and I couldn't recommend the service better. Thanks Gina and the Team at Elite Private Transfers. Get in touch - you won't be disappointed.

I booked a tour through behind the barrel for my partners birthday and it was a great experience! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and Jarryd was knowledgeable of all the beverages and knew how to show us a good time, especially with the 1%ers like letting us use the aux cord for the drive! Haha - definitely recommending to all our friends.

Harry is an excellent tour guide! You will not find a more genuine and kind person to take you to places around Byron you wouldn’t have thought to go! From the waterfall, look outs and tea tree lakes you are looked after and get to experience these magical locations thanks to Harry! He makes you feel welcome and is super relaxed and accommodating. I would highly recommend going on his tour and will definitely be going on another tour with him when I’m back in Byron! Such great value for an experience you won’t forget! Thanks Harry for making it such a wonderful day it really is an amazing tour!

Wine tours are nothing without the perfect surroundings in which to indulge. Nestled inland from Newcastle, the Hunter Valley is a mere 2 hour drive from Sydney and is home to wineries, luscious farmland, art galleries, golf courses and native wildlife. On this small-group tour with no more than 16 participants you’ll taste Australian made wines at three boutique wineries, paired with a food menu to compliment every drop. Before leaving Sydney, you’ll visit the Sydney Fish Markets to purchase fresh seafood to be used in the menu and stop in the Hawkesbury region for breakfast. Your guide is not just any old guide – he is your cook as well, and is a qualified chef! We do this to make sure that the food you get to eat matches your tour and the wines you are tasting to perfection. Our mission is to make your day not just an outing, but an expedition, exploring vineyards, and experiencing first class cooking in idyllic surrounds.

Inclusions: Beverages, Bottled water, Breakfast, Food tasting, Lunch, Snacks, Wine tasting, Driver/guide, Air-conditioned vehicle, Selected hotel pickup and drop-off

Exclusions: Gratuities

My husband and I received a birthday voucher for this experience from our children, and it was certainly money well spent. Jimmy the owner from start to finish produced a magical day for us all, from an insight into the functionality of the fish markets and breakfast in Brooklyn, to preparing gourmet dishes to pair with the lovely wines at each winery visited in the Hunter Valley. We would certainly recommend this tour to everyone and hope to have the opportunity to experience it again in the near future.
