About
We have earned the trust of local winemakers and chefs to offer you a day of educational experiences that are a lot of fun and unique to our tour. We have created an educational, personalised tour, with a light-hearted approach. Experience one of the best wine tours in Australia with our Food & Wine Lovers’ full day tour!
You will be picked up from your Hunter Valley accommodation in our luxury van and start your day with a private tasting of sparkling whites & reds, accompanied by brunch at Peterson Champagne House.
We then go for a scenic drive to one of the Hunter Valleys premium boutique wineries for a look behind the scenes, through the winery, bottling line and the barrel room, where you will be given a taste of premium wine (enclosed footwear required).
Next, it’s time to expand your taste, as you are guided through a vertical tasting with new and old vintages of red and white wines.
Then it’s time for an outstanding lunch at our own restaurant/delicatessen. You will have a choice of a light luncheon option which consists of a choice of our famous Red wine, White wine or Beer and food tasting plates or a main course including a glass of wine or beer.
Because we specialise in very small groups we can tailor any food and wine tours to your wishes, which may include some scenic trips to the top of the hill, showing you some of the oldest grape vines in the world, finding that elusive bottle of wine, visiting a winery you really want to go to or finding you some kangaroos to photograph. We always find our roo!

As a travel manager from Flight Centre Victoria Point, in the industry for 6 years, I have always wanted to travel to the Hunter Valley. Knowing very well we only had 48hrs in the Hunter, I wanted to make sure that for my wife and my 1st year anniversary we encapsulated everything the Hunter has to offer.
Two fat blokes came to my attention on various occasions and knew it was something that Flight Centre sells.
So we booked it, forecast was terrible, rain, winds, cold temps – you name it, the Hunter was scheduled for it.
No doubt we woke up, had our Breakfast, grabbed the Brolley. Right on time, Bryan from TFBGT arrives right on 9.45 right out the front of our room.
Instantly felt welcomed along with our wine, cheese, chocolate and beer tasting compatriots who were already in the bus.
Bryan was never rushed and constantly told us history and jokes about the valley in a constructive and well delivered manner.
Throughout the day we visited 6 venues, from wine tastings, to lunch, to cheese and wine pairing (delivered and explained by Bryan 10/10), chocolate tasting and the blokes at Hunter Valley brewing Co for some Beer.
I rate this tour as one of the best, rain, hail or shine. Local, interstate or international – this tour is for you.
Thank you Two Fat Blokes for making our 1 year wedding anniversary something we will remember.
Thank you to Bryan for calling our hotel in advance to light the fire for our arrival on this cold winters day.
This is something special we will remember forever!!
See you for our 2nd, 3rd, 4th +++++++ wedding anniversaries.
A+ rating – especially to Bryan and the team
Barrels of wine was to be expected. Barrels of laughs on the all-day tour was not. But the warm hospitality flowed just as freely as the wine that filled our glasses with Two Fat Blokes tour guide Julie, entertaining my partner and I with her wit, humour and knowledge of the Hunter Valley region. Visiting five of the Valley’s finest winemakers, we were able to gain an appreciation for the skilful and delicate process involved in transforming a dull grape into a fine drop and were even able to try our hand at wine blending – a process that involved the culumation of three whites. Upon my request, Julie – affectionately known as Jules – even stopped by the Hunter Valley Chocolate Factory, perched proudly on the hilltop. It’s a must do for chocoholics! Lunch at the Two Fat Blokes Restaurant was yum in the tum, as was the cheese and wine matching and sampling that followed. Thank you Two Fat Blokes for an amazing tour. You delivered so much more than expected and to that, I’m raising my glass! Tara Cooper.
I booked the full day lovers tour for my fiancé and I during his birthday weekend. Even though it was a rainy day, Phil, our guide made everything as fun as possible still! He impressed us with his amazing wine knowledge and made sure we were not getting drenched during the tour. We had such an amazing VIP experience tasting wine, mixing our own wine and bringing it home, wine and cheese tasting and even drinking wine out of the barrel. Phil also surprised John with a nice birthday surprise which was such a thoughtful gesture! He definitely went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and we enjoyed every second of the tour. Would definitely recommend this tour for couples! 🙂
