Food and Wine Lovers – Full Day Tour

My partner and I went to the Hunter Valley mid-week and had the Food & Wine Lovers tour all to ourselves! We had an amazing full-day tour with our driver, Mark, whose extensive knowledge of wine and easygoing nature made our experience all the more enjoyable! We asked him to sit with us at the table seeing as it was just the pair of us on the tour, he happily obliged and we had some great conversations throughout the day. The cellar doors and restaurants we went to were all exceptional – we thoroughly enjoyed each course and the wine pairings were all fantastic. The two dishes we had at the Two Fat Blokes Gourmet Kitchen were definitely a favourite! We picked up a lot of great wines along the way, the standout for us being Bimbadgen Estate with a lot of great white wines. We had such a great day overall – it’s definitely worth doing the Food & Wine Lovers tour!

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! 🙂

We had a fantastic experience with our Two Fat Blokes tour guide, Bryan! The tour is great for first timers as you get to see a little bit of everything. Personally, the cheese & wine pairing was our favourite. Would highly recommend it to anyone! Went home with lots of cheese, wine and new jokes from Bryan!

My husband Peter and I would like to give a massive thank you to our tour guide Julie who spent the day with us today and helped make our 15 year Wedding Anniversary a day to remember. Two Fat Blokes Gourmet Tour was absolutely amazing, we had such a great day filled with so many laughs, great food and fantastic wines. We visited Peterson House as well as Saddlers Creek Wines, both had exceptional wines and also excellent service.
We had lunch at Two Fat Blokes Gourmet Restaurant and after lunch had 9 different cheese and wine tasting platter, it was food overload but it was amazing!!!!! We will definitely be back, I have already pre-booked Julie for my 40th birthday in 3 years!

We had the full ‘Gourmet’ tour which was 7+ hours of eating and wine tasting/drinking. Thoroughly good fun with genial host Julie. You get several tastings all of which involve tasting six or more wines, you get to blend your own bottle of wine, and you get breakfast, lunch and a cheese tasting. We didn’t need dinner!

My mother and I decided to go on the food lover tour because of all the amazing review we read. And let me tell you it did not disappoint. We went on another tour while staying in the hunter and this was by far the best tour. First off our tour guide Mark was amazing. He is studying wine making so was able to answer every question we had. He was extremely friendly and just an all around nice guy. Lunch was amazing as well. I couldn’t speak more highly about this tour and our tour guide I would recommend it to everyone and would do this tour again.

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.

My wife and I went on the Two Fat Blokes Food and Wine Lovers Tour for our wedding anniversary. Mark looked after our group and he was awesome! Not only was he extremely helpful and courteous, he make us feel very welcome and comfortable throughout the entire day. He obviously knew what he was talking about providing an excellent education about wines and their making, as well as the places we were visiting and the local area. The number, varieties and quality of the wines was extraordinary, while lunch and the cheese tasting at the Two Fat Blokes Café was second to none! I would highly recommend this tour to anybody and suggest you ask for Mark to look after you.
