Food and Wine Lovers – Full Day Tour

We have been to the Hunter Valley many times and have done several different wine tours but this tour was by far the best.
Our day kicked off with some sparkling wine and pancakes….. yum!
Followed by the “make your own wine” experience which is exclusive to Two Fat Blokes and the winery – this was one of our favourite parts of the day and we got to take the wine home with us which was professional bottled with personalised labels. We went to several other wineries for tasting one inc going into the barrel room and tasting wine from the barrels and lunch was at Two Fat Blokes Gourmet Kitchen where the staff were all so attentive and lunch was delicious. While there we also did a cheese and wine pairing tasting which we really enjoyed.
Our tour guide Jules was really knowledgeable and friendly and flexible with where we went. Thanks Jules for making our day so enjoyable!
All the staff at the wineries seem to have great relationship with Jules / Two Fat Blokes, we definitely felt like we received “special” treatment everywhere we went.
I highly recommend this tour for the unique experiences they offer.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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!

My husband and I booked the all day tour starting at 9:45 and ending at 5:30. The entire day was amazing, from the sparkling wine brunch all the way through the end. The Two Fat Blokes Kitchen was probably our favorite part of the day with an incredible lunch followed by a lovely wine and cheese pairing that did not disappoint. Definitely recommend to anyone loving wine and cheese!
