Heart of Hunter Tours - Lovedale, New South Wales

Clive’s boutique producers tour was amazing! Great wine, beautiful views, and an all around fun day. Clive was knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to take our photos, even when we ran over for time. Would 100% hire him again, and recommend him to anyone looking for a private tour in the Hunter.

Our group of 4 had an amazing time in the Hunter Valley with Clive's Bespoke Tour. From initial enquiry to drop-off, his tour was very well organised and every step was carefully planned. Clive surprised us with 3 brilliant and scenic tasting locations and was very flexible in giving us the option to choose 1 other winery and our lunch location. Clive provided exceptional information on every winery before arriving to each one, in the form of a texted PDF, which was later sent to us as a whole PDF document for memories. We highly highly recommend Heart of Hunter Tours when visiting the Hunter Valley.

Absolutely brilliant! Clive is incredibly knowledgeable about wine and the hunter valley; and his professionalism, organisational skills and customer service are second to none. We would definitely do another tour with him when we're next in the Hunter. Thanks for a great day out!

Clive curated the perfect tour for us, taking us to 5 very different but equally wonderful wineries. He was incredibly thoughtful, responsive and organized, keeping us fully informed at all stages of our journey, including providing comprehensive follow up notes for each of the wineries we visited. We appreciated his deep knowledge of the Hunter region and wines and we thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with him. We would highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommend!! 🍷🥂

Clive led our group of four on an all-day (~7 hour) tour to four wineries, plus lunch. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, picking us up from our local air b'nb and driving to all the stops (+ provided water). We asked him to create our itinerary, and we really enjoyed his winery selections: Thomas Wines, De Iulius, Tyyrell's, and Audrey Wilkinson. Each winery provide a broad tasting experience (at least 6 wines, frequently more, with a mix of red/white and varieties of grapes).

Thanks Clive! 🙌🏼

Clive arranged an amazing day for us in the Hunter - really thoughfully considered and in line with the ideas we had. Everything was well planned out and we got to experience some wineries we'd never been to before. Clives customer service and organisation on the day are second to none 🙂 Thank you so much for helping us have an amazing weekend away.

Clive is an amazing tour guide or I should say a friend who takes you to an interesting ride through the hunter valley. Enjoyed every bit of the tour - myself not a big wine drinker : Clive was kind enough to curate a tour plan meeting my requirements. He is always on time and throughout the drive and on the location - he is sharing some beautiful insights about the place. And he is great photographer too.
You should pick HeartOfHunter for sure if you are planning to visit any or most of the part of Hunter Valley region in Australia !!
He will surely make your trip memorable. Thanks Clive for your great work and sharing the details pdf too post trip so that I can keep it as memoir of the places we visited.

Clive was absolutely terrific! He was prompt, courteous and very knowledgeable about the local area and wineries. He also gave us some excellent recommendations for local restaurants which all proved to be spot on. He had a very clean and comfortable vehicle with plenty of water (which was very much appreciated to offset our wine intake!). He was also just a pleasure to chat to - a true gentleman. We can't recommend Clive highly enough!
