Yasmine DREXLER said... I am a Sydney person just wanting to have a day out in the Hunter. I enjoyed it immensely. Cheeks, our driver was great fun - a very laid back, cruisey day out - no airs and graces. We left Sydney CBD approx 0720 and arrived around 1030. The De Iuliis Winery was great - we were hosted by Shaun and everyone enjoyed the location and the wine. I loved their Shiraz and their Semillon was outstanding. I bought 4 bottles and will order more online. The pub-style lunch at Hunter Valley Resort was good followed directly by wine/cheese pairing in the same location and that was really enjoyable (thanks Elloise - very interesting!). Then on to Glandore Estate Winery for wine/chocolate pairing - again, wine, chocs and location were all very enjoyable - lovely to sit outside on huge verandah doing the tasting (thanks Geoff). Then on to Hunter Distillery for gin/schnapps tastings. Loved the lychee and the passionfruit liqueurs. Back to Gordon train station approx 1900 where I took train home. It is not a 5 star experience - may not suit people who are looking for that and you would pay a lot more - but if you like cheeky banter, pub lunch, good fun - it is def for you. I felt like I had 2 days away in 1 day out. Thanks Cheeks!!
