Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What a great day with Tex exploring the wonderful vineyards of the Hunter Valley.
Tex was very knowledgeable but even more importantly he was very entertaining.
Tex organised the whole day for us including small boutique vineyards, larger classic vineyards, pub lunch, chocolate tastings and a stop at the Smelly Delli!
Lots of laughs and Tex even helped carry all of our wine purchases.
Perfect host ✨

FANTASTIC DAY had on our wine tour with Tex, great way to celebrate my 50th birthday with a group of 10. He was on time, funny & didn't rush us. Every winery was pre-booked which made the experience easy & relaxing. He recommended the Irish Pub for lunch & I'm glad we took up his recommendation, as it exceeded our expectations. Would use him again & highly recommend. He even put up with our Macedonian singing on the way home;)

As a group of eight friends we had a fantastic day visiting wineries with Tex a couple of weeks ago. The tour was at an enjoyable pace and Tex kept his cool all day even though it was a balmy 48 degrees! Lots of laughs were shared all day and the wine information was very interesting and knowledgeable. We would not hesitate to recommend Tex Tours and also book the tour again some time in the future. Thanks Tex!

Tex picked us up at our Cessnock accomodation for a fun day of wine tasting! He took us to three boutique wineries, a larger winery, cheese and chocolate tasting and a cafe lunch. Tex is a loveable larrikin and organised a great day of wine tasing! He didn’t rush our tastings (even when we chatted for too long) and we had private tastings at each boutique. Thanks for a great day!

We had an amazing day out with Tex Tours for a girl’s weekend. Tex has a great sense of humour and is extremely knowledgeable about everything in the Hunter Valley. His tours are very relaxed and fun, with plenty of jokes along the way. Tex has a great relationship with the wineries and takes you to some lovely places. He is also very much the gentleman and dropped us right at our doorstep after the tour to help us avoid another plover attack. This is the second time I have been with Tex and I would highly recommend his tours! Thanks Tex!

Tex was an amazing guide. Would recommend his tour to anyone looking at wine tours. He was friendly knowledgeable and put up with us all as we started getting a bit rowdy towards the end. He has great go to wineries, but also modifies it, depending on how the day progresses.
He should possibly do a side business in photography :)
Thanks Tex!

Personal service with a genuine Aussie giving you a lighthearted look into a beautiful region. Been on plenty of tours over about 20 years visiting the Hunter and between Tex and maybe only James' tours they both outdo plenty of others on their passion and pride in making the experience great for all involved because it is their business and name at the front of it
