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.

I highly recommend doing a tour with Pippa! We were going to Hunter Valley for a festival that was cancelled last minute. Every winery tour was booked up so quickly and Pippa was the first contact that went out of her way to make it work and accomidate our large group of 12. Especially considering a lot of venues don't want large groups with covid restrictions. She was very easy to communicate with, was very transparent and even took photos for us at every venue (6 of them). The photos were amazing as well!
Our tour was a full day one which included four wineries, a cheese/chocolate tour (which is a must) and a distillery. All venues were brilliant and the people were histerical. I am definitely calling Pippa again for another tour when im back in the Valley (she said she would change the iteneray for us so it would be a totally new experience). Love her!!

Could not recommend Pippa enough!
She organized the perfect boutique winery trip: taking us to places you can't find in your local bottle shop, and getting to know the best the hunter has to offer.
She coordinated with my (now) fiance so that he would be able to propose in the most beautiful place overlooking the vineyards.
And even after her tour was over, she helped us look for our sunnies and sent them to Sydney with a personalized note.
We will be coming back to the Hunter and look forward to being on another tour with Pippa to continue exploring the hidden gems of the region!

Pippa was a great tour guide... with knowledge, humor & music. We all enjoyed a sing song as we travelled around the Hunter Valley. We thoroughly enjoyed the wineries, lunch, Small Mouth Gin/Vodka, cheese & chocolate shops & in general a full day of fun. Pippa was most accommodating & even a.great photographer! Thanks Pippa

Definitely book with Pippa! The boutique wineries were gorgeous but what most stood out was Pippa’s ability to change up the tour once she learnt our (well more my fuss dads) wine preferences. Super lucky and ended up having a private wine tour as we were the only booking on a Monday. Pippa was easy to contact and speedy and efficient responding to any questions in the lead up plus, was on time to collect us which doesn’t seem important to me but it’s a big thing for my dad! Also I love that she’s a female!! Support ladies in business 💪👊

Pippa was amazing, very knowledgeable, didn't rush at all at any point so we really felt like it was our day. She took us to the most amazing places, most were a bit smaller so not so often visited which was an amazing experience. Highly recommend!!

Pippa went all out to get a tour together for my group of 3 friends at the start of the Hunter reopening mid October. We visited some great boutique wineries and she was very flexible with offering a variety places to go at short notice. Pippa’s knowledge of the history of the Hunter was excellent and she has a very friendly easygoing manner. Her vehicle was also a comfy ride.

We had such a great time with Pippa! As not entirely inexperienced wine connoisseurs from Germany, the tour was totally worth it. We gained all kinds of new insights into wine tasting and making by visiting a variety of different great vineyards. We can highly recommend booking a tour with Pippa - she's the best! Thank you very much - Katrin & Hanna

Pippa was an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. My husband and I took a tour with her on a Monday and we got the chance to visit 4 fantastic boutique wineries and one vodka & gin distillery. Pippa seems to be very flexible and to accomodate personal preferences and requests but if you’re open to it I would recommend trusting Pippa and letting her take you to her favourite places.

This is our third wine tour booked with Hunter Valley Boutique Wine Tours. We keep coming back to Boutique Wine Tours as Pippa is not only a fantastic host, but as a local she puts together a selection of different "boutique" wineries for us to visit each time.
The wineries are always excellent and are places we would never have found on our own. Lunch was fantastic at a local restaurant - so much food which we brought left overs home for dinner. After lunch, as we were a small group, Pippa gave us some choices of what to visit next which we appreciated. We chose the Hunter Valley Distillery (!!) and the Chocolate/Cheese shop. Thank you for a great day !

Our go to Wine Tour operator for when we visit the Hunter - currently our 5th Wiune Tour since 2012. Pippa provides a tailored experience, introducing us to new wineries, cheese, chocolate and distilleries this latest tour. On time, reliable, considerate of our elderly travel companion providing pro-active assistance. We did the 4 hour tour this time - focussing on the wineries.

We are a party of 6 adults and 4 children (12-16yrs) would this be feasible for a day tour?
Written 11 May 2015
Possibly true on all accounts
However: I have had many children aboard from only couple of weeks to teenagers !
All went ok and I found some things for the kids too !
