" My husband and I had an absolutely delightful day with Lisa. Friendly, generous and knowledgeable, she was the perfect guide. We visited a variety of vineyards where we learned about the grapes grown in the region and tasted premium wines. We ate at a wonderful tapas restaurant called The Deck. She chose very scenic routes with beautiful views of the valley and Broken Back Mountains. A huge treat for us was visiting the Ernest Hill Winery where a mob of kangaroo were sitting next to rows of grapevines. Coming from New York City, that was quite an introduction to Hunter Valley. Ross shared delicious wines and was so informative about his process and family history. Lisa was helpful in picking us up and driving us back to Sydney. I know we will reflect on this day as one of our best experiences! "
"Lisa is wonderful! Don't even hesitate to book her for a Hunter Valley wine tour. She made our day so easy and so much fun. We'd planned quite a few winery visits - she handled all the arrangements and managed our itinerary on the day so all we had to do was chat and drink wine! She picked us up in her immaculate car bearing pastries, water bottles and other snacks for sustenance. She knew all the winery owners really well and made sure we were very well looked after. She's also just a gem of a human being. Thank you Lisa! We will definitely be booking a future tour with you. Sarah, Peta & Angela x "
"THE BEST IN THE HUNTER!!
Incredibly spoilt with the greatest tour guide in the Hunter Region. Lisa is magnificent, knowledgeable, and kind. She made our tour an unforgettable experience with her passion for the area and her insights into the best spots in the valley. Every detail was taken care of, and her warm personality made the day truly special. We had the most spectacular time, and we can’t thank Lisa enough. Highly, highly recommend!!"
"We were so lucky to find Lisa who recommended places and helped arrange an amazing ladies wine tour for my 50th! Although it was very last minute Lisa went above and beyond to make everything work for us and it’s our numbers and arrival times. We started off at Petersons for champagne and cupcakes then headed to Latitude 32 for wine and dumpling pairings which was delicious - a must try!
We had an incredible lunch at Voco at Kirkton Park then on to Hanging Tree Wines lastly Bonvilla. To say our glasses were full is an understatement! Lisa is absolutely lovely, her car is very roomy and has special treats for those who get the munchies. Lisa took amazing photos for us throughout the day and surprised us with a video of our fun day.
Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back to the Hunter Valley and
book Lisa again. "
"Wow! I recently had the most incredible experience meeting Lisa on one of her Wine Trail adventures. From the moment I met her, Lisa was incredibly warm and welcoming. Her radiant passion for the local area and wines shone through as she guided us through an unforgettable day.
The entire day was meticulously planned to ensure that we made the most of what the Hunter Valley has to offer. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa's tours to anyone looking for an engaging and fun tour experience for a small group. Every winery we visited was absolutely fantastic and offered its own unique experience and countless photo opportunities. It's the perfect mix of professional networking and social fun.
Thank you, Lisa - you are truly amazing!"
"I've recently had the pleasure to be on one of Lisa's networking tours to the Hunter and enjoyed every minute! She clearly knows and loves the Valley and has a superb knack for making everyone feel welcome, creating a lovely vibe that makes it so easy to connect with everyone in the group. The schedule was packed with great wine experiences but we never felt rushed. There was plenty of time to have a chat with fellow travellers, to find common ground, to learn and hash out ideas. Lisa's extensive connections in the Valley even allowed for impromptu additions to the tour, giving us behind the scenes looks at some of the Hunter's most iconic venues. Great wines, delicious food, insightful company and the natural beauty of the Hunter - what's not to love?"

" Absolutely the best way to see the Hunter Valley, and not just wineries (unless you only want wineries 😉). Lisa is kind, extremely knowledgeable and very generous. She’s always anticipating needs and is so flexible. Amazing value and best way to do it folks, you have a personal driver all day - who is not bound by a strict itinerary!!! You go wherever whenever! Stop looking, the search is over, you’ve found your way to see the Hunter. She’s got the best reputation in the valley and you won’t be disappointed. "
"I have had the distinct pleasure of accompanying Lisa on a handful of tours across the Hunter Valley in the last few months and can not even begin to recommend her and her tours enough.
Her tours are well thought out with a focus on comfort and convenience. Lisa's vast knowledge and the time she has spent researching the Hunter allows her to match wineries to almost any customer, and I believe it is this pursuit of both knowledge and a degree of perfection that sets her apart from other tour operators in the area.
I could not be more impressed with both Lisa and the tours I have been on, and I look forward to going on future tours when time will allow me to do so. If you are looking for someone to showcase the Hunter Valley, you need look no further."
"Wow - What a relaxing weekend. We booked with Lisa for a weekend getaway. A warm and relaxing stay at her bed and breakfast followed by the day eating and drinking our way through the beautiful Hunter Valley boutique wineries. We highly recommend Lisa, she is very knowledgeable and will recommend an itinerary. We can't wait to visit again. Thank you so much!!!"
" Was a great morning and Lisa was the perfect hostess and very knowledgeable. Thank you."
"I hired "Wine Trails with Lisa" while I was visiting Newcastle for a day to Hunter Valley. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Lisa came all the way to Newcastle to pick me up. She was very friendly, warm, helpful, and knowledgeable about Hunter valley area and all the wineries. She gave me so many valuable and excellent suggestions. She went above and beyond to make my trip memorable and interesting. She was very flexible, tailored my trip based on my interests and budget. And she ended up throwing in quite a few extras. I had a great time tasting wine, having coffee, eating in a restaurant, visiting famous Hunter Gardens, and enjoying the spectacular view from the highest lookout! I can’t recommend Lisa enough for sightseeing and tour guides. I wish to come back to Hunter Valley and enjoy Wine Trails with Lisa’s service again!"
