Hens Party in the Hunter Valley
We took 20 excited Sydney ladies to the Hunter Valley for a fun weekend out tasting wine, cheese, chocolate, and organic vodka. We tailored the package to include tastings from some fun vineyards in the Hunter Valley as well test tube tasting Schnapps, organic vodka, and liqueurs from Hunter Distillery.
Corporate Team Building Functions in the Hunter Valley
We took the CBA Premier Banking Team for a Hunter Valley wine, cheese, chocolate, and organic vodka day trip. They approached us to organise a fun day out as a reward for winning business banking branch of the year. They really appreciated that we selected award winning wineries that fitted the occasion perfectly.
Birthday Parties in the Hunter Valley
We took a group of 11 for a exclusive private Hunter Valley Birthday tour with a twist. We organised a wine cheese and organic vodka tour with a bonus lunch stop at hope estate for Ocktoberfest. The group loved doing tasting of the 10 beers they now have on tap at Hope Estate Brewhouse.
