With Hunter Valley wine country right on my door step, I am a true local and I love what I do with a passion.
I have a great enthusiasm for quality boutique wine, where possible made from Hunter Valley fruit.
Do you know the answers to these questions?
Why does the shape of the wine glass affect how we perceive the flavor of a wine?
How can a wine that smells sweet taste dry?
Why does some wine go so well with certain types of food?
How can perception of flavor be affected by season, circumstance and temperature?
Why does climate, soil type, geographical region and wine making style affect the flavor of a particular variety of wine grape?
Good wine has so many mysterious complex characters.
Understanding wine, food matching and our human response to flavor, can be life changing and very exciting.
Wine made from Hunter Valley fruit is an incredible stand out in the world of wine, with some of our regionally specific Hunter Valley wines that rate as the best in the world.
This is a HUGE call to make.
Australia only supplies about 4% of the worlds wine per Anum.
Despite being Australia’s biggest wine region we are also Australia’s smallest wine producer.
The Hunter Valley only contributes about 2 to 4% to Australia’s annual wine production!
I would love to tell you WHY Hunter Valley wine is so special!
Wine is FUN, wine is DELICIOUS, wine is PERSONAL.
Good wine is AMAZING.
Through engaging my passion for great wine, I have developed many relationships with cellar door managers, winemakers and Grape Farmers in the Hunter Valley region.
As a small local wine tour operator we able to offer a number of services that bigger companies may not be able to offer.
We have access to personal private tasting experiences where you get to meet the farmers and wine makers in person and learn about the Hunter Valley from the inside!
Our flexible private wine tours will take you to Hunter Valley wines that suit your tastes, and we will meet you where you are at in your wine journey.
Good wine and good experience flow together like honey and gold.
We take pictures of your experience and make it available for free for you to download.
Let me share my knowledge, excitement and connections with you!
