The Narrative
Dave's is Australia's most awarded drinks and food tour operator — a title built across years of running exceptional behind-the-scenes experiences with the people and places that make Australian food and drink culture worth celebrating. In the Hunter Valley, that means boutique wineries, craft distilleries, and the kind of guided tasting experiences that turn a pleasant day out into something genuinely illuminating.
The Grains & Grapes Tour and Taste of the Hunter depart from Newcastle on Saturdays and daily from the Hunter Valley and Sydney, both priced at $225 per person. The day visits three local boutique wineries and a distillery, with guided tastings led by local suppliers at each stop. At select locations, the Dave's team brings chocolates and local cheeses to match the wine — a detail that reflects the operator's gourmet instincts. A relaxed one-course lunch with a glass of wine, beer, or cider is included to let guests properly absorb the valley's charm between venues.
Dave's runs immersive behind-the-scenes access that most tour operators can't arrange — relationships with producers that enable guests to understand how the wine, beer, and spirits they're tasting actually get made. The Hunter Valley's Semillon and Shiraz are the regional anchors, but the craft distillery stop adds a dimension that straightforward wine tours miss entirely.
With 291 reviews averaging 4.9 stars across the Hunter Valley and Newcastle operations, the standard is consistently high.
