点评:We were collected by Gary, who was friendly and punctual. I had to confirm our pick up time via text as it was never confirmed the night prior as per your booking confirmation. The bus for our tour was really dated.
Stop 1 was Gartelman Wines, which was good at best. The host was very friendly, but the wines weren't great. Didn't match the small boutique cellar we expected.
Stop 2 was Blueberry Hill, which was excellent, perfect setting, great wine and lovely host. This was the type of cellar door experience we expected for the tour.
Stop 3 was Fat Cow, which was terrible. Felt like a canteen with a rushed selection of cheese and chocolate, when we were told about the slushies for sale as we sat down it was down hill from there. A cellar door that does wine and cheese, which would have been alot more appropriate.
Stop 4 Roche Estate/Japanese restaurant for lunch, again terrible. The place felt like a motorway service station. Unknown to us, we were prebooked into a Japanese/Thai indoor restaurant that was like a dark cave. We expected somewhere with a view, nice food and wine for a lunch in Hunter.
Stop 5 Roche Estate/McGuigan, which was a new indoor cellar door but isn't the boutique experience we were expecting.
Stop 6 was McLeish, which again was really poor, the winery was dated and the tasting experience was like being back at school getting spoken to like children.
Stop 7 was Small Mouth for a Gin, Vodka & Liquer tasting which was terrible. 10 glitter filled tasters is the last thing we wanted after a day of wineries, with signs everywhere that it was free was a poor ending to an underwhelming day.
Our tour consisted of a 5 and 6 person group, however we appeared to be booked into everything as a 11person group including lunch which didnt allow splitting bills. Our experience didn't feel like a private tasting of boutique cellar door experience as advertised. The selection of wineries chosen really missed the mark and felt cheap. There was no experience from Gary in terms of a tour of the region as we drove between wineries or what to expect generally or from each winery we visited, it was essentially a mystery taxi service.
Following our experience I wouldn't recommend Cheers for a winery tour in Hunter, unless the venues significantly improved
翻译:加里来接我们,他很友好而且准时。我必须通过短信确认我们的接送时间,因为根据您的预订确认,前一天晚上从未确认过。我们旅行的巴士真的很过时。
第一站是 Gartelman Wines,这家酒厂非常不错。主人非常友好,但酒不是很好。与我们预期的小型精品酒窖不符。
第二站是蓝莓山 (Blueberry Hill),那里非常棒、完美的环境、美味的葡萄酒和可爱的主人。这就是我们这次旅行所期待的酒窖体验。
第三站是 Fat Cow,太糟糕了。感觉就像一个食堂,里面有匆忙选择的奶酪和巧克力,当我们坐下来时被告知有待售的冰沙,那是从那里开始的下坡路。一个储藏葡萄酒和奶酪的酒窖,这会更合适。
4 站 Roche Estate/日本餐厅吃午餐,同样很糟糕。这个地方感觉就像一个高速公路服务站。我们不知道的是,我们被提前预订到了一家日本/泰国室内餐厅,就像一个黑暗的洞穴。我们期待在亨特的某个风景优美、有美味佳肴和美酒的地方吃午餐。
第 5 站 Roche Estate/McGuigan,这是一个新的室内酒窖,但并不是我们期待的精品体验。
第六站是麦克利什(McLeish),这里又很穷,酒庄已经过时了,品酒体验就像回到学校,像孩子一样和人说话。
第七站是小嘴酒吧,品尝了杜松子酒、伏特加酒和利口酒,味道很糟糕。在参观了一天的酒庄之后,我们最不想看到的就是 10 个闪闪发光的品酒师,到处都有免费的标志,这对平淡无奇的一天来说是一个糟糕的结局。
我们的旅行团由 5 人和 6 人组成,但是我们似乎是作为 11 人团体预订的一切,包括午餐,不允许分摊账单。我们的经历并不像广告上所说的那样是私人品尝精品酒窖的体验。所选择的酒庄确实没有达到预期目标,而且感觉很便宜。当我们在酒庄之间开车时,加里没有在该地区游览方面的经验,或者一般或我们参观的每个酒庄的预期,这本质上是一种神秘的出租车服务。
根据我们的经验,我不会推荐干杯去亨特的酒庄之旅,除非场地有显着改善
