....Jason retiring. I was lucky enough to have Jason as a guide when he was with another company back in 2009, and could not resist spending another day with this charming man. As before his talent was to bring a diverse group of people together very quickly; then, as friends, we enjoyed visiting small wineries owned and run by passionate,... More

Jason (or Jayo as we were calling him) is everything you could want in a wine tour guide. Passionate about his wine, extremely knowledgeable, approachable and great at breaking the ice between the passengers with his constant banter. We had a great day with him and would highly recommend his (as has everyone else on this website as you can... More

What makes this wine tour one of the best I've been on are three things: 1. The small group - I believe his max is 8 people. You get to relax, socialize and basically take your day at your pace. 2. The boutique wineries. Jason doesn't take you to the run-of-the mill wineries. He chooses small, unique wineries where you... More

Jason takes great pride in making the wine-tasting experience enjoyable for the group and for every individual. We had a group of 9 awesome people from around the world and by the end of the trip we were buddies. The private tastings Jason arranged were greatly informative. The owners/winemakers at the vineyards gave us great insight into their wines and... More

From the moment Jason picked us from our hotel, he had us involved in a chatty forum with the other "wine tasters". This immediately made for a relaxed atmosphere and set us up for the journey from Sydney to the Hunter Valley. During the travel there, Jason kept up a stream of information on the area, the wine, the characters... More

This was an absolutely great day, one or our best wine tours, and we have done many. Jason is great with a running stream of facts and tidbits. And the side trips to see kangaroos and get gelato were much appreciated. Lunch at oscar's was also great. But Jason plans to retire at the end of April, with only a... More

Jason took us to some great boutique vineyards and we got to see the best of the hunter valley as a location as well. Jason was particularly keen to show us some of the countryside as well as the vineyards. I was particularly keen to gain an understanding of the Australian wine making scene, and Jason provided me with all... More

Absolutely amazing day. Our group was a mixture of couples, families and singletons (like me) but everyone was really friendly and Jason got us all chatting and relaxed in no time at all. I was shotgun (through choice due to being prone to travel sickness), but Jason ensured I was included in the conversations happening behind us. It's a long... More

- Pros: Knowledgeable and entertaining host. Beautiful scenery. Great tasting and hosts at boutique wineries. - Cons: It only lasts a day! I was skeptical. Optimistic about a day with Jason touring boutique wineries in the Hunter Valley, but with difficulty believing the unanimous thumbs-up verdict given to him by Trip Advisor travelers. How often do you see such a... More
