Dave's Tours Hunter Valley & Newcastle

Dave's Tours operates out of Darby Street in Cooks Hill, the heart of Newcastle's cafe-and-dining scene, running guided tours of the Hunter Valley wine country and the Newcastle region. With a near-flawless reputation, it's become a much-loved way to explore the area's wineries, breweries and highlights without having to worry about driving or planning.

The appeal is that combination of local knowledge, a relaxed and personal touring experience and the convenience of being driven around the region's best cellar doors and attractions, ideal for a special day out, a group celebration or visitors wanting to see the Hunter properly. The near-perfect feedback speaks to genuinely well-run, enjoyable tours.

A 4.9 rating from nearly 300 reviews is an excellent result and a strong endorsement. Tour options, itineraries, inclusions, pricing and availability vary, and a popular operator books out over weekends and peak periods, so it's well worth checking current details and getting in touch directly to book ahead — particularly if you're planning around a specific date, a group, or a special occasion in the Hunter.
