Tony Judge provided an excellent and person centric service and as a result our trip ran like clockwork. He has been attentive and it has been a first class service.
My sister and I felt that we were in good hands. Thank you for making it so easy!
Excellent arrangements as ever. Will be in touch when arranging more flights
Fantastic trip, many thanks Isaac once again for all the bookings and your help.
Perfect. Will not hesitate to book with you again
Paying extra for seats worked well. Thank you for your speedy and effective booking. I always recommend you to friends.
Very helpful - made booking trip to Australia easy.
Someone to talk to at the end of a phone in seconds with no auto answer menu is greatly appreciated and sets the tone for a DialAFlight experience.
Very disappointed with the flight from KL to PERTH. Fell way short of business class standards. The matter was relayed to Malaysian Airlines who were going to investigate these issues, that was a month ago with little response. Many thanks for the way you organised my flights.
Thank you so much for the excellent customer service. Communication was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely use DialAFlight again and will recommend to our friends and family.
Visa instructions for Australia could do with a little more guidance otherwise arrangements for another excellent trip were provided by DialAFlight.
Good to know we had someone available if we needed it but things went so well that we didn’t. Will be back for the next flight!
I always contact them to arrange whatever I need for my holiday. Well done and a huge thank you to Megan who had the patience of a saint when looking for our flights.
It was all fantastic, definitely come to DialAFlight again
Couldn't fault the service, thank you.
Gino was fantastic - our big trip went like clockwork and the whole holiday was stress free. Recommend highly .
Brilliant service - will always use you guys
All flights and hotel/apartment reservations were excellent and we had a super time. It was really useful to have the app itinerary to constantly refer to.
Thank you for organising our flights - brilliant service - thank you very much
My booking with DialAFlight was a seamless experience. My queries regarding my booking were answered by Ray who was very approachable and easy to contact in person. I was initially very nervous about my trip to Australia and Ray helped massively to allay my fears about the booking and the trip in general. All of his advice was accurate and I can not recommend them more highly.
Great trip, Ash, thanks for your help.
I always contact DAF for my trips to Australia or other exotic places and you are always great! Superb deals, great communication by phone, email or app - excellent response time when for example I had about 10 seconds to organise a visa! I have always recommended you and genuinely will be back next year - can I go to Vietnam please?
Amelia is always great to deal with, she is reassuring and super efficient.
Always helpful and available.
Total travel time of 36 hours to Australia far too long. Lufthansa Business Class not as good as Emirates.
Very professional. Excellent job by Robbie Karbhari.
Great service and peace of mind when booking with DialAFlight. We are now looking at our next holiday
Ash dealt with all changes professionally, efficiently and in a friendly manner.
All flights and trips fell into place, thank you.
Next time we do Australia we will choose flights that are on A 380 for both legs. So much better that B777 for business class.
You can raise a glass or two on this wonderful Australian journey through the wine regions of New South Wales, during which you will visit lots of famous wineries and get to sample their finest produce as well as the region’s epicurean delights . On this self drive trip, which begins and ends in the stunning city of Sydney, you stay in luxurious accommodation and have plenty of time for sightseeing between all those memorable vineyard visits.
Day 1 Sydney
Your New South Wales wine adventure begins in Sydney and on arrival at the airport you are met by one of our tour representatives for a private car transfer to your hotel in the city. You will be staying for the next three nights at the luxurious Intercontinental, which is a great base from which to explore. Situated in Circular Quay, the hotel boasts picture frame views of the city skyline, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House or the Royal Botanic Garden. Relax after the journey then head out to explore all the famous sights as well as the vast number of restaurants and bars which are conveniently right on your doorstep.
Day 2 Urban Wine Experience
Another day to relax and see more of the city before or after going on a Sydney Urban Wineries Taste and Tour excursion. You are taken to a winery where the head winemaker will teach you everything about the wine making process. At the end of the tour you arrive at a tasting table where you can sample six different New South Wales wines while enjoying a meat and cheese platter. Then as a souvenir, take away a bottle of wine to remember the experience.
Day 3 Sydney
Take a break from wine tasting today and travel around the city seeing the famous sights. No visit is complete without stopping at the iconic Sydney Opera House for a tour, walking around Circular Quay and Darling Harbour and visiting Bondi Beach. Other activities you could enjoy on this free day are a boat trip around the harbour or join other intrepid visitors on an adrenaline-pumping BridgeClimb.
Day 4 Orange
Today you can see more of the sights in Sydney and possibly check out the shops and some other beaches, before beginning the three and a half hour drive to Orange, where you will be staying for the next two nights at the Oriana, an old motel that has been converted into a fashionable four star property with an amazing restaurant called the Peacock Room. Relax after the drive and the rest of the day and evening is free.
Day 5 Orange
A free day to discover the many charms of Orange. Many places in Australia have a colourful past and Orange, not just because of its name, is one of them. The town bustles with culture and a sense of generosity that is typical of this part of New South Wales. Today you also have the option of visiting Rowlee Wines for an organised tour, or one of no fewer than 80 other wineries that have sprung up in the region with over 40 cellar doors. Foodies will also be spoilt for choice with excellent restaurants including award-winning Racine, Lolli Redini and Tonic.
Day 6 Mudgee
Leave the Oriana this morning and see some more of the sights in Orange before beginning the two and a half hour drive to Mudgee where you check in to the Evanslea Luxury Boutique cottage for a two night stay. Mudgee is known for its colonial buildings and historic town centre. If you’re feeling peckish, some of Mudgee’s best wineries have excellent restaurants, including di Lusso, Lowe Wines, Moothi Estate Vineyards and Robert Oatley Vineyards.
Day 7 Mudgee
A full day to relax and enjoy this typical Aussie country town. There are lots of wineries in the town itself, as well as the surrounding countryside, and most of them welcome visitors and offer tours and tastings. This whole area has a country charm and epicurean delights, thanks to its flourishing food and wine scene, but if you are feeling energetic another option today is to go for a bike ride around picturesque Lawson Park, on the banks of the Cudgegong River.
Day 8 Hunter Valley
This morning after breakfast you leave Mudgee and drive to the famous Hunter Valley for a memorable experience called Picnic Amongst the Wines. Begin with a tour around the on-site museum at the Audrey Wilkinson Cellar Door, followed by a masterclass and premium tasting with a wine expert. Then collect your bottle of wine and picnic hamper and choose your spot for a picnic among the vines. Tonight's accommodation in the Hunter Valley is the Kirkton Park Hotel.
Day 9 Hunter Valley
A Two Fat Blokes vehicle will pick you up this morning to begin a full day Uncork the Hunter tour. This excursion is the result of the company's 10 years of experience and everything, including lunch and a chocolate and wine pairing, is included. Enjoy multiple wine tastings and to round off a great day you are taken on a tour of a local brewery to finish with a few cold refreshing beers. After a memorable day you are dropped off at your hotel.
Day 10 Sydney
Your final drive of the tour today when you leave the Hunter Valley and head back to Sydney, which takes around three hours. After returning your hire car you can then stay on for a few days and see more of the sights, catch a flight to another part of Australia, or begin your journey home. This tour around the famous wineries of New South Wales is perfect for wine buffs and foodies or anybody wanting to get a fascinating insight into the wine regions of New South Wales.
