Amazing trip! Branko was a brilliant guide who went above and beyond. He gave great restaurant recommendations and dropped me off in a nearby are.The drive in a luxury Mercedes vehicles was delightful and Brank Wines were good and food delicious. We even got to watch the Melbourne Cup at the restaurant! Only issue I have was that there was a mix up regarding pick up points. I was supposed to leave from Sydney but was mistakenly listed as being picked up from Hunter Valley. That said, the overall quality more than made up for it.
