My husband and I really enjoyed our Gourmet Food and Wine Tour of the Hunter Valley with Jan, one of the Two Fat Blokes. Jan was a great guide, knowledgeable about all things Hunter Valley and very passionate about the area. We were very lucky to get a great bunch of people on our tour and we simply had a... More

Found Two Fat Blokes Gourmet Tours on the internet when researching our Australia Day getaway for 9 friends. I made contact with Jan Molenaar, one of the Two Fat Blokes, and he was absolutely fantastic to deal with in organising our itinerary and booking. He was our host on the day of our tour - he has a very extensive... More

My husband and I went on the Hunter Gatherer tour during a two night in Pokolbin, and it was delightful way to spend the day . Jan was affable and knowledgable, and he'll tailor the tour to the whims of the group. So, for example, if you really love dessert wines, he'll create some stops specific to that. He gave... More

We have done 2 tours with 2 fat blokes now. The first one was just my husband and I, back in June 2011 and the most recent was in December 2011, with friends from overseas. Needless to say, we enjoyed the first tour otherwise we wouldn't have gone back a second time! The second tour was equally as enjoyable. I... More

We stayed in the Hunter Valley for our 10th wedding anniversary and did the Two Fat Blokes half day wine and food tour. It was a fantastic, small group tour, with visits to a number of well known restaurants and wineries in the area. Peters knowledge of the food and wine was superb and he made the tour both interesting... More

Jan is a terrific tour guide with a great sense of humore. My husband and I ended up on a tour with another couple. By the end of the day, it was easy to be friends with them. We had a day of great wine tasting, the beautiful sights of the valley, information about the wine and other crafters in... More

Myself and a friend went for a long weekend to Hunter for the first time. There was only the two of us on the Hunter Gatherers tour, so we had a fabulous tailored service. Jan was great, he asked us if there was any particular wineries we wanted to visit and we really benefitted from Jan's local status and knowledge... More

You really need to do these tours, they are brilliant. My partner and I go to the Hunter all the time, (I've been going there for the past 36 years). We did this tour and it was only $330 person. Pancakes at Peterson's Champagne House, with about 10 half glasses - tastings of their different champagnes. Then to Brokenwood for... More
