Two Fat Blokes Gourmet Tours inducted into TripAdvisor Hall of Fame
We are immensely proud to announce that Two Fat Blokes Gourmet Tours has been inducted into TripAdvisor “Hall of Fame”.
This award is the culmination of years of dedication to contribute to the Hunter Valley’s tourism industry.
Two Fat Blokes Gourmet Tours was first rewarded a TripAdvisor “Certificate of Excellence” in 2011 and has been awarded this award every year since.
Two Fat Blokes Gourmet Tours is the only Hunter Valley based tourism operator that has won this award consistently every year for the past 8 years since 2011.
We were also the first New South Wales tour operator outside Sydney to reach over 1,000 5-Star Tripadvisor reviews. This puts us in the same league as “Bridge climb” , “Scenic world” in the Blue Mountains and “Moonshadow Cruises” in Port Stephens.
The company was started in 2008 by 2 friends who shared a passion of great food, great wines and the joy of sharing this with others. The first 2 years were definitely driven by passion, since there was certainly no money in it, but, we were having a ball, showing off the beautiful Hunter Valley to visitors from all over the world. Whatever we were doing in those early days, it certainly resonated with our clients and local businesses, since we were getting busier & busier to the point where we were in a position to give up other jobs and concentrate on growing the business and invest more money in acquiring more vehicles. Our fleet has grown from owing 1 old, but luxurious, 7-seat van to a fleet of 10 late model and brand new vehicles.
So, to be inducted in the TripAdvisor Hall of Fame is the best 10-year birthday present we could ever hope for.
We could not have achieved the success we are enjoying without great local support.
Wineries, Cellar door outlets, restaurants and all the professional and dedicated staff now and over the past 10 years who have helped us enjoy the success we have all worked hard for.
And of course we cannot forget our loyal guests, many of whom have been on 3 or 4 Two Fat Blokes Gourmet Tours and keep coming back for more.
To get an understanding of our staff’s dedication to their jobs you need only read the huge 1,300+ 5-star reviews that praise the talents of our tour guides. And
Owners Jan & Julie Molenaar thank not just our guides but all support staff from the bottom of our hearts. We have had a lot of fun and continuously change or introduce our tours to keep up with trends and with the ever changing & vibrant Hunter Valley. To keep up with all this, you can only do this if you live locally and drink lots of outstanding Hunter Valley wine and eat lots of outstanding food from so many fantastic restaurants we can choose from. It’s an occupational hazard, but somebody has to do it.
Our very popular Cheese & wine experience has recently had a make-over and we now give our clients 9 the best of local and international cheeses matched with great Hunter Valley wines.
We are currently serving 1,500 clients each month and are finding it difficult to keep up with demand.
BUT, this is only the start of what we will have to offer our loyal & new guests. We are about to embark on an ambitious building program to increase a whole new world of different Two Fat Blokes attractions. Without giving too much away, it will include new food & beverage & cheese outlets, accommodation, virtual reality, gardens, animals and a whole lot more. We look forward to welcoming you all to our very exciting, brand new premises very soon.
