Wine Fairy Events Named Tourism Operator of the Year 2026

We are incredibly proud and honoured to announce that Wine Fairy Events has been awarded Tourism Operator of the Year 2026 at the prestigious Hunter Valley Legends Awards.

Receiving this award is a significant milestone for our small business and a moment we will never forget.

When Wine Fairy Events was launched, the vision was simple: to create memorable wine experiences that connect people with the incredible wineries, winemakers, and stories of the Hunter Valley. From intimate in-home wine tastings and corporate events to private wine tours showcasing hidden gems, every experience has been built around genuine hospitality, education, and a passion for wine.

To be recognised by the Hunter Valley tourism industry as Tourism Operator of the Year is both humbling and rewarding.

A Journey Built on Passion

Fifteen years ago, I arrived in Australia from Germany with a passion for hospitality and wine. Over the years, I had the privilege of working at some of the Hunter Valley's most respected wineries and venues, learning from talented winemakers and industry professionals along the way.

Wine Fairy Events was born from a desire to share those experiences with visitors and locals alike. What started as a small idea has grown into an award-winning business that now hosts private wine tours, mobile wine tastings, corporate events, wine club nights, and bespoke wine experiences across New South Wales.

Thank You

This award would not have been possible without the support of so many people.

Thank you to our wonderful clients who have trusted us to be part of your celebrations, corporate functions, birthdays, hens parties, and special occasions.

Thank you to the Hunter Valley wineries, accommodation providers, venues, and tourism partners who continue to support and collaborate with us.

Most importantly, thank you to my family, friends, and the local Hunter Valley community who have encouraged me every step of the way.

Looking Ahead

Winning Tourism Operator of the Year is not the finish line - it is motivation to continue growing, innovating, and creating exceptional wine experiences.

We remain committed to showcasing the best of the Hunter Valley while helping visitors discover boutique wineries, hidden gems, and unforgettable wine stories.

Whether you're planning a private Hunter Valley wine tour, an in-home wine tasting, a corporate event, or a special celebration, we look forward to sharing a glass of wine with you soon.

Thank you for being part of the Wine Fairy Events journey.

Cheers,

Kat
Founder, Wine Fairy Events
