Clive is a wine lover with a deep love of the Hunter Valley. He has an immense knowledge of the Australian wine industry, particularly the wine makers and wines of the Hunter Valley. He has been coming to the Hunter Valley since the mid-1980s to visit cellar doors and attend wine functions. His love of wine extends beyond his own personal collection. He enjoys celebrating the history of wine, and discovering new and exciting wine producers.
In 2009 Clive and his wife, Nicki, bought a property in Lovedale allowing them to spend countless weekends and holidays in the valley. They are now fortunate to call the Hunter Valley their home.
Moving permanently in 2019 allowed Clive to establish Heart of Hunter Tours and share his love of the valley and its wines.
Clive holds a WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) Level 3 Award in Wines (Pass with Distinction).
