Hunter Valley TOUR
Australian wine, whiskey, craft beer, chocolates and cheese
Join us for a gastronomic journey suitable for all lovers of good food and drink. From the wine connoisseur to the newly converted, the traditional beer and whiskey drinker or anyone looking for a unique Australian tasting experience, our Hunter Valley tour has something for everyone.
Set in a charming farmland and mountain backdrop the Hunter Valley is Australia’s oldest wine region and is home to nearly 200 wineries, breweries, distilleries and restaurants.
Tailor the day to your preferences: indulge in premium single estate hand-crafted wine, match wine with local cheeses or scrumptious canapes, or try something a little daring and pair wine with hand made chocolate.
Four cornerstone varieties revel in the Hunters ancient soil and scorching hot summers - semillon with a lemon citrus punch, lightly oaked peachy chardonnay, zesty passionfruit rich verdelho, and a medium bodied spicy shiraz. We also visit wineries with creative winemakers experimenting youthful takes on sparkling wine, pinot grigio, chambourcin, cabernet and pinot noir amongst others.
Change direction and try local gin, vodka (made from tomatoes), bourbon or single malt whiskey, or try a hazy pale ale or pilsner at a craft brewery.
As another option blend your time with a visit to a wildlife park to pat a koala, hand feed kangaroos and to see the unique Tasmanian devil amongst other animals.
Journey with us over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, through the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and to both the Hunter Valley's main hub of Pokolbin plus the lesser visited roads of Lovedale and Mount View.
Option to start and end your day in Sydney, the Hunter Valley, Newcastle and the Central Coast.

“Our Hunter Valley tour was a sensory overload!
All four wineries Ben hand selected had a different feel that showed the diversity of the area
with wild kangaroos jumping around one vineyard.”
