About this tour
Explore Hunter Valley's vineyards on a fully customised private tour led by Clive, a lifelong valley resident since 2019. This 6–7 hour experience suits couples and small groups up to four people, with no fixed route—you decide the pace, wineries, and focus. Travel in a cool, comfortable vehicle with bottled water included. Clive fields questions freely and shapes each day around your interests, whether you're chasing Shiraz education or simply want to discover lesser-known cellar doors at your own rhythm.

What to expect
Clive collects you and you chart the day together. Hit whichever cellar doors call to you—some famous, some quiet. He'll introduce you to winemakers, explain what's in your glass, and steer you toward hidden gems. You'll spend around 90–120 minutes breaking for lunch (book ahead or let Clive suggest somewhere). Between tastings, the valley rolls past: vineyards, heritage homes, rolling hills. Clive talks freely but never dominates; the tour stays at your tempo. Tasting fees apply at cellar doors but Clive won't mark them up.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes for cellar-door walks. Tasting fees vary by winery—ask Clive upfront. Lunch isn't included; budget accordingly. Pick-up from some accommodation types requires confirmation. Service animals welcome.
