What to expect
You'll leave Sydney early morning in a comfortable, climate-controlled vehicle with your group. The drive north winds through bushland and crosses the Hawkesbury—a good time to settle in and chat with your driver. Once in the valley, you'll pull up to several smaller wineries where staff walk you through their stock and the methods behind it. Between stops, you'll taste cheese, olives, or other local foods depending on your interests. If you've chosen a sit-down lunch, that happens mid-day at a restaurant venue. Otherwise, you'll graze as you go. The pace is relaxed; there's no rushing between tastings.
