About this tour
A 10–11 hour private wine tour departing Sydney that takes you into the Hunter Valley, Australia's founding wine region. You'll visit up to four wineries of your choosing, sampling varieties like Semillion, Shiraz and Chardonnay, with optional cheese or chocolate pairings. The itinerary flexes around your preferences—pick the estates, the wines, even your lunch spot. An optional detour through Wollombi, a historic village frozen in time, breaks up the drive north.

- Four hand-picked wineries tailored to your grape preferences
- Semillion, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Verdelho and Merlot tastings
- Cheese or chocolate pairing option at selected estates

What to expect
You'll be collected from Sydney early morning and driven north to the Hunter Valley, a two-hour journey. Once there, you'll move between vineyards on your schedule, spending time in cellars and tasting rooms sampling wines you've flagged beforehand. Each winery visit is unhurried—there's no herding through a set route. If Wollombi appeals, you'll arrive mid-morning to wander its quiet main street, chat with locals, and grab coffee before heading to the valley proper. Lunch is on you; your driver can suggest restaurants or drop you where you've already booked. You'll return to Sydney by early evening.
