Hunter Valley: Guided Wine Tour + Tastings + Lunch + Transfers

About this experience

Hunter Valley Guided Wine Tour with Tastings and Lunch Explore Australia's oldest wine region on this comprehensive full-day guided tour of the Hunter Valley, combining winery visits, artisan food tastings, a distillery visit, and lunch. Your guide leads the day across three carefully selected boutique wineries, where the hosts present classic semillon and shiraz alongside lesser-known specialities, sharing insights into the region's distinctive terroir and winemaking traditions throughout each visit. The tour extends well beyond the wineries. Your guide also takes the group to sample hand-crafted regional cheeses and gourmet chocolates, and leads a visit to a local distillery where the host presents tastings of vodkas and liqueurs produced on site. Return transfers from Sydney, Newcastle, or the Hunter Valley are included, so you can focus entirely on discovering the flavours that make this wine country special.
