Already staying in Hunter Valley wine country? On this private tour, the vehicle and guide are yours alone for the day.

No city transfer, no strangers: just your group and a local guide.

Enjoy three seated wine tastings at hand-picked cellar doors, one paired with cheese, chocolate or small bites, plus a small-batch vodka, gin and liqueur tasting. Tell us your favourite wines before the day and we will shape the stops around them.

Lunch is a relaxed hour among the vines at your own cost, and you are home by about 4pm. Ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, hens weekends and family getaways. Runs seven days a week, priced per group. Depending on group size, you will travel in a luxury Mercedes-Benz or our 12-seat Toyota HiAce.
