Private, all-inclusive Hunter Valley wine experience not a standard group tour. Visit four handpicked wineries, enjoy some cheese, a wine and savoury pie pairing, and finish with a guided wine and chocolate tasting.

Hi, I’m Sabina.
We begin with pickup from Sydney and a scenic drive through Wollombi Valley, with a relaxed stop in one of the region’s oldest villages.

You’ll visit a mix of historic and boutique wineries. Taste classic Hunter Semillon, explore Shiraz or Chardonnay, and understand why each wine tastes the way it does.

I’m passionate about the Hunter, with years of experience in hospitality and working with people. I’ve run my own restaurant, organised weddings, and completed WSET Levels 1 and 2 in wine and spirits, so I’ll guide you through the day in a way that feels personal, and easy to enjoy.

Everything is included. No extra costs, no rushed stops just a seamless, premium day.

    We’ll take the scenic route to Hunter Valley via the iconic Tourist Drive 33 — a beautiful beginning to a day designed for connection, curiosity, and slowing down — just winding roads, open skies, and changing landscapes that set the tone for the day ahead. With a small group and a flexible approach, this experience feels more like a road trip with new friends than a typical tour. It's all about the kind of travel that leaves room for stories, spontaneity, and soul.

    Hunter Valley

    You begin at one of the Hunter’s most historic family wineries, established in 1858. This is where the region’s story starts. You’ll taste classic, savoury, dry wines made from some of the oldest producing vines in the country, including their signature Semillon, known for its fresh citrus notes that develop beautifully with age. It’s not about trends here, it’s about tradition, balance, and understanding what makes this region unique.

    Vinery 2. We shift into something bolder. You’ll explore big reds and compare Shiraz or Chardonnay from different Australian regions, getting a real sense of how climate and terroir shape flavour. Not just a drink, but something you actually experience and understand.

    And then, a sweet finish. Enjoy a guided wine and chocolate pairing, where flavours are carefully matched to bring out the best in both. From lighter wines with delicate chocolate to richer reds with deeper notes, it’s a relaxed and indulgent way to end the day.
