What to expect
You'll depart Sydney early morning and head north towards the Hunter Valley. The day moves at a leisurely pace, stopping at three separate wineries where staff will walk you through their current releases and house styles. Between tastings, you'll chat with fellow travellers and absorb the rolling vineyard landscape. Lunch happens mid-tour at the Gardens Village—nothing fancy, just good local food. Cheese or chocolate tastings bridge the gaps between wineries, adding texture to the tasting notes. By late afternoon you'll head back to Sydney, arriving around early evening.
