What to expect

Your day begins with hotel collection in central Sydney, then a relaxed 2.5-hour drive north. At each of three wineries, producers or their teams walk you through their operation—barrel rooms, fermentation facilities, the decisions behind each vintage. You'll taste wines thoughtfully, learning soil types and vintage variations without hard selling. Mid-morning and mid-afternoon, water and light refreshments keep you settled. Around midday, you'll choose your lunch from a local restaurant menu, with a drink included. Throughout, kangaroos may graze near the vines. The pace is deliberately unhurried; this is about understanding the region, not ticking boxes.
