  • Hunter Valley

Overview

Escape the City for a Day of World-Class Wine, Food & Good Vibes in Hunter Valley

Just two hours north of Sydney lies one of Australia’s most beloved wine destinations — and this full-day Hunter Valley wine tour is the ultimate way to experience it. Departing from central Sydney each morning, this guided day trip takes the stress out of planning so you can sit back, sip, and savour everything Australia’s oldest wine region has to offer.

From the moment your friendly guide picks you up from Sydney’s CBD, the adventure begins. Wind through Sydney’s leafy north shore, cross the iconic Harbour Bridge, and watch the city give way to rolling green hills and sprawling vineyards as you arrive in the heart of Hunter Valley. Known for its signature Semillon whites and bold Shiraz reds, this iconic wine country has been delighting visitors for generations — and today, it’s all yours to explore.

Over the course of the day, you’ll visit three iconic wineries and cellar doors, enjoying formal tastings of reds and whites guided by knowledgeable local hosts who bring the stories behind every bottle to life. But this tour goes well beyond wine. Sample artisan cheeses, indulge in rich chocolate pairings, and visit a local distillery to taste hand-crafted spirits including vodka, gin, and schnapps. There’s even a behind-the-scenes winemaking tour, giving you an exclusive look at how Hunter Valley’s celebrated drops are produced from vine to bottle.

Midway through the day, enjoy a relaxed lunch with a complimentary glass of wine or beer, giving you time to recharge before the afternoon tastings. With a small group atmosphere, great music, and guides who make every stop feel like a day out with friends, this isn’t your average tourist experience — it’s a genuine celebration of food, wine, and Hunter Valley culture.

With convenient Sydney CBD pickup points and a safe return to the city by dinner time, this is the perfect day trip from Sydney for wine lovers, foodies, and curious travellers alike. Book your spot today — spaces fill fast.
