1 Day Hunter Valley Private Wine Tour

from 0 review

8 - 12 hours

Our Inspiration

Exhilarate your senses on this fascinating private tour of Hunter Valley wine and produce. Just over a two hour drive north west of Sydney, ‘the Hunter’ is steeped by rolling vineyards and olive groves behind a backdrop of craggy mountains. On this fun day we emphasise visiting ‘off the beaten path’ smaller boutique wineries that hand pick fruit from their own estate. We will take a scenic detour from the main motorway and explore the quieter areas of the Hunter.

Depending on the season we can stroll amongst their vineyards, and pick and taste grapes straight from the vine. Sample scrumptious olives infused with herbs, garlic and/ or chilli and local cheese, matching it to wine of course. And treat yourself to pairing local hand made chocolate to wine – a mind blowing sensation.

What You Will Love

• Choice of wineries
• Match wine to a plate of local cheese and olives
• Lunch, with glass of wine (of course)

5 Star Reviews of our Hunter Valley Private Tours

This was a fantastic day. Suzanne and Joe were great, and the booking experience was so easy. Suzanne offered suggestions so I could change our private tour itinerary without any issues, which really uplifted the day.

Our driver, Joe, was so much fun and a real gentleman. He was a great tour guide, never rushed, and even put up with our awful singing.

I recommend that everyone visiting the Hunter contact Suzanne and the team for a private wine tour! My friends and I will definitely be in touch again when we’re back, and hope to have Joe as our driver again! From Laura and the crew – thank you so much again for an amazing time, and much love! We can’t wait to be back!

I just wanted to say a really big thank you for your wonderful, personalised service in organising our wine tour today for my daughter’s hen’s weekend. We have had the best day in the capable hands of Grant ( aka G-dog! aka Sugar Daddy!).

Your prompt and genuine communication was greatly appreciated, and we will all be spreading the word about your awesome business. Next daughter to have a hen’s, we’ll be giving you a call!

We arranged a tour for 24 people over the weekend and had such a great experience! Suzanne is professional, friendly, and very responsive. She was incredibly helpful in finding and booking places, along with tailoring the experience to suit us.

Our driver let us play our music and bring our own drinks, which added to the fun. We needed to pick up supplies, and he went the extra mile to make a stop in town for us. Scott was awesome!

Given the inclusions and the level of service we received, this tour was certainly value for money. I’ll return to Tastes of the Hunter first; next time, I’m looking for a tour in the Hunter!
