Hunter Valley Brewery Tour from Sydney

If you’re looking for cool things to do in the Hunter Valley, and you’re a fan of delicious handcrafted beers, you’ll love our Hop Hunter brewery tour. You’ll have the opportunity to take in the breathtaking scenery while sampling some of the freshest craft ciders and beers from the region.

On our exciting brewery tour, we’ll visit three craft breweries, and our expert guides will take you behind the scenes so you can see where the artisan beers are lovingly produced. You’ll spend time taste-testing the huge range of beverages and see the best of what the Hunter region has to offer.

Where you may go (this is subject to change):

• Foghorn Hunter
• Lovedale Brewery
• Hope Estate
• Ironbark Hill Brewhouse

You’ll also be able to take time out from beer tasting to relax and take in the magnificent Hunter Valley scenery, as we provide you with an appetizing one-course lunch full of delicious local produce and refreshments. If you’re a beer or cider connoisseur, it’s one of the best things to do in the Hunter Valley region!
