Hunter Valley Food and Wine Tasting from Sydney

Join us for an exciting winery tour of the Hunter Valley, where you’ll tantalise your tastebuds with some of Australia’s finest food, wine and spirits. If you’re looking for fun things to do in the Hunter Valley or day trips from Sydney, this ticks all the boxes!

Leaving from either Central or Circular Quay, your tour guide will pick you and your group up in a fully air-conditioned bus, ready to visit the Hunter Valley.

On arrival in the Hunter Valley, we'll pay a visit to three beautiful wineries and a local distillery, where you’ll be given a guided tour by a local expert at each stop - and we’ll even give you a sneak peek behind the scenes at selected locations.

You’ll complete your wine tasting experience with complimentary chocolates and delectable local cheeses, so you can sample the unique flavours of Australia’s first wine region.

As well as spending time wine tasting and enjoying delicious handcrafted produce, you’ll also be able to enjoy a single course lunch with local wine, beer or cider, while overlooking the breathtaking scenery of the Valley.

You'll head back to Sydney with newfound wine knowledge and some wonderful memories!
