From Sydney: Hunter Valley Boutique Winery Tour - Lunch Included

Cross the Harbour Bridge
and head to Hunter Valley wine country

Depart from Mercure Sydney in central Sydney and cross the Harbour Bridge with views of Sydney Harbour on the way to the Hunter Valley. Travel in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus while your driver-guide shares commentary about the region. The Hunter Valley is famous for Semillon and also produces varieties such as Shiraz, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Verdelho.

Taste wine at boutique cellar doors

Stroll through the vineyards and visit handpicked boutique cellar doors for wine tastings, with two tastings before lunch and one in the afternoon. Wineries are chosen from those the operator frequently visits, such as Ernest Hill Wines, Hanging Tree Wines, Irongate Estate and Savannah Estate, depending on group size and local conditions.

Have lunch in Hunter Valley Village
and taste cheese

Enjoy a café-style lunch at Cypress Lakes with views of Hunter Valley Village. After lunch, browse boutique shops and galleries, and taste local cheeses with a cheesemaking talk at the Hunter Valley cheese factory. Time permitting, you can also visit the Hunter Valley Chocolate Company, The British Lolly Shop, a Hunter Valley liqueur shop or The Garden Cellars; additional tastings are at your own expense.

End the day with a tasting
led by a vineyard representative

Finally, at one of the operator's favorite boutique cellar doors, enjoy a guided tasting of a range of wines led by a vineyard representative. On the way back, stop at a rest area for a break. The tour ends around 6:30 PM near George Street, close to Sydney Central Station.
