Top Hunter Valley Half-day Tours

An ideal taste of what the Hunter Valley has to offer. Perfect for people who are in the region for only a limited amount of time. We visit 3 boutique wineries for a private tasting of their delicious wines. At one stop we will conduct our famous cheese & wine masterclass where we teach you to match 9 different cheeses with 9 different wines. Our tours are informative, professional, fun, and our tour partners offer great wines and look after our guests very well.

Explore the art of food and drink pairing, with a designated driver on hand, as you feast your way through the Hunter Valley on this curated door-to-door tour. Start with cheese and wine pairing; continue with a chef’s tasting plate, matched wines, and tutored wine tasting; pair whiskeys with savory and sweet dishes; then sample artisan chocolates with premium wines and yet more tastings. Your palate will thank you.

We love organised tours (we even offer a few!), but there is something special about designing your own day tour. This product is for those who have a group of buddies or family and want to spend the day exclusively with them. The choices are yours. Choose your lunch venue. Choose from boutique and commercial wineries. Just quietly, we find most of our private passengers like the boutique :) And if you decide you want to stop off somewhere for an encounter with the kangaroos, we are down with that, too.

What do you enjoy? Well.. You can have it all in this packed Half Day Tour visiting a trio of different venues on a tasting adventure with a difference! Enjoy local premium wines and produce, “get blind” on a Mystery Tasting and cap it all off with a delicious lunch served with your choice of either local craft beers or wines.

Savor the flavors of Hunter Valley on an evening tour of the region's wine-producing heritage and thriving micro-brewery scene. Complimentary transportation beginning and ending at your hotel allows you to relax and avoid the hassle of drawing straws for a designated driver. Enjoy a guided tasting at a family-run winery, where you get an exclusive look at production and learn the delicate art of wine and cheese pairing, sample craft beer at a local brewery, and enjoy dinner at an award-winning restaurant.

We are your exclusive private guide to the Hunter Valley. I offer you the choice to pre-select the venues or pre-plan your day for you. With my local knowledge I will share information about the Hunter Valley and share locations with you that are of interest. The best part about this tour is that it's flexible and relaxed so you can enjoy the day at your own pace. I also have bottled water available if you need and have taken all precaution in line with Covid regulations. Please note that due to Covid. Saturday bookings will be pre-planned to optimise your experience with some flexibility if time permits.
