Premium Wine, Cheese and Handmade Chocolates HUNTER VALLEY PRIVATE TOUR
Join us for a gastronomic journey suitable for all lovers of good food and drink from the the wine connoisseur to the newly converted, the traditional beer and whiskey drinker or anyone looking for a unique Australian tasting experience.
Tailor the day to your preferences: indulge in premium single estate hand-crafted wine, pair wine with local cheeses or scrumptious canapes, or try something a little daring and match wine with hand made chocolate.
Change direction and try local gin, vodka, bourbon or single malt whiskey, or try a hazy pale ale or pilsner at a craft brewery.
As another option blend your time with a visit to a wildlife park to pat a koala, hand feed kangaroos and to see the unique Tasmanian devil amongst other animals.
Journey with us over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to both the Hunter Valley's main hub of Pokolbin plus the lesser visited roads of Lovedale and Mount View.
Once you have booked we will contact you to customise and personalise your day.
