What to expect
You'll be picked up and driven through the Hunter Valley in a climate-controlled vehicle. The itinerary focuses on smaller boutique wineries rather than large commercial operations. At each stop, you'll taste a range of wines — typically semillon, chardonnay, shiraz and other Australian varieties — guided by knowledgeable staff at each cellar door. The day is structured around your interests and the winery's opening hours.
You'll have time to chat with winemakers or staff, ask questions about production, and purchase bottles if you wish. The tour runs 8 to 12 hours depending on how many stops you make and how long you spend at each. You'll return to Sydney by late afternoon or early evening.

Good to know
This suits wine drinkers wanting to move beyond flagship wineries and discover smaller, lesser-known producers in a private setting. Groups up to 7 people share the cost of the vehicle, making it efficient for friends or families travelling together. Because it's private, you can adjust stops and timing on the day. Note that lunch is not included — you'll need to either arrange it at a winery or bring provisions. The full day is long; factor in drive time from Sydney (roughly 2 hours each way). Public transport to Hunter Valley is available if you prefer not to book the private option.
