Your driver/guide collects you from your Sydney CBD hotel in the morning and drives to Hunter Valley's central wine district. You'll stop at up to 4 boutique wineries, where you taste different grape varieties and wine styles at each venue; tasting fees are waived if you visit the operator's standard selection. Between or after winery visits, you can add optional stops — a cheese tasting, craft brewery, or spirits distillery — though these cost extra.
