What to expect
You'll be collected from Sydney and driven into rolling vineyard country for your first tasting at Draytons (established 1853), where staff walk you through their range. Two more stops follow at Tyrrells and Audrey Wilkinson, each with its own character and cellar-door experience. Between tastings, you'll stop at local producers selling cheese and chocolate—buy what appeals or simply browse. Lunch happens mid-tour at Blaxland Inn with a drink included and a menu you choose from on arrival. The pace is unhurried, designed for savouring rather than rushing.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes for walking vineyard grounds. Most dietary needs are catered at lunch, though some premium menu items may cost extra. Any wine, cheese, or chocolate you wish to buy is separate—budget accordingly. Service animals welcome.
