What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven to three separate wineries in air-conditioned comfort. The tour opens with a welcome tasting—sparkling paired with warm gourmet pies. At one venue, you'll access the barrel room to taste directly from the source before bottling. Mid-tour brings a blind tasting where you guess varietals whilst working through a cheese and charcuterie spread. Between stops you'll chat with your knowledgeable guide about Hunter Valley's winemaking heritage. Expect roughly two hours of actual tasting spread across the venues, with travel time between sites. By the end, you'll have a clearer sense of the region's signature styles.
