What to expect

Your guide collects you early morning from your Sydney hotel and drives you north into Pokolbin. The valley unfolds with vineyard views as you arrive at the first winery for a tasting focused on the region's signature drops. You'll move to a second cellar door for more wines and the included grazing board—a chance to sit and absorb the landscape. The third stop, a distillery, offers something different from grape-based spirits. Between venues, your guide shares stories about Hunter Valley's winemaking heritage and what distinguishes local producers. Late afternoon you head back to Sydney, arriving early evening.
