About this tour
Skip the crowded tasting rooms and explore Hunter Valley's best with a guide who knows where the serious wine drinkers go. This six-hour tour takes you to three boutique cellar doors—Mount Pleasant for heritage pours paired with local cheese, Thomas Allen for a rare small-group tasting, and Mount View Estate for vines and views from high in the valley. A luxury vehicle gets you between stops, and lunch at Bistro Molines (your shout) rounds out the day without the rush.

- Mount View Estate's hilltop location and panoramic valley views
- Expert local guide steers clear of tourist bottlenecks
- Lunch choice at Bistro Molines, pay-as-you-go two courses
- Luxury vehicle transport with hotel pickup and drop-off included
What to expect
You'll roll out in a comfortable vehicle with someone who actually works the Hunter and can tell you which winemakers are doing interesting things right now. First stop is Mount Pleasant, where you taste properly curated wines with proper food—not just a quick pour. Then it's off to Thomas Allen, a smaller spot you wouldn't find on the usual itinerary. After lunch at Bistro Molines (order what appeals, settle up after), the final cellar door is Mount View Estate, perched high enough that you can see across half the valley while you're swirling your glass. It's paced for quality conversation, not ticking boxes.
Good to know
Lunch is not included—you order and pay separately at Bistro Molines. Water and three tastings are covered. Car seats and prams available if needed. Alcoholic drinks only for 18+; younger guests get non-alcoholic alternatives. All fitness levels welcome.
