About this tour
Spend six to seven hours tasting your way through Hunter Valley's finest producers on this small-group day tour. You'll visit three wineries and a distillery, sampling wines, gin, vodka, cheese and chocolate at each stop. Local guides lead behind-the-scenes production visits and tastings, while lunch with a glass of wine or craft beer sits down in the valley itself. Free hotel pickups run from Lovedale, Pokolbin and Rothbury.

What to expect
The day moves at an easy pace across the valley, stopping at boutique operations where you'll taste their signature offerings guided by the makers themselves. You'll see how wine gets made on a production-focused tour, then move through gin and vodka tastings at a distillery. Cheese and chocolate appear at select stops to complement the drinks. Lunch is casual—one course with your choice of wine or craft beer—letting you settle in and chat with fellow travellers. Guides are engaging and know the region well. Closed-toe shoes are essential for the winery production area.
