About this tour
Taste five Tulloch wines matched with locally crafted chocolates in the Hunter Valley, Australia's original wine region, just two hours from Sydney. A 45-minute seated session with a wine educator explores unexpected pairings—white chocolate with lighter wines, dry reds with darker varieties—guided by tasting notes you'll take home. Kids get their own soft drinks and snacks; teens try kombucha with cheese.

What to expect
You'll settle into a private tasting area where your guide introduces each wine alongside its chocolate match. The session unfolds slowly: you'll taste, compare, discuss why certain pairings work. Adults receive five full pours; the real discovery is the interplay between tannins and cocoa, sweetness and acidity. Non-drinkers and younger guests have parallel tastings designed for their tastes. Everything's accessible—spaces accommodate wheelchairs and prams without fuss.
