“ Thanks for a great day out where our expectations were exceeded. Our tour guide, Julie, was kind generous and extremely knowledgeable about the Hunter Valley and wineries. We were a diverse group coming together to have a fun day out. Would highly recommend this tour of boutique wineries. Particularly grateful to Julie and the warmth of our co-conspirators for making our day. Cheers to Paul at Binet Wines and Jade at Iron Gate vineyard. Also loved Hunter Distillery – try Copperwave Gin – amazing. ”

“ Our family of 10 had an amazing day with Colin. Very hospitable to our requests, informative on different winery’s in the area, places to eat and allowed us to go at our own place. A really great family day. Thank you Colin! ”

“ Wow in this modern era who would believe a business with a heart. Due to a serious diagnosis the day before our tour we were 2 people short on our booking. Although they didnt have to they did not charge us. So kind. As for our driver Chris what a gem nothing was too much trouble we probably should have tipped him so much more. Julie’s itinerary was AMAZING UNIQUE and flexible. Value for money is an understatement. Would l recommend 200%. What fun thankyou so much. Not enough superlatives to do this company justice. Believe me l am a very tough regular reviewer and could not fault our day. ”

“ Julie designed a wonderful tour for my family ranging in age from 52-88 years. She made sure all the venues were accessible and took us to a great range of vineyards, chocolate, cheese, olive tastings as well as a fantastic gin and vodka distillery. Julie shared lots of local knowledge and fun facts and her attention to detail was second to none. ”

“ We traveled from Adelaide met up with our son and his girlfriend who had done a wine tour with Julie before . Julie did not disappoint as she went out of her way to make everybody’s day special . Julie organized for the 4 of us to finish the day at stomp winery which was the highlight of our weekend in the hunter valley. Thankyou Julie ,if you want a great day out book now ”

“ Hubby and i did a full day wine tour for our wedding anniversary and his birthday. With Julie as our tour guide we visited 5 boutique wineries plus the distillery with cheese and chocolate to match. Full of knowledge and very friendly we had a great day.Went back to our hotel pleasantly intoxicated and full of good good food Highly recommended ”

“ The tour was not rushed which was what we requested since we had our mom with a bad knee with us. We also loved that we went to organic wines to accomodate my vegan daughter. The wineries that we went to and the lunch at Baume were just perfect for our group. Thanks to julie for arranging the tour and driving us around. ”

“ Julie was absolutely fantastic and we had a wonderful day arriving back at our hotel with our wines, cheeses, olives and chocolates. ”

“ My friends and I had a wonderful day on our wineries tour, and were so impressed with Julie’s care and professionalism during the day. She is also great company and it was wonderful hearing how she started her business after realising there weren’t any wheelchair accessible vehicles being operated in the Hunter Valley. Our vehicle was spotless, and our day went very smoothly. A fantastic experience and highly recommended! ”

“ We loved all the wineries Brett took us to. Happy to recommend good places around Hunter to eat and see. We really enjoyed the wine tasting experience! Thank you. ”

Really well organised tour! We had a great host, was very funny.

Don’t be surprised if you do leave this restaurant a little heavier than when you arrived

Hope your hungry, this place will fill you up.

Great hidden breakfast spot

Was so nice to sit outside with a band playing, drinking good wine and eating a divine antipasto plate.

Food was fresh, service was friendly, will definitely be back.

There are lots of good options, including the vegetarian options (real meals, not just a token salad).

The flavour in every single bite was to die for and the servings where huge.

A must experience, for cheese lovers, to share with friends and family.

The atmosphere was casual, comfortable and were eyeing off the day bed under the trees.

This is one stop you must go if you’re getting peckish and anywhere in the area.

Extremely child friendly with a lovely out look.

The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful setting, yummy food and lovely staff.

Go there hungry as you will fill your stomach with yummy food.

Fantastic day. Great host, interesting pairings, particularly with the chocolate.

Delicious food, great wine and wonderful people.

Devine food, amazing staff and ohhh those bubbles.

The rain made no difference to our tour – the Hunter Valley is beautiful in any weather!

Once you go Fat, you never go Back.

A highlight of the tour was the “Cheese & Wine Matching”… So interesting!!

A trip to the local beer brewery was both informative and a welcome break from all the wine!

We laughed the whole time and enjoyed the wineries we visited.

Consistently fabulous over the years and we always learn or taste something new.

Frequently asked questions (faq) of hunter valley wine tours.

Hunter Valley vineyards are located approximately 245 km to the North of Sydney and it’s a roughly 3-hour drive via Pacific highway.

For out of state travelers who plan on flying into Sydney Airport, we recommend booking your flights, accommodation, and airport parking in advance, to ensure that your day trip to Hunter Valley is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Mention on your booking if you need an airport pick up with flight details and arrival time.

Our preferable time to take a day tour to Hunter Valley from Sydney is between September to November where the weather is pleasant. From the beginning of December to the end of February are the harvest time and best time for grape picking. However, the weather is not the best and the temperature could be reached near 40c in mid-January.

The ‘best winery’ could be subjective, for example, there are many wineries who have named as 5-star wineries by Halliday wine companion and the top of the list are Brokenwood, McGuigan, and Tyrells. If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere and the best customer service, Gartlemann wines in Lovedale is our recommendation. We have written a blog on the best wineries in Hunter Valley -based on awards they won recently. 

Hunter Valley is Australia’s oldest wine region and counted for over 150 very small to mass production cellar doors.

There are few cellar doors that offer free wine tasting, for example, Sobels wines in Pokolbin. However, most of Hunter Valley cellar doors charges from 5 to 10 $ per head for wine tasting and will reimburse on a purchase. The premium or single-vineyard tasting could be expensive as 25 to 50$ per head.

If you book a Hunter Valley tour with Sydney Private Tours , our guide will recommend and take you to various styles of cellar doors as per booking conditions. However, if you decide to self-drive to Hunter Valley, stop at the Hunter visitor information center at 455 Wine Country Dr to get some recommendations of cellar doors, and also a map of the region. Decide who will be the sober bob before starts your wine tastings as there are many police petrol cars at any given time around Pokolbin, Cessnock, and Lovedale areas.

The predominant grape variety planted in Hunter Valley is Semillon and widely used for dessert wines. Apart from Semillon, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Verdelho are the other grape varietals that you can taste in a Hunter Valley day trip from Sydney. Some cellar doors offer the option to do a comparison with wines produce in Orange and Mudgee NSW as well.

It all depends on the cuisine you want to have or your budget. If you are after an exclusive sit-down style meal on your Hunter Valley wine tasting tour, our recommendations are Baume at Lindeman’s cellar door, Amandas on the Edge or Bistro Molines. Usually, a lunch will price at $50 per person in these Hunter Valley restaurants . Harrigan’s Irish Pub, Foghorn Brewery and Twine restaurant are other lunch options or there are few cafes at the Hunter Valley Garden for lunch that would cost less than $20 per person.

Wine tasting notes – Trying wine can feel different for everyone because our sense of taste and smell are tied to our own experiences. People may prefer one wine critic’s opinions over another’s.

There are words commonly used to describe wine that are good to know. They help you understand what a particular type of wine might be like.

Besides flavors, tasting notes also tell you about other things in the wine. According to Andrew Jefford, a wine expert, things like the way the wine feels in your mouth and its overall structure are just as important as how it smells and tastes.

Varietals – A wine varietal is a wine made from one type of grape, like pinot noir or chardonnay. Red, white, sparkling, and dessert wines are different types of wine but not varietals themselves. However, varietals are found within these categories. For example, cabernet franc is a type of red wine varietal.

In some places where wine is made, a varietal has the same name as the grape it’s made from, like a Syrah made from Syrah grapes. This is common in North America, Australia, and South America. In more traditional wine regions like France and Italy, the names of varietals come from where the wine is made, not the grape variety. For instance, a Burgundy wine from the French region is made with Pinot Noir grapes.

Terroir – It is about how the climate, soil, and landscape of a specific area impact the flavour of wine. Certain places are thought to have a stronger “terroir” than others, meaning these factors have a more distinct influence on the wine’s taste.

Tannin – It is a natural substance found in plants, seeds, bark, wood, leaves, and fruit skins. It’s a type of polyphenol, which are large molecules made up of oxygen and hydrogen. The word “tannin” comes from an old Latin word for tanner, linking to the historical use of tree bark in tanning leather. So, in a way, the name comes from that process!
