Description

Embark on a luxury small-group wine tour from Sydney to the Hunter Valley, designed for those who value authenticity, connection, and exceptional quality. Avoid the crowds and commercial tourist stops — this is a more personal journey into the heart of Australia’s most celebrated wine region. Travelling in luxury comfort, you’ll be collected from your Sydney CBD hotel (or from your accommodation within the Hunter Valley) and whisked away to explore the stunning Broke-Fordwich and Pokolbin wine regions. Along the way, enjoy rolling vineyard landscapes, boutique cellar doors, and warm country hospitality. Your day includes premium tastings at three handpicked boutique wineries, each selected for its craftsmanship, character and relaxed atmosphere. These are places that prize quality over quantity — where you can slow down, chat with the winemakers and truly taste the Hunter. You’ll never find yourself rushing from one crowded tasting room to the next — instead, every stop has been curated for its intimacy and authenticity. Guests can also choose to enhance their experience with a complimentary boutique gin tasting offered in partnership with local distillers — a unique addition exclusive to this tour. For lunch, you’ll dine at Café CouCou, a charming French-inspired brasserie located within the elegant grounds of Keith Tulloch Wines. The menu celebrates seasonal, gourmet produce and offers an unhurried atmosphere surrounded by vineyard views. Lunch is payable on the day ($40 per person) and includes a breads course, a choice of main dish, and one beverage — your selection of house wine, beer, soft drink, or coffee. It’s a relaxed yet refined dining experience that perfectly complements your day of indulgence. In the afternoon, you’ll visit an artisan chocolatier where you can sample and shop handcrafted sweets, perfect for pairing with your favourite wines. There’s also time to wander the vineyards, soak in the scenery, and capture a few beautiful moments to remember your day. With a maximum of 11 guests, this small-group experience allows space to breathe, connect and enjoy. Your guide is a local expert who shares not only the region’s history but also insider stories about its people, producers and traditions — the kind of detail that makes this tour truly special. Whether you’re travelling solo, with a partner, or among friends, this is a luxurious yet relaxed escape that feels genuinely personal. No rushing, no tourist traps — just outstanding wine, gourmet food, beautiful scenery and the kind of hospitality that makes the Hunter Valley unforgettable.
