Hunter Valley & Newcastle Breweries Tour
The Hunter Valley has some of Australia’s best wine, food, cheese, chocolate, beers and spirits and we’ll try them all on this tour
What to expect
We’ll visit 3 local boutique wineries and a distillery with a guided tasting by a local supplier at each stop and behind the scenes tours at select locations. At some venues, we’ll bring some chocolates and local cheeses to match the wine and keep your tastebuds exploring the flavours of Australia’s first wine region.
In addition to all the beautiful wines and hand crafted produce, we also include a relaxed one course lunch with a wine, beer or cider to allow guests to take in the Valley’s charm.
Exploring the BEST drinks is what we love to do and tours depart daily from Sydney and The Hunter Valley.
