Itinerary
Step into one of the Hunter’s most highly regarded vineyards, known for elegant wines and rich history. At Mount Pleasant you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of their premium range, perfectly paired with local cheeses, olives and lavosh. This tasting sets the tone for the day — deep flavour, complexity and stories behind each label that wine lovers will adore.
xperience one of the most exclusive cellar doors in the Hunter Valley. Thomas Allen is winery-only, with membership waitlists and no other tour companies welcomed — meaning you get genuine, focused attention in a stunning setting. Expect elegant wines, expert guidance from passionate hosts, and beautiful estate views. This stop is truly a highlight for anyone searching for premium Hunter Valley tastings off the usual tourist trail.
Guests pay for their own lunch on the day at the renowned Bistro Molines ($100pp for breads, canapés + two courses). With sweeping vineyard views and French-inspired menus that change with the seasons, this restaurant is one of the Hunter’s most talked-about dining experiences. Whether you’re after slow, romantic shared plates or a crisp glass of local Semillon with lunch, it’s a truly memorable culinary moment — and makes the tour feel like a wine-country escape rather than a rushed day trip.
Perched high above the vines with sweeping views across the Hunter Valley, Mount View Estate offers a beautifully relaxed yet refined tasting experience. Guests will enjoy a guided tasting of the estate’s premium wines inside the striking new cellar door, where floor-to-ceiling glass frames one of the most spectacular outlooks in the region. The team at Mount View share the stories behind the vineyard and its long history in the valley, while you sample standout varietals — including their exceptional Shiraz. It’s a memorable stop that perfectly captures the elegance, scenery and craftsmanship of the Hunter Valley.

Sydney wraps around a glittering natural harbour, with a famous sail-roofed opera house, golden surf beaches and an easygoing outdoor life.
The Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge face each other across Circular Quay, where ferries come and go. The Rocks, the old colonial quarter, has sandstone pubs and weekend markets, and the Royal Botanic Garden curves around Farm Cove to Mrs Macquarie's Chair for the classic view of both landmarks.
