Itinerary

  1. We’ll take the scenic route to Hunter Valley via the iconic Tourist Drive 33 — a beautiful beginning to a day designed for connection, curiosity, and slowing down — just winding roads, open skies, and changing landscapes that set the tone for the day ahead. With a small group and a flexible approach, this experience feels more like a road trip with new friends than a typical tour. It's all about the kind of travel that leaves room for stories, spontaneity, and soul.

    3 h

  2. Wollombi is a charming, historic village where time seems to stand still. We'll explore its quaint shops, heritage buildings, and tranquil vibes and grab a quick coffee.

    30 min

  3. You begin at one of the Hunter’s most historic family wineries, established in 1858. This is where the region’s story starts. You’ll taste classic, savoury, dry wines made from some of the oldest producing vines in the country, including their signature Semillon, known for its fresh citrus notes that develop beautifully with age. It’s not about trends here, it’s about tradition, balance, and understanding what makes this region unique.

    1 h

  4. Vinery 2. We shift into something bolder. You’ll explore big reds and compare Shiraz or Chardonnay from different Australian regions, getting a real sense of how climate and terroir shape flavour. Not just a drink, but something you actually experience and understand.

    1 h

  5. Next comes the personal side of the Hunter. You’ll visit a boutique, family-run winery representing a new generation of winemaking, where creativity and expression come through in every pour. This stop is paired with a savoury Aussie pie tasting that becomes your lunch.

    1 h

  6. And then, a sweet finish. Enjoy a guided wine and chocolate pairing, where flavours are carefully matched to bring out the best in both. From lighter wines with delicate chocolate to richer reds with deeper notes, it’s a relaxed and indulgent way to end the day.

    1 h

  7. Return to Sydney via Highway7 After a full day of exploring, well head back to Sydney the fast way. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride maybe even a nap while we cruise down the highway with good music and good vibes.

About Sydney

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.
