Guided Tours, Private Tours
Explore Hunter Valley - Full-Day Private Tour
This is a typical itinerary; however, it’s your day your way – so we will work with you to provide the outing you are hoping for. All private tours have a flexible pick-up time. For the Hunter Valley we recommend 7am starts. The wineries close at 5pm. We can choose some of these options or make our way direct for more time in the Hunter Valley. Morning tea in Brooklyn A quaint river village that feels like a million miles from Sydney. Here you can feel the sense of community that infuses all the settlements of the Hawkesbury River. The scenic route through Wollombi Rather than sticking with the main highway to the Hunter Valley, we can turn onto an under-utilized tourist drive that begins north of the Hawkesbury River. The road passes through national parks, past small farms, and through several towns and villages. Most notably, Wollombi – is a heritage town with a well-preserved 19th-century streetscape, lined with boutiques, cafes, and, of course, a pub. The Australian Walkabout Wildlife Park Is best visited as soon as it opens for the day at 9 am. The animals are active then, and the tourists are few. Not a zoo, but a wildlife sanctuary – here koalas, kangaroos, emus, and other native wildlife freely roam the 80-hectare (198-acre) park which is maintained as a native habitat. If you book ahead, we can arrange a private koala encounter. Hunter Valley In the morning, Mount View or Broke Fordwich Mount View offers panoramic scenery from Mount View Road. Visit Carillion Wines or Bria Ridge Wines, and perhaps even dine at Bistro Molines. At Broke Fordwich visit the awarded Krinklewood Winery and enjoy a long lunch and dine at the hatted Margan Restaurant. Lunch - Boutique Restaurants, Fine Dining, Pizza Stops, or Pub Lunches When you are ready for lunch, the Hunter Valley supplies a wealth of options. Favourites include Margan Restaurant, Bistro Molines, Café Enzo, and Twine Restaurant. A quick option may be gourmet woodfired pizza and salads prepared while you taste the Brokenwood or Bimbadgen wines. In the afternoon, with our remaining time, we’ll fit in more wineries and, perhaps, round out our day with locally made chocolates. Or for those without a sweet tooth, perhaps some olives are more your speed. We're delighted to tell you that you can enjoy a wine tasting, but please note that this is not included in the price. The great news is that you can still enjoy a wine tasting! All you have to do is pay the tasting fee, which varies from venue to venue. Some of our recommended venues charge $10 per person, while others waive the fee if you purchase wine. Return to Sydney - At a time that suits you. When the wineries and most speciality shops close at 5 pm, it’s time to sit back, relax, and keep your eye out for wild kangaroos in the paddocks and vineyards as we make our way back to Sydney. Inclusions: Driver Guide Hotel pick-up and drop-off for selected hotels Private transfers Parking and toll fees Bottled water Exclusions: Meal Entrance fee Wine tasting Drinks Important Info: N/A Redeem Info: PRINTED - Printed Voucher.
