Overview

Your guide Daniel collects you from your Sydney CBD hotel in a luxury Mercedes van for a full day in the Hunter Valley.

This small-group tour (max 11 guests) visits three handpicked cellar doors — Krinklewood's stunning Provençal estate, the refined 1813 at Tinonee, and the architecturally striking Keith Tulloch Wine. At Keith Tulloch, an artisan chocolatier is on site and you can add a craft gin tasting at no extra charge.

Lunch is at Café Enzo — a Hunter Valley institution since 1996, set in a sandstone Tuscan courtyard in Pokolbin. Homemade food, local produce, generous plates. Guests pay on the day.
