Enjoy the Hunter Valley

The Hunter Valley region in Australia produces some of the worlds’ most notable wines. Its large sweeping vineyards house the famous Lindemans, Hardy’s and McGuigan estates as well as small boutique and independent family run wineries which have been passed down through several generations of wine makers.

The landscape is dotted with an eclectic mix of historic country estates and modern wineries which produce a variety of boutique and well known brands, offering a visitor to the valley a diverse tasting experience which blends traditional wine production with the modern.

Located just two hours from Sydney’s bustling streets, The Hunter Valley’s lush green landscapes and rolling vineyards are a welcome contrast to city life. On Hunter Valley Wine Tours, wine experts will take you to a whole range of vineyards and wineries to trace the wine making journey from grape to glass. You will walk among the vines learning the methods and conditions which produce different types of grape and then sample a vast selection of different wines on a wine appreciation course. Expert tutors will guide you on a delectable journey, where you will learn to identify the textures and tastes of different grapes and vintages, their impact on your palette and ideal food choices to best compliment their unique flavours and aromas.
