Tour Highlights:

• Departure time is approximately 7.30am. Hotel pickups are between 6.45 and 7.30am. (Read more here)
• We stop at a coffee shop/roadhouse on the way up for some morning refreshments.
• Personal and close small group setting makes interaction with fellow travellers easy and fun.
• Our flexible day tour programme ensures that you visit four or five wineries ranging from smaller vineyards, some with a 5 star classifcation (the highest available), to the larger  wineries.  
• We include in our day a special wine Tasting at Tempus Two winery. This is the newest in the Hunter and has the style and ambience of a nightclub, great location and the wines are equally as good. The sparkling semillon is a winner!
• Another winery we like to visit is Drayton's which is a fifth generation vineyard. They have excellent ports and sweeter wines. Their cellar is a must see with large racks of wines covered in dust from generations ago.
• Another favourite is the Golden Grape which specializes in liqueurs and chilli infused desert wines. Great if you like those wines! Something different.
• We visit either (1) the Hunter Valley Cheese Factory where many award winning cheeses are produced (they also have a special tasting for groups) or (2) the Smelly Cheese Shop at Polkolbin to try some of their vast range of Australian and imported cheeses.
• Lunch is at the Blue Tongue Brewery where you can sample some of the renowned beers.
• Another highlight is a visit to the Hunter Valley Chocolate Factory where you can "try before you buy" from a most extensive range of home made chocolates and assorted chocolated coated products.
• Depending on time we visit the olive factory to sample their extensive range of olive oils, dips, pastes, dukkahs, mustards sauces jams and much much more.
• There are over 80 wineries in the Hunter Valley.
  
• We arrive back in Sydney at around 6:00pm.
