The Hunter Valley is Sydney’s premier wine region. There is simply nothing else like leaving the city and heading up into the fertile Hunter for a day of wine tasting, gourmet food and relaxation, on one of these Hunter Valley day trips from Sydney.
Hunter Valley Wine Tasting Tour
There are a number of options for the day-tripper choosing to head north into Sydney’s wine region. Whilst hiring a car and self-driving the area is, of course, a possibility, unless a member of your party is happy to act as a dedicated driver, it’s best to simply sit back and let someone else take care of it.
Standard day trips to the Hunter Valley from Sydney will take, as suggested, all day. You’ll hop on a bus and head into the Hunter, where you’ll find yourself immersed in a wine tasting experience of Australia’s oldest wine producing region. You’ll enjoy several wine tastings, a delicious gourmet lunch, and a private tour of some of Australia’s most famous vineyards.
From the basic wine tasting day trip experience, there are a number of options that one can choose to tailor their day trip to suit both their budget and preferred experience. A small group Hunter Valley wine and cheese tasting tour combines local wine with gourmet produce, whilst ensuring the group size means you aren’t ever shunted to the back to miss out. Similarly, a small group wine and wilderness tour puts a focus on the unique Australian experience, stopping at a wildlife park for visitors to get up close and personal with native animals such as koalas along the way.
For an experience that adds a little more glamour to your day trip, a Hunter Valley luncheon tour by helicopter comes highly recommended. Take in the views as you fly from Sydney to the Hunter Valley before you experience a private wine tasting and gourmet, three course lunch. For the typical experience without all the other people, it’s also possible to book yourself a private tour of the Hunter Valley region and its boutique wineries. Meet the wildlife of the Australian Reptile Park, sample wines, gourmet produce and treat yourself to lunch all in the company of your holiday companions.
