HUNTER VALLEYWINE TOUR

Hunter Valley · New South Wales

From Sydney: Hunter Valley Wine Tasting & Behind-the-scenes Tour

Travel from Haymarket for three winery tastings, a behind-the-scenes visit at Sobels and a stop at Hunter Valley Chocolate Company.

Who this tour suits

A look inside wine production

Choose this outing if the wine-making process interests you as much as the tasting itself. The listing includes a production visit at Sobels alongside a rotating winery selection. Bimbadgen, De Bortoli, Tamburlaine and Drayton’s appear as possible stops, so they should not be treated as a fixed checklist. The published duration is one day, rather than a confirmed number of hours.
