Hunter Valley Midday Wine Tour with Light Lunch

4 hours to 1 day

Overview

This half-day Hunter Valley tour is a straightforward way to fit in cellar doors, local produce and a light lunch without giving up your whole day. You’ll visit parts of Pokolbin and Lovedale for wine tastings, then stop at a working boutique vineyard for a locally sourced lunch among the vines. The trip also includes samples at a local distillery outlet, plus time at the region’s well-known Smelly Deli and nearby cheese and chocolate shops. Accommodation return transfers are included, which makes the day easier to manage if you do not want to drive.

Why backpackers love it

It is a handy option if you want a Hunter Valley tasting trip without committing to a full-day tour. The accommodation transfers remove the hassle of organising transport, and the mix of wine, spirits and local food keeps it varied. It is better suited to travellers who want an easy, organised afternoon and are happy to pay for a more polished regional tour rather than doing the cheapest possible DIY day out.

What to expect

The tour runs for around 4.5 hours and focuses on a few of the Hunter’s classic tasting experiences in one short outing. Expect wine tastings across the Hunter Valley, including Pokolbin and Lovedale, with vineyard views along the way. Midway through the trip, you’ll have a light lunch at a working boutique vineyard. After that, the itinerary moves on to a local distillery outlet for vodka and gin samples, followed by a stop at the Smelly Deli area for local cheese and chocolate shopping before heading back to your accommodation. Not all dietary requirements can be catered for with the included lunch.
