Hunter Valley Wine, Cheese and Chocolate Tour

This full-day Hunter Valley tour is a straightforward way to try more than just wine without organising transport yourself. You’ll visit handpicked boutique cellar doors for premium small-batch tastings, with extra food stops for cheese and chocolate, plus a local distillery for vodka and gin depending on the venue. Lunch is at a local brewhouse, where you order and pay for what you want. It’s a small-group day out led by a local guide, so it suits travellers who want a social, easy-planned wine region trip with a bit of variety.

The day runs as a guided small-group tour through the Hunter Valley in a modern air-conditioned vehicle. You’ll stop at boutique wineries for tastings, including one stop with a cheese and wine pairing served with a local tasting board. Depending on the day’s venues, there may also be artisan cheese and chocolate sampling and a vodka and gin tasting at a local distillery. There’s a lunch stop at a brewhouse, but food is at your own expense, so budget for that separately. Along the way, keep an eye out for kangaroos in the surrounding countryside. The tour is wheelchair accessible with notice, and service animals are allowed.
