Experience Australia’s oldest wine producing region, the picturesque Hunter Valley. Travel over the Sydney Harbour Bridge before being treated to magnificent views of the Hawkesbury River and Australian countryside. Arrive at Tintilla Estate, a family run winery known for their wines, olives and conserves. Relax on the deck overlooking the vineyard as you sample a selection of the family’s favourite wines only available at the cellar door.

Next you will visit Hunter Valley Resort where you can walk amongst the vineyards and learn the important role the Resort holds for this region. Sample wines from the cellar door then enjoy a delicious lunch made with local produce. After lunch, enjoy some free time to relax or purchase a beer tasting paddle from the onsite Brewery (own expense). Next visit the opulent surrounds of Leogate Estate Wines where you will join a behind the scenes tour and learn about the wine making process from within their factory. Enjoy a wine tasting while overlooking the estate vineyards and the Brokenback Ranges, a truly impressive sight. Finish the day at Roche Estate where you will have free time to explore the local shops offering Australian cheeses with gourmet delights, coffee, gelato, craft beer and a cellar door

Tips of the Day:

• If you try a wine you like, there is plenty of storage room on the coach, so don’t be shy if you want to stock up on bottles of Hunter Valley wines
