We begin the luxury day trip by driving over the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. Relax in the comfort of the premium vehicle and enjoy the spectacular morning views of the sparkling harbor and the Sydney Opera House as we head north towards Australia’s oldest wine region.

Before leaving the city behind, we make a brief, exclusive stop at a hidden gem: Copes Lookout in Kirribilli. Step out of the vehicle for a perfect photo opportunity. You will get an unobstructed, postcard-worthy view of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge framed perfectly together—away from the usual tourist crowds.

To break up the drive to the wine country, we will stretch the legs at the beautiful Mount Penang Gardens. Enjoy a peaceful stroll through these spectacular contemporary landscapes. It’s a perfect moment of morning tranquility and a great chance to breathe in the fresh Australian air before we begin your culinary adventures.

Welcome to the heart of the Hunter Valley! For your first major stop, your private guide will introduce you to a carefully selected, boutique winery. You'll enjoy an intimate, premium tasting session featuring the region's signature drops, including world-renowned crisp Semillon and rich Shiraz. Learn about the local winemaking heritage directly from passionate cellar door experts.

Time to relax and refuel. We'll stop at the famous Harrigan's Irish Pub, beautifully situated among the vineyards in Pokolbin. Enjoy the charming, traditional atmosphere or sit out in the beautiful sunlit beer garden. You will have an hour to enjoy a hearty, delicious lunch (lunch is at your own expense, giving you the flexibility to order exactly what you crave).

Indulge your sweet tooth at the famous Hunter Valley Chocolate Company. You will have time to explore and sample their exquisite range of handmade chocolates, fudges, and gelato. It's the perfect, sweet complement to a day of fine wine and savory cheeses.

Before we begin your comfortable journey back to your Sydney hotel, we will make a final scenic stop. This is a fantastic opportunity for some last photos among the vines bathed in the golden afternoon light. Keep your eyes peeled, as this is the perfect time to spot wild kangaroos grazing peacefully in the vineyards!

What is a wine tour without premium cheese? We will visit the Hunter Belle Cheese Room for a delightful tasting experience. Sample a variety of locally crafted, artisanal cheeses—ranging from creamy bries to unique flavored cheddars. It is the perfect opportunity to find the ultimate pairings for the wines you've just discovered.

Your gourmet journey continues with a visit to a second hand-picked cellar door. Here, we dive deeper into the region's diverse varietals. Take in the stunning vineyard views while enjoying another guided tasting session. Depending on your preferences, we can explore historic family estates or modern wineries offering unique creations like Shiraz Gin or Blue Wine.

Imagine sipping a world-class Shiraz while watching a mob of kangaroos bound across the vineyards. The Hunter Valley is not just Australia's oldest wine region; it is also home to a massive population of wild Eastern Grey Kangaroos. We know the exact clearings and estates where they love to rest in the afternoon sun.

(optional) There is opportunity to be closer to Australian icons - Kangaroos and Koalas and others native animals without the crowd
