Indulge in......
- the wines (we guide you to the unique cellar doors in the Hunter Valley)

We start the day with a guided tour of the wine making facilities of a small winery followed by an extensive tasting. Then you can visit a wide range of quality wineries ....large or small.... according to your individual tastes or preferences. Or rely on our expert knowledge and experience to guide you ......we've been tasting at over 80 wineries! Apart from cheese and fudge tastings there are other options such as chocolate tastings or gallery visits (just ask your driver on the day).
