Operated by Colourful Collective Travel · Hunter Valley, New South Wales
The Hunter Valley stands as one of Australia’s premier wine regions, located just north of Sydney in New South Wales. Known for its rolling vineyards, diverse cellar doors, and elegant countryside, it’s a destination that pairs natural beauty with rich viticultural heritage.

Operating from pickup points in Pokolbin, Cessnock, and Lovedale, this small-group tour transports guests in a luxury Mercedes-Benz, setting a tone of comfort from the outset.

With groups capped at 14, the vibe leans into a day out with friends, complete with a curated music playlist and engaging stories about the wineries and the region.
The itinerary features visits to three handpicked vineyards, showcasing a mix of white and red varieties unique to Hunter Valley. The highlight is an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at wine production, an add-on that reveals the craft behind each bottle. Beyond wine, the tour includes tastings at the Hunter Distillery, where guests sample organic vodkas, gins, and schnapps, some served in playful test tubes with adventurous flavors like chili and chocolate mint.
Food pairs beautifully with wine on this tour—guests enjoy expertly matched cheese and chocolate tastings, capped by a one-course restaurant lunch paired with a glass of wine, craft beer, or cider. The genuine guide who leads the experience skips long-winded commentary for lively facts and local stories that deepen your connection to Hunter Valley’s culture and landscape.
