Convict-era pubs, working-class brewing precincts, and the Hunter Valley a comfortable bus-ride away. Sydney is our flagship region and where it all started.

Hunter Valley & Newcastle
Two-hour drive from Sydney, three centuries of wine history, and the country's only world-class semillon. The Hunter is where Australian wine started.
The Hunter is Australia’s oldest wine region (1820s), and it remains the country’s only consistent producer of world-class semillon. It’s also the easiest day-trip from Sydney we run — three vineyards, a paired lunch at Margan, and you’re back in the CBD by 7:30pm.
Our Hunter crew runs six tours, with departure points in Sydney, Newcastle, and Pokolbin itself. The flagship is the Sydney day-trip; the connoisseur’s favourite is the Semillon Masterclass at Audrey Wilkinson, which sits on a 1866 vineyard with views back across the valley.
What’s worth coming for
Taste of the Hunter from Sydney. Three wineries, a paired lunch, a chocolate stop on the way home. The most-booked tour in our entire national network.
Semillon Masterclass. A guided vertical tasting of Hunter Semillon, hosted at Audrey Wilkinson. Two hours; ten wines; the most informative single session you can do on Australian wine.
Hunter Valley Long Lunch. A four-course paired lunch at Margan with the family doing the talking. Pickup from any local accommodation.

Tasmania
Hobart & Tasmania
More distilleries per square kilometre than any city on earth — and a food and beer scene to match. Tasmania is the under-rated drinks destination of the country.
