CLASSIC HUNTER VALLEY WINE TOUR
Some days deserve to be given the whole day. The Classic Wine Tour is our 7-hour private Hunter Valley wine tour — a private vehicle, your own dedicated chauffeur, and enough time to actually settle into the Valley. You're not clock-watching. You're not rushing past a cellar door you'd have loved. You're just here, at your pace, doing the Hunter properly. It's the reason Classic is our most-booked tour.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time does the Classic Wine Tour start?
The Classic starts at 10 AM. This lines up with cellar door opening times across the Hunter Valley, so you're not sitting outside waiting for your first tasting. All Classic tours finish by 5 PM.
How many wineries can I visit on the Classic tour?
You choose 4 to 5 wineries. Most guests find 4 is the sweet spot for a relaxed pace, but 5 is doable if you're keeping tastings shorter or you know exactly what you want to try.
What's the difference between the Classic and Premium tours?
Classic is 7 hours and visits 4 to 5 wineries. Premium is 8 hours, visits 5 to 6 wineries, and includes a complimentary dinner transfer to your restaurant that evening. If you're planning a celebration or heading out to dinner afterwards, Premium adds real value. If you're keeping it a wineries-and-home day, Classic covers everything.
What's the difference between the Classic and Express tours?
Express is 5 hours and visits 3 wineries — a shorter, focused day for couples on a quick break. Classic is 7 hours across 4 to 5 wineries — the standard "proper day in the Valley" experience. Most guests choose Classic.
Where do you pick up from?
Complimentary pickup from Pokolbin, Lovedale, Cessnock, Branxton, or anywhere within 15 km of Hunter Valley Gardens. Extended pickup areas may incur a small additional fee — just add your address at checkout and we'll confirm.
