What happens during the day????

We start our pickups from your accommodation at 10am in Cessnock (9am from Newcastle).

After we have all the passengers onboard we will head to our first winery.

Midweek tours can be a MYSTERY tour. A lot of the time we may wait until all the passengers are onboard and after discussing with them what and where could be of interest we decide what to do. Your driver will then try and make arrangements with the wineries concerned to make the bookings. Normally we will spend around 45mins at each winery. Depending on passenger numbers we will visit 2 wineries before heading to lunch, this will be at a restaurant/winery where you will have a 2 course meal ( mains and dessert) after tasting the wines on offer. After lunch which is between 90 mins and 2 hrs duration we will head off and visit 2 more wineries during the afternoon before we take you back to your accommodation for a well earned rest.

Weekend tours are more organised as this is the busiest time for the Valley.

You can let us know when you make your booking if you have some favourites you like to visit and we will do our best to at least fit some of these into the day.
