Hunter Valley – From $169
North of Sydney is the lovely wine-growing area known as the Hunter Valley. Experts will educate you about the differences between varieties of grapes & you can taste up to 20 different wines (to see if the experts are correct).
Wine tasting; We like to visit a traditional, small old winery to support them & get first -hand knowledge from the owner or their family.
We also visit some large award winning wineries so you can experience the difference between them & the small guys.
Lunch; a relaxing picnic lunch is provided by a local bakery.
Cheese tasting; Blue vein, fromage blanc, goats tome, vintage cheddar are some of the cheeses you will be able to taste, smell & learn about as well.
Beer tasting; at one of the beer cafes you can relax & enjoy wine, tea, coffee & of course a beer or three. Learn about the types of beer with the help of some notes on each type.
The Village; finally, walk through the cute Hunter Valley Village shops to look at, or buy souvenirs , wines, gifts, olives, books, chocolates, art works or clothes.
