The best of the Hunter Valley

Boutique wine tasting, done your way

The Hunter Valley is one of Australia's best known wine regions, with more than 150 wineries dotted over its rolling green hills. Our boutique wine tasting tours suit wine enthusiasts of all ages and knowledge, with full day, half day and private options.

We share some of our hidden smaller 5-star boutique cellar doors with you, introduce you to friendly local wine makers and vineyard owners, and add a story or two of the local history along the way. Whether your favourite drop is a crisp semillon or you want to finally know what tannins are, spend the day with us.

Accessible tours are where we started

Hunter Valley Tours commenced operation in 2015 with a simple passion: to be the first privately owned, accessible, recreational tour service in the greater Hunter Valley. Our luxury minibus has a hydraulic lifter, an automatic slide-out step and rails, and we personally vet every venue we visit for ramps and lifts.

Most of our shared tours are fully accessible, and our team is trained in risk management, manual handling and transporting people with disabilities, so safety, dignity and comfort are maintained all day.

A celebration day, filmed in the valley

Words only get a wine tour so far. This short film follows a real pre-wedding celebration through the cellar doors, the laughs and the late golden light: the day as our guests actually live it.

It is the day a lot of groups book before a wedding, and it runs the same way for a milestone birthday or a weekend with friends: premium tastings, a stop at Small Mouth Vodka and a valley brewhouse, with the driving, the bookings and the timing left to us. Watch it through and you will have a fair idea of how your own day would feel.

Way above expectations!!!!!

Wow in this modern era who would believe a business with a heart. Due to a serious diagnosis the day before our tour we were 2 people short on our booking. Although they didnt have to they did not charge us. So kind. As for our driver Chris what a gem nothing was too much trouble. Julie's itinerary was AMAZING UNIQUE and flexible.

Fantastic half day tour with family

Julie designed a wonderful tour for my family ranging in age from 52-88 years. She made sure all the venues were accessible and took us to a great range of vineyards, chocolate, cheese, olive tastings as well as a fantastic gin and vodka distillery.

My friends and I had a wonderful day on our wineries tour, and were so impressed with Julie's care and professionalism during the day. Our vehicle was spotless, and our day went very smoothly. A fantastic experience and highly recommended!
