Exploring the Hunter Valley should be easy and enjoyable for everyone, including older travellers and guests with mobility concerns. At HV Tours, we’re proud to be the first privately owned tour company in the region to offer fully accessible wine tours since 2015. We’ve made sure that physical limitations don’t prevent any guest from enjoying top wines, local flavours, and stunning vineyard scenery
A More Comfortable Way to Explore
We’ve lived in the Hunter for years and know which wineries are best suited for people who need flat access, good seating and clean amenities. We avoid places with stairs or uneven paths and allow plenty of time between stops, so no one feels rushed or uncomfortable.
If you use a walking frame, stick or wheelchair, just let us know. We’ll build the day around what works best for you.
Private and Small Group Tours
HV Tours offer both small group and private wine tours that are perfect for seniors and guests with specific needs. You will travel in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle with door-to-door pickup from your accommodation.
We look after the planning, the driving and even help carry any wine you buy. Your only job is to relax and enjoy yourself.
Some of our most popular options include:
- Full-day and half-day wine tours with minimal walking
- Itineraries built around accessible venues with friendly service
- Cheese, chocolate or produce tastings for those who want to try something different
- Scenic drives with quiet places to stop and enjoy the view
If you’re celebrating a birthday, reunion or just want a gentle day out with friends, we can help tailor the tour to suit.
Guided by Friendly Locals Who Care
Our team is made up of locals who know the Hunter Valley inside and out. We’ve guided plenty of guests who need a little extra time or help, and always aim to make things easy and enjoyable.
We also know which cellar doors offer great service, flat access and quiet spaces to sit and enjoy a tasting. You won’t be herded through in a crowd. You’ll have time to talk, ask questions and enjoy every stop.
Venues with Easy Access
We choose boutique wineries, distilleries and food producers that have level access, flat paths, and friendly, helpful staff. You won’t need to navigate stairs, steep gravel or tight spaces. All locations are handpicked for accessibility and quality.
There’s no rush between stops. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy your tastings, take in the views and chat with locals.
Comfortable, Accessible Transport
Our luxury minibus is fitted with a hydraulic lifter, slide-out steps and secure handrails. It’s easy to board and spacious enough for mobility aids. The vehicle is fully air-conditioned and maintained for comfort on warmer Hunter days.
Our drivers and guides are trained in manual handling, accessibility awareness, and safe transport for people using wheelchairs or scooters. You’re in capable hands from start to finish.
