Day trips from Brooklyn
Hunter Valley wine tours from Brooklyn
Brooklyn is one of those places that already feels like a day off. Perched on the southern bank of the Hawkesbury River, heading north to the Hunter Valley is a natural extension of that feeling, and a guided tour means nobody has to think about the drive.
From the Hawkesbury to the Hunter
Most people in Brooklyn are used to getting out on the water, not heading inland. But the Hunter Valley makes for a genuinely good change of pace, trading the Hawkesbury for rolling vineyard country and fish and chips for a long winery lunch. We pick up from a location that suits your group, then it is an easy ride north while you get the day started.
Once you arrive, the focus is on boutique cellar doors that do not feel like tourist traps: smaller producers, real winemakers, wines you will not find at the local bottle shop. A full-day tour runs about eight hours with your first tasting from 10am and a sit-down lunch included, and half-day options are available if a shorter day suits.

What is on the day
The Hunter spreads across Pokolbin, Lovedale and Cessnock, and the day can include local distilleries, cheese and chocolate producers or a craft brewery, built around what your group is after. The tours page has the options.
Good for groups
Brooklyn has the kind of tight-knit community feel where a group day out tends to happen properly. Getting everyone onto the one bus keeps the group together, means nobody is on sparkling water all day, and makes the whole thing a lot more enjoyable. Wine tours from Brooklyn work well for birthdays, hens and bucks weekends, groups of friends and work celebrations, and private tours are available for groups who want the day entirely to themselves. Any wine you buy travels safely on the bus with you. Weekends fill up, especially in the warmer months, so it is worth getting in touch early.
