Pickup from Lake Macquarie
Pokolbin wine tours from Lake Macquarie
From the lake to the vines for a relaxed day out. We pick you up in Lake Macquarie and take you north to Pokolbin's boutique cellar doors, so you can taste, explore and enjoy the day without giving the driving a second thought.
A curated day among the vines
Immerse yourself in the charm of Pokolbin's wine country with a handpicked selection of wineries, chosen for their exceptional wines and warm hospitality. The journey from Lake Macquarie unfolds through rolling vineyards and lush landscapes, and we plan the day to make the most of both the scenery and the tastings.
Our knowledgeable local guides share insights into the winemaking, the region's history and the character of each vineyard. Whether you prefer crisp whites, robust reds, or a bit of both, the day can be personalised to your tastes, with gourmet food pairings and stops at local eateries along the way.

Getting you there from Lake Macquarie
Pickup and return
We collect you from your Lake Macquarie address and bring you home at the end of the day. Lake Macquarie sits outside the free local pickup area, a 12km radius of Pokolbin, so a one-off per-booking charge applies, quoted at the time of booking.
Easy to reach
Lake Macquarie is an easy run south of wine country, so it makes a comfortable starting point for a full day among the cellar doors, with time to settle in and enjoy the ride.
Pickup times
Pickups run from 9am, with your first cellar door pouring at 10am. We confirm your exact time the night before by text, email or phone. Booking within 12 hours? Call 0456 737 888 first.

Any wine you buy travels safely with you, and we drop you back home at the end of the day.
