If you’re staying in Lovedale and want to explore the best cellar doors, distilleries and food producers in the Hunter Valley, you’re in a great spot. At HV Tours, we offer door-to-door pickup from Lovedale for most of our tours, making it easy to relax and enjoy a full day of tastings without worrying about driving or directions.
Lovedale is known for its peaceful setting, boutique wineries and charming accommodation. It’s just minutes from Pokolbin but offers a more laid-back experience, perfect for couples, small groups or guests looking for something a bit quieter.
Pickup for Half and Full Day Tours
If your accommodation is within 12 km of Hunter Valley Gardens, your pickup is included in the tour price. Most Lovedale cottages, villas and retreats fall within this zone. We’ll confirm the exact time the day before your booking and collect you directly from your front door in our air-conditioned tour vehicle.
We regularly pick up from locations such as:
- Emma’s Cottage Vineyard
- Leaves and Fishes
- Tonic Hotel
- The Boathouses
- Ironstone Estate
- Lovedale Cottages

If you’re unsure whether your accommodation is covered, just contact us and we’ll be happy to confirm.
