Newcastle Cruise Ship Wine & Food Experience
One perfect day ashore: we meet you at Newcastle Cruise Harbour, spend the day among Pokolbin's boutique cellar doors, and have you back with the ship still at the dock.

Ashore in wine country
Newcastle's cruise terminal sits less than an hour from one of Australia's oldest wine regions, a fact your ship's excursion desk may undersell. This small-group day is built by locals around cruise timings: pickup at the harbour when you disembark, an unhurried run of boutique cellar door tastings with cheese, chocolate and local spirits along the way, and a schedule that treats your all-aboard time as sacred. Cruise ship travellers rate us highly on TripAdvisor and Google, and we would love to show you why.

- Pickup and return at Newcastle Cruise Harbour, timed to your ship

Built for cruise days
This tour exists for days in port: tell us your ship and date when you book so the day lines up with your boarding time.

This tour is accessible, subject to availability. Tell us you need the hydraulic lift at the time of booking so we can have everything ready.
Small group
You travel with a handful of fellow guests, not a coach-load: nobody queues three-deep at a tasting bench.
