Hunter Valley by Colourful Trips

Tour Itinerary

Drayton's Wintery

We like to support the locals and Drayton's, one of the Hunter Valley's pioneering wine makings families, are one of the few local winery companies still family owned and operated. While you're settling into wine tasting we're cooking the BBQ. If you find a wine you like, then buy a bottle between some friends and enjoy it with lunch.

Sausage sizzle BBQ Lunch

Australia is the land of BBQs so enjoy the spirit of the classic Aussie tradition of a sausage sizzle. To make this lunch even more special we cook some 'bush tucker' for you to try.

McGuigans

This award winning winery is another family owned, Hunter Valley classic with lots of character. Our group sits down in a private area surrounded by enormous barrels filled with wine. With up to 12 tastings of different types of varietals of wine, the laughs and fun keep coming.

Cheese tasting

See it, smell it, taste it, love it! A regional cheese board full of delicious cheese for you to try in a picnic setting away from the crowds. With tasting notes to help you, you'll enjoy different types of local delights including Fromage Blanc, Brie, Vintage Cheddar, Goats Tomme and Blue.

Blue Tongue Brewery

Time for a cleansing beer some more wine or a coffee. At the Hunter Valley's first and only boutique brewery you can try the unique Beer Tasting Paddle (own expense) with accompanying notes for each of the brews while you laze away the afternoon listening to great music. Apart from the cafe, there's also two cellar doors nearby if you wish to continue wine tasting at you own leisure.

Hunter Valley Village

Wine, beer, chocolate, fudge, lollies, liqueurs, gifts, souvenirs, books, olives, clothing and art. It's all here so take some time wandering through this quaint village to maybe find a special souvenir of your day n the Hunter Valley.
