07.30AM Your informative and knowledgeable guide will collect you from your Sydney hotel. Departing from the city, we travel north over the Sydney Harbour Bridge
via the Gore Hill Freeway to join the Pacific Highway and then the F3 freeway. We will travel directly to the Hunter Valley, which is nestled in the lee of the Great Dividing Range. 180 years young, this is Australia’s oldest and best-known wine region and is soaked in history. It’s a dynamic and fascinating area that brims with over 150 top class wineries, 65 indulgent restaurants as well as gourmet produce and boutique breweries. Today you will experience 3 of the Hunter Valleys most iconic vineyards - Audrey Wilkinson, Brokenwood and Tyrrell's. Each vineyard will host you on their quintessential signature wine experience to give you a truly premium and behind the scenes look into their vineyards and wine making process.
TYRRELL'S, VIP PREMIUM TASTING - Discover over 160 years of family winemaking on your visit to Tyrrell’s, one of the oldest family-owned wineries in Australia. Join a member of the Tyrrell’s team on the VIP Premium Tasting Experience as they take you on a journey through some of the most iconic and award winning, Tyrrell's wines. You will enjoy a tutored tasting of several of the best Winemaker’s Selection wines, including both current vintages and aged release wines that have been carefully selected from the Tyrrell family’s private cellar.
THE BROKENWOOD MATCH - After taking in the beautiful scenery of the Hunter Valley, you arrive at Brokenwood. Established in 1970, Brokenwood Wines has evolved from a weekend venture for self-professed hobby winemakers into one of Australia’s most reputable wine labels. Here we are greeted by one of the friendly concierge staff who will take you to the Match room where you will enjoy a seated wine and food flight with a selection of 6 Brokenwood wines matched with bite-sized canapés*. (Canapés vary according to seasonal produce availability). From here it’s to the restaurant to enjoy a delicious Main course and one side per person. (beverages not included/at own expense)
AUDREY WILKINSON, Fromage & Fortified - On arrival at this stunning winery, time to enjoy a self-guided tour of the onsite museum before being met by our host for a unique and memorable experience for the discerning wine and food connoisseurs. Guided by our in-house wine expert, your seated tasting experience will take place in our heritage listed museum space. Alongside sampling our range of premium wine, your host will deliver three generous tastings direct from the barrel where our fortified wines are maturing - an experience exclusive to this package.
