About this tour
Our private Hunter Valley wine tour is the premier choice for guests seeking an intimate and sophisticated escape. This bespoke half-day tour is specifically designed for a private group of 1–4 people, ensuring that your experience remains personal, unhurried, and elite.
Whether you are looking for a curated exploration of the most prestigious estates or simply want to escape the bus tours, Todd Tours delivers. We specialise in visits to boutique wineries where you can meet the makers and taste award-winning varietals far from the crowds.
During your 4-hour journey we focus on quality over quantity — typically three hand-picked cellar doors including a heritage estate like Tyrrell’s and a smaller, family-run boutique winery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Morning or afternoon — which is better?
Both have their charm. Morning slots tend to have cooler temperatures and quieter cellar doors; afternoon slots can finish with golden-hour light over the vines. Pick whichever suits your schedule.
How many wineries do we visit on a half-day tour?
Typically three cellar doors plus a quick stop for cheese or chocolate if you wish. Quality over quantity is the focus.
Can we extend to a full day on the day?
If time permits and our schedule allows, yes — but we recommend booking the full-day tour up front if you want flexibility. Please ask.
Is pickup available from outside the Hunter Valley?
This tour is designed for guests already staying in the Hunter Region (Pokolbin, Rothbury, Lovedale, Cessnock). If you’re coming from Sydney, see our Full Day Tour from Sydney instead.
What if I have a designated non-drinking partner?
Non-drinkers are very welcome — we can include scenic stops, gourmet food experiences, or a distillery alongside the wine tastings.
Are tasting fees included?
No — tasting fees are charged by individual cellar doors and invoiced prior to the tour. This keeps the experience flexible while ensuring your spots are secured.
