The Narrative
Designated Driver Hunter Valley does something elegantly simple: they provide the luxury car and the knowledgeable driver, and you design the tour. Choose your own wineries, restaurant, brewery, distillery, cheese or chocolate tasting — the itinerary is yours to build. Your driver handles the rest.
The service runs half-day and full-day options, with pre-designed pre-paid tours available through the week and on weekends for groups with a minimum of four passengers. Pre-designed tours come with tasting fees included at different venues, while the custom approach lets you build exactly the day you want.
With 70 five-star reviews, Designated Driver has built its reputation among Hunter Valley visitors who know what they want to see but want a professional, comfortable vehicle and a knowledgeable local guide to make it happen. The luxury car element distinguishes it from the minibus operators — there's a level of personalisation and intimacy to arriving at a cellar door in a private vehicle that simply doesn't replicate in a group tour bus.
Based in Cessnock, at the heart of the Hunter Valley wine country, the team is well-positioned to reach every corner of the region — from the classic Pokolbin corridor estates to the emerging Broke Fordwich sub-region to the east.

Frequently asked
- Can we really choose any wineries we want to visit?
- Yes — the custom option lets you nominate whichever wineries, restaurants, breweries, distilleries, or food producers you want to visit. Your driver will confirm logistics and timing to make the itinerary work smoothly within your available hours.
- What's the difference between the pre-designed and custom tours?
- Pre-designed tours are pre-paid packages with tasting fees already included at nominated venues — convenient for guests who want to book quickly without building their own itinerary. The custom option gives you full control over every stop, with pricing based on vehicle hire plus any tasting fees at your chosen venues.
- What vehicle is used?
- Designated Driver Hunter Valley operates luxury private cars rather than minibuses, accommodating up to 8 passengers. The private vehicle format creates a more intimate, premium experience compared to shared group tours.
