Wine D Road Tours

Wine D Road Tours runs a full-day Hunter Valley experience that covers the full width of what the region does best: a minimum of four winery visits, stops at chocolate and cheese hot spots, a restaurant lunch, and minibus transport — all from $160 per person. The premium version with accommodation included runs at $210 per person.

Owned and operated by Cadair Cottage, Wine D Road Tours keeps groups to a maximum of 13 guests, maintaining the intimate scale that lets the guide actually engage with everyone on the bus. And engaging is the operative word — this is explicitly not a shuttle service. The driver is a tour guide who will share the history of the area and the wineries throughout the day, turning the transport time into part of the experience rather than dead time between tastings.

Complimentary pickup is arranged from accommodation in Pokolbin, Cessnock, Rothbury, Maitland, and Branxton — covering the main visitor areas of the Hunter Valley. The four-winery minimum ensures a genuinely comprehensive day, with the chocolate and cheese stops adding a gourmet dimension that pairs beautifully with the tastings.

The Hunter Valley's reputation is built on Semillon and Shiraz of unmistakable character — aged Hunter Semillon in particular transforms magnificently with a decade in the cellar, and the Shiraz from the valley's red volcanic soils is unlike anything produced elsewhere in Australia. Wine D Road Tours showcases both with a curated selection of estates that reflects the valley at its best.
