With the imposing Brokenback Mountain in the background, the Hunter Valley has been home to winemaking for nearly two hundred years. Big names work alongside boutique family makers and winemaking dynasties stretching back over six generations to produce world-class wines.
Travel across Sydney Harbour Bridge and leafy Northshore suburbs to escape the city. Soak up the stunning scenery as we cut through sandstone hills, while passing national parks with dense cover of the eucalyptus trees. Cross picturesque Hawkesbury River home to pearl and oyster farms. After brief refreshment stop, country road will lead you via Cessnock town centre to the first winery.
Begin your own wine story with the visit to three out of over 150 wineries; meet the makers, get their riddles and relish in premium wine tasting. Surrounded by undulating vineyards with wild kangaroos about, no matter what season, there is always time to appreciate glass of good wine.
Enjoy casual, fresh, and delicious one course a’ la carte lunch with complimentary glass of wine, beer, or soft drink in one of the Hunter Valley’s celebrated restaurants. All efforts are made to cater for most dietary restrictions. However, they must be clearly advised at the time of booking.
The valley makes exceptional dairy products, including hard-rind and soft cheeses. Sample from different varieties and find your new favourite while getting your questions answered by the shop connoisseurs.

Decided to take a tour of Sydney before we ventured on our own Hired Mark Wachtl www.wachtlaustralia.com.au. And it was great. Mark picked us up at the airport and took us all over the city and out to Bondi Beach where we stopped for lunch. We got an overall view of the city as well as some history. Mark was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us a map when we finished the tour, circling where we had been and suggestions of where we might want to go. He said to call him if we had any questions. He’s a great guide and I would recommend him.

Dear Mark, thank you so much for such a wonderful trip! You were so helpful, friendly, and professional. We both appreciated you sharing your extensive knowledge about Australia. Your comments regarding Aboriginal culture were especially insightful! The course you took sounded fascinating. Thanks again!

We have enjoyed our time in Australia immensely. We wish you well. If you are ever in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area – you have a place to stay. Fondly,
