Coast to Cork Palm Beach & Central Coast Wine Tour. Palm Beach Ferry to Ettalong for Tour pick-up.
I have now been on two of the Coast to Cork Hunter wine tours in the past year and both were excellent. I found the tasting sizes were generous and the food options reasonably priced. We visited different cellar doors on each of my visits so i got to experience a wide variety of wines. We took the Palm Beach ferry to Ettalong pick-up option. The tour is professionally run but also very friendly and Daniel is knowledgeable about the different cellars and the local vineyards. My firends also enjoyed the tour immensly and we are considering doing it again in six months time! I would highly recommend this tour. Miclelle K
Response from the operator: Michelle, thank you so much for this — and for being such a wonderful returning guest! Knowing you've joined us twice now, and that your friends had a great time too, genuinely means the world to us. We love that you got to explore a completely different set of cellar doors on your second visit — that's exactly the experience we hope to create, and the Hunter Valley makes it so easy with the sheer variety of incredible producers out there. Daniel will be over the moon to read your kind words about his knowledge and hospitality — he truly loves sharing this region with guests. The Palm Beach ferry to Ettalong pick-up is such a beautiful way to start the day, isn't it? We're glad that worked so well for you and your group. We would absolutely love to have you back in six months — fingers crossed we can make it happen! In the meantime, thank you for recommending us. It means more than you know.

Sydney Wine Tour of quality!
I've done my fair share of wine tours and this one was up there with some of the best. They took us to three great wineries. And the wines were all amazing. Much more quality and boutique than some you get on standard tours. The lunch venue was beautiful the food was another level. At an extra cost. The bus was clean and comfortable. The journey was simple. I would 100% say do this tour. It's worth the money and the journey. I don't think I left any of the tastings they were all insanely delicious !
Response from the operator: We’re really glad you enjoyed the boutique wineries we visited. One of the things we care most about at Coast to Cork is taking guests somewhere a little more special than the standard tour route, so it’s lovely to hear that came through in your experience. We’re also thrilled you loved the lunch venue and the wines (it’s always a good sign when you don’t want to leave a tasting!). Creating a relaxed, comfortable day with great wine, beautiful surroundings and memorable food is exactly what we hope every guest walks away with. Thank you again for taking the time to share this — and hopefully we’ll see you back in the Hunter Valley again one day.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re really glad to hear you had such a wonderful day out in the Hunter and that the cellar doors and lunch spot were a hit. It’s always lovely to know the day felt seamless and enjoyable for everyone. Thanks again for choosing Coast to Cork — we’d love to have you back anytime. Cheers, Kylie & Daniel Coast to Cork 🍷

Stunning wine tasting and fine dining experience …just awesome!
I can’t recommend this trip enough, we had the best day from beginning to end. Daniel was very informative and great company. The wine tasting was fantastic, in some beautiful locations and the fine dining lunch was in the most spectacular surroundings. If you’re looking for something decadent to do for a very reasonable price (and enjoy wine!) this is definitely the trip to go on. Thank you Daniel and Kylie for everything, I hope we’ll be back one day.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind words—we’re so glad you had such a fantastic day with us! It’s great to hear Daniel made the experience even more enjoyable, and that the wine, the lunch, and the locations all hit the mark. We love being able to offer something a little bit special, without the fuss, and it’s always lovely to hear when that’s exactly how the day felt. We'd be absolutely stoked to have you join us again one day! Warmest thanks, Kylie & Daniel

Exceptional wine tour and lunch
Exceptional tour. ‘Luxury’ does not do it justice. Gorgeous comfortable car, pick up from hotel. We loved it. Daniel, our guide was so knowledgeable and personable. The wine tastings were wonderful, learning so much and we just loved the perfect lunch in Molines. Best ever. We had such a great time and would unequivocally recommend this tour to anyone.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this glowing review – we’re absolutely thrilled to hear you had such a memorable day with us! It means the world to know the experience exceeded your expectations, and that the comfort of the car, the personalised pick-up, and of course, Daniel’s company all made for a standout day. He’ll be stoked to hear your kind words – he genuinely loves what he does and it shows. We’re so glad you enjoyed the wine tastings and the stunning lunch at Bistro Molines – it really is one of the best spots in the Valley, and we couldn’t agree more about the setting and the food. Thanks again for your recommendation – it’s the biggest compliment we could ask for. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another luxury day in wine country. Warmest, Kylie & Daniel Coast to Cork

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxury Hunter Valley Wine Tour with Fine Dining | From Sydney CBD: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Luxury Hunter Valley Wine Tour with Fine Dining | From Sydney CBD cost?
+
Prices start at $404 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Luxury Hunter Valley Wine Tour with Fine Dining | From Sydney CBD take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Luxury Hunter Valley Wine Tour with Fine Dining | From Sydney CBD worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxury Hunter Valley Wine Tour with Fine Dining | From Sydney CBD?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Luxury Hunter Valley Wine Tour with Fine Dining | From Sydney CBD suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxury Hunter Valley Wine Tour with Fine Dining | From Sydney CBD?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxury Hunter Valley Wine Tour with Fine Dining | From Sydney CBD start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
