Great bespoke Hunter tour
Have experienced going to Hunter valley twice with Todd as I find him very reliable. We were able to workout an itinerary within 30 minutes as Todd is very quick to response to queries and knows and he really knows the area well. He was able to go above and beyond the tour. We enjoyed all of his suggested restaurants and wineries. We were well taken care off.

Todd’s Private Hunter Valley Wine Tour
Our private winery tour for two was perfect! It We loved that Todd picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at the end of the day. He is an excellent driver and drove a new vehicle. He was very familiar with the Hunter Valley and shared his knowledge. His choice of 4 wineries offered different presentations and great wine tastings. We had lunch at Enzo’s. Excellent food and a breath taking setting. Todd is your man if you want a perfect, private wine tour experience. If you are interested in tours other than wine, contact Todd.

Highly recommended.
Breakfast, 3 wineries and a sit down lunch. A pretty full day of excellent wineries and tastings. Todd was a great driver and host. He was most knowledgable. He chose excellent wineries for us and we had a most enjoyable day. Highly recommended. David and Kath

Great tour highly recommend. Todd was very engaged pre tour selecting the wineries that we would like and very accommodating on the day when we overran due to the great wines we were tasting! Would definitely go with Todd again on this or his other tours he offers. Thanks Todd!

A fantastic wine tasting experience all around.
Todd provided an exceptional Hunter Valley wine tour experience, tailored to our desire to visit specific, established vineyards. His proactive approach was fantastic; he contacted us well in advance to meticulously arrange our tasting reservations at Mount Pleasant, Audrey Wilkinson, Tyrrell's, and Hunter Distillery, as well as our lunch. On the day, he was right on time at our Sydney hotel, and his driving to the Hunter Valley was both professional and safe, taking just over two hours. This allowed us to relax and fully enjoy a wonderful wine tasting trip. If you value a known itinerary and excellent service, go with Todd.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Hunter Valley Wine Tour | Full Day Experience From Sydney: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Private Hunter Valley Wine Tour | Full Day Experience From Sydney cost?
+
Prices start at $298 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 Private Hunter Valley Wine Tour | Full Day Experience From Sydney 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 Private Hunter Valley Wine Tour | Full Day Experience From Sydney worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Private Hunter Valley Wine Tour | Full Day Experience From Sydney?
+
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 Private Hunter Valley Wine Tour | Full Day Experience From Sydney 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 Private Hunter Valley Wine Tour | Full Day Experience From Sydney?
+
Around 3 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 Private Hunter Valley Wine Tour | Full Day Experience From Sydney 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.
