Wonderful experience in Hunter Valley
A wonderful experience in the Hunter Valley Michael_K, Apr. 2026 We hadn't heard of the Hunter Valley before, and this wine region was recommended to us by Australian friends. Sabina contacted us a few days before the tour and asked about our specific preferences and requests. Because the sun sets early, we agreed to start the tour an hour earlier. Sabina made our day absolutely wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, introducing us to three wineries and having the tastings all planned out in advance. She was able to provide detailed insights into the region’s unique features, and during the time we had, we learned a great deal about viticulture and its history, as well as the land and its people. The ten-hour tour flew by. We can wholeheartedly recommend this private tour to anyone interested in wine and would go on another tour with Sabina as our guide anytime.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Michael 🌳 It was such a pleasure planning the day around your preferences and I am so glad we made the most of every minute of light! Hunter Valley is such a special place and I love that you got to discover it through its wineries, its history and its connection to the land. Ten hours really does fly by out there! Your kind words mean the world and I would absolutely love to take you exploring again anytime. Please give my warmest regards to your Australian friends who recommended the trip! Sabina

Wonderful Hunter Valley wine tour!
Sabina is extremely knowledgeable about wines and wineries in Hunter Valley. We arrived too early for our Petersons Winery tasting hence Sabina adapted and took us to a cheese and wine tasting. The cheese and winery shop was a gem called Fat Cow. Drank amazing 2011 Shiraz. And bought 6 bottles. What a deal $33/nottle. Fat Cow was a hidden gem found by Sabina. We would definitely recommend Sabina and book a wine tasting/hiking tour with her in the future .Who knew…she’s also a hiking guide. A great tour guide who also loves wine and hiking.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this beautiful review. I’m really glad we could adapt the day and that you ended up discovering Fat Cow too. It’s one of those little gems that make the Hunter Valley feel extra special. And yes, that 2011 Shiraz was such a good find. I really appreciate your kind words about my wine knowledge and guiding. It means a lot that you enjoyed both sides of what I do. Wine and hiking are two of my favourite worlds, so being able to share both with guests is pretty special for me too. Thank you again for trusting me with your day, and I’d love to take you out again in the future.

Awesome visit to Hunter Valley!
Sabina was awesome! We did the Hunter & Wollombi Valley private wine tour. Sabina picked us up at our hotel(she was there 10 minutes early) and off we went on the 2 hour trek to wine country. We first visited Tyrrell’s where Scott took great care of us. This was our first glimpse into the relationship Sabina has built with the wineries. They obviously love her and treat her guests exceptionally well. Then we met Pete at Hunter Valley Fat Cow where they do wine and cheese pairings with locally sourced wines. We then went to Petersons winery where we tasted some fabulous wines! We wrapped up our tastings at Savannah Estates. Given that Savannah Peterson is the founder of Savannah Estates and the youngest of the Peterson family to pursue her passion in wine, you would expect the wines to be fabulous … and they were! We also had a sampling of meat pies with our wine that were well worth the additional cost! We wrapped up our wine tasting and headed back to Sydney with one more stop in Wollombi where we stopped and wandered around the historic village! We totally enjoyed our day with Sabina and would enthusiastically recommend her tours!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this, it really means a lot to read. I loved spending the day with you and I’m so glad the Hunter and Wollombi Valley experience landed the way it did. Those relationships with the wineries are something I really value, so hearing that you felt looked after makes me smile. It was such a great flow of the day, good wine, good food, easy conversations and that last wander through Wollombi is always a nice way to slow things down before heading back. Thanks again for trusting me with your day and for the lovely recommendation. Hope to see you back out there again one day 🙂

Relaxing Day Among Hunter Valley Wineries
We had an amazing day on this private wine tour to the Hunter Valley and Wollombi Valley. I went with my parents, who were visiting Sydney for the first time, and it was a wonderful experience to share together. The drive out of the city was beautiful and relaxing, and stopping in Wollombi was a lovely surprise — a charming village with great scenery. The wine tastings were excellent, and we really enjoyed learning about Australian wines and the local wine culture. Everything was explained clearly and in an engaging way, making it enjoyable even for those who are not wine experts. What we appreciated most was how personal and relaxed the experience felt. There was no rushing, plenty of time to enjoy each winery, ask questions, and take in the surroundings.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for coming along, it was really lovely spending the day with you and your parents. I am so glad you enjoyed the drive, Wollombi, and the wine tastings. It was such a relaxed and easy day, and that is exactly how I like these private tours to feel. Wishing you all a beautiful rest of your time in Australia. Sabina :)

Absolutely amazing experience!
This wine tour was one of the highlights of my time in Australia. Sabina was incredible – warm, knowledgeable, and truly attentive. She took care of every detail, made the whole day feel effortless, and created such a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. The wineries we visited were beautiful, the tastings were perfectly paced, and the whole trip felt curated with so much thought. I loved discovering Hunter Valley this way. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sydney – especially if you appreciate great wine and a guide who genuinely loves what she does. Thank you, Sabina, for an unforgettable day!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for these beautiful words. It honestly means a lot to hear that the day stood out for you and became a highlight of your time in Australia. I loved sharing Hunter Valley with you and I’m so glad the pace, the wineries, and the overall flow of the day felt right. Creating a relaxed atmosphere where everything feels easy is exactly what I hope for on these tours. Thank you for trusting me with your day and for bringing such great energy along. It was a real pleasure hosting you, and I’m so happy the experience stayed with you. Hope our paths cross again one day. See you out there, Sabina

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sydney Private Hunter Valley All Inclusive Wine and Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Sydney Private Hunter Valley All Inclusive Wine and Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $150 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 Sydney Private Hunter Valley All Inclusive Wine and Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Sydney Private Hunter Valley All Inclusive Wine and Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 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 Sydney Private Hunter Valley All Inclusive Wine and Food Tour?
+
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 Sydney Private Hunter Valley All Inclusive Wine and Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sydney Private Hunter Valley All Inclusive Wine and Food Tour?
+
Around 5 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sydney Private Hunter Valley All Inclusive Wine and Food Tour 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.
