En Route
Heading out of the city we will firstly take the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and travel through the Northern suburbs to the gorgeous Hunter Valley. Our journey time will be approximately two hours, so sit back and enjoy the stunning scenery.
Hunter Valley
Attracting more than 2.5 million visitors every year the Hunter Valley is one of Australia’s premier wine producing regions. Due to the climate and soil the region specialises in Semillon and Shiraz but also produces award winning Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Gartelmann Wines
For our first stop we invite you to come sit out on the back deck of this beautiful boutique, family run vineyard. Nibble on some locally produced cheese whilst sampling their multi award winning Semillon and Shiraz as well as a selection of their other wines.
Pooles Rock Winery
Pooles Rock Winery was established in 1988 and has a best of region philosophy, sourcing the best grapes from the best wine regions across Australia. We'll sample an exclusive selection of wines from their single vineyard, Premiere, and Museum ranges.
Lunch: Hunters Quarters
A two-course exquisite luncheon awaits at our favourite local haunt. Hunters Quarter (or HQ as the locals call it) is an institution winning the 2022 Australian Prestige Award for Contemporary Restaurant of the Year. Owner and Head Chef, Brian Duncan brings a wealth of global and local experience in fine dining. He has worked at the Dorchester Hotel (3 Michelin stars) and Claridges Hotel (One Michelin Star). Since moving to Sydney he has been the Executive Chef at Level 41 and The Establishment, earning 3 Hats at each (Australia’s equivalent to the Michelin Star). His secret? Simple, fresh, local seasonal produce. You're going to be in gastronomic heaven.
