I signed up for a day trip with Hunter Valley Wine Tasting Tours. It was a full day trip with pick up and drop off at Sydney Central YHA (the hostel which I stayed in). I paid AUD $100 for the trip, exclusive of lunch. As the name suggests, it is a wine tasting tour! We were brought to a total of 4 wineries. At each winery, we were presented with an average of 6 glasses of wine samples for tasting. Note: you don't have to finish drinking everything, you can discard it if it is not your glass of wine.
Wonderful weather at Hunter Valley!
Wine sample. Not a full glass.
I found James Estate the most interesting and engaging. We were each presented with 4 glasses of wine as shown below, 2 white and 2 red, and a wine list. We were to match the name of the wine to the correct glass and the person who gets all 4 correct answers wins a free bottle of wine! Sounds simple! Yet, nobody in my group managed to get all the correct answer. However, all of us had lots of fun guessing and matching.
Here is a sample of the wine list with the price stated in AUD.
If you intend to buy more than 2L of wine back to Singapore, do check the amount of tax which you have to pay.
