Itinerary

  1. Krinklewood Vineyard

    one hour Admission included

    By 11:00 AM you'll arrive at your first destination—Krinklewood Estate. A hidden gem surrounded by Provençal-style gardens where peacocks roam freely. Here, you’ll indulge in an elegant wine tasting, perfectly paired with a locally sourced cheese and charcuterie board if you wish.

    Sip slowly as you'll be here for 1 1/2 hours. The perfect amount of time to enjoy the wine at an unhurried pace, take in the stunning atmosphere, and grab some Instagram-worthy photos in the grounds.

    Please note that cellar door visits may occasionally change on the day due to private events or venue availability. Rest assured, we work closely with a curated network of exceptional wineries and will always select outstanding alternatives to ensure a seamless, high-quality experience.

  2. Tinonee Vineyard Estate

    one hour Admission included

    At 12:00, we head to 1813, an elegant boutique cellar door set among the vines of Tinonee Vineyard Estate. Relax and enjoy a wine tasting experience in their air-conditioned cellar door during the warmer months and fireside on the adjoining terrace during the cooler months, whilst admiring the picturesque scenery and spectacular sandstone formation known as Yellow Rock.

    Please note that cellar door visits may occasionally change on the day due to private events or venue availability. Rest assured, we work closely with a curated network of exceptional wineries and will always select outstanding alternatives to ensure a seamless, high-quality experience.

  3. Stop 3

    1 h 30 min

    By 1:30 PM it’s time for a long, indulgent lunch.

    Nestled inside the Tuscan-inspired sandstone complex of Peppers Creek Village on Broke Road, Café Enzo has been one of the Hunter Valley's most-loved dining spots since 1996. The menu is built around locally sourced, homemade cooking — think generous plates, great coffee, and an alfresco courtyard that makes you want to linger. It's a genuine institution in the valley, known as much for its atmosphere and hospitality as for the food itself. Guests order and pay on the day.

  4. Keith Tulloch Wine

    one hour Admission included

    After Lunch we step into the polished calm of Keith Tulloch Wine—an architecturally striking, light-filled space framed by mountain views and sculpted lawns. This is a place where every detail feels intentional, from the clean lines of the tasting room to the quiet hum of a family estate that takes its craft seriously. Settle in for a guided tasting of their beautifully made wines, and, if you’d like to elevate the experience, you can opt to sample a selection of boutique gins crafted in partnership with local distillers. Before we depart, take a moment to browse the on-site artisan chocolatier, where handcrafted pieces offer the perfect finish to this elegant stop.
