Small-Group Hunter Valley Wine Tours
Small-group Hunter Valley wine tours compared by the group cap each one prints, from 10 to 14 guests: from Sydney, from Newcastle and in the valley, and what a private day takes.
“Small group” means different numbers on different tours, and many tours use the words without a number. Choose one that prints its cap. From Sydney, the clearest is Boutique Tours Australia’s From Sydney: All-Inclusive Boutique Hunter Valley Wine Tour, limited to 14 guests, with every tasting fee and a lakeside lunch in the price: from US$173 a person (checked November 2026).
The calendar above is the all-inclusive boutique day, with 102 reviews (checked November 2026). It collects from four Sydney hotel pickup points, tastes at 3-4 boutique wineries with a sommelier, and adds a guided cheese tasting; it is not suitable for anyone under 18.

Door to door from Sydney, up to 11
One day from Sydney collects you from your own address. Coast to Cork, Hunter Valley Wine Tours runs a small-group day for up to 11 guests in a Mercedes van, from your Sydney CBD hotel or address, leaving at 8am and back around 6pm. It visits three cellar doors, Krinklewood, 1813 at Tinonee and Keith Tulloch Wine, which can change on the day, and at Keith Tulloch Wine a gin tasting can be added at no extra charge and an artisan chocolatier is on site. Lunch is at Café Enzo in Pokolbin and paid on the day. It is from US$258 a person on Viator (checked November 2026).
Private days
None of the tours on this site is sold as a private day. On Colourful Collective's full day from Sydney, private tours are available for groups with children, since the shared tour takes only over-18s. For a private day otherwise, the smallest caps above, 10 guests, come closest.
