Private Hunter Valley Wine Tour from Sydney

A private Hunter Valley tour with Escape Scenes starts from $1,150 for two people — travelling in a 2023 Mercedes-Benz V300 V-Class, one of the most refined private touring vehicles available in Sydney. If you're bringing more friends or family, it's simply $100 per additional person up to a maximum of 7 passengers. You'll never share the vehicle with strangers — ever. Pricing may vary depending on special inclusions such as a gourmet lunch or additional cellar door experiences. Check availability and book directly above.

Your day begins the moment David arrives at your door in a 2023 Mercedes-Benz V300 V-Class — leather appointed, climate controlled and genuinely luxurious. This isn't a tired minibus shared with strangers. The vehicle is yours exclusively for the entire day, with no other passengers, ever. Add to that a fully customised itinerary built around your preferences, David's expert local knowledge, and access to off-the-beaten-track Hunter Valley wineries most group tours never reach — including boutique cellar doors, gourmet lunch options and artisan cheese tastings.

Absolutely — customisation is at the heart of every Escape Scenes tour. Whether you want to focus on boutique family-owned wineries, include a long lunch at a renowned Hunter Valley restaurant, or simply take things at your own pace, David builds your day around your preferences. There are no set schedules and no other guests — ever.

For most travellers the answer is yes — and the difference is significant. Group tours operate on fixed schedules with strangers, often rushing between major commercial cellar doors. A private tour with Escape Scenes means complete flexibility, personalised winery selections and an experience shaped entirely around what you enjoy. It's the difference between a tour and a genuine day out.

Yes, I offer private door-to-door hotel pickup from anywhere in Sydney CBD, the Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, and surrounding areas. Your day begins the moment I arrive at your accommodation — no need to find a meeting point or navigate public transport.

Pickup times are arranged around your group and the day's itinerary, typically between 7:00am and 8:30am depending on your location.

I don't lock in a fixed winery list — that's the whole point of a private tour. Before your day I'll ask about your preferences, whether that's bold reds, crisp whites, sparkling, or a mix, and build the vineyard visits around what you actually enjoy.

The Hunter Valley has over 150 wineries and I have strong relationships with a selection of boutique producers that don't appear on the standard group tour circuit. Tyrrells, Brokenwood, and Pepper Tree are popular choices but I'll always tailor the selection to your taste.

Absolutely — private Hunter Valley tours are ideal for couples and special occasions including anniversaries, birthdays, and romantic getaways. Because the vehicle is exclusively yours, the entire day is tailored around you with no other passengers, no shared itineraries, and no compromise.

I can arrange special touches like a champagne welcome, a private vineyard lunch, or a sunset finish to make the occasion truly memorable.

To secure your preferred date, I recommend booking at least a month in advance. As a completely private, one-on-one touring experience, I take on limited bookings each month — and if my calendar looks quiet I'll often commit to other work. Getting in early means you get the date you want and the full attention your tour deserves. That said, if you're planning something last minute, always reach out — I'll do my best to make it work.
