Hunter Valley Food & Wine Tours

A food & wine tour combines wine tastings with a quality meal — typically a 2 or 3-course lunch at a winery restaurant — as the centrepiece of the experience. This is distinct from a standard wine tour where food might be a light snack accompaniment.

Standard inclusions are: transport from your departure city, visits to 3–5 wineries, guided wine tastings, and a gourmet lunch — typically at a winery restaurant. Confirm exact inclusions on Viator before booking as operators vary in whether premium tastings or additional cellar door visits are included.

A food & wine tour places the meal at the centre of the day — often at a winery restaurant — with wine pairings or a structured tasting built around the food. Standard wine tours may include snacks but not a full lunch, and the pacing tends to allow more cellar door stops.

Yes. Half-day options exist — typically including a cheese or chocolate pairing alongside 2–3 cellar door visits. The full-day format with a proper restaurant lunch is more common on Viator and tends to offer a more complete experience.

Most operators accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary requirements. Confirm at booking — Viator listings include a notes field for dietary requirements. Wine pairing alternatives are often available for non-drinkers.
