Hunter Valley Explorer - Deluxe Self Guided Cycle Tour

The Hunter Valley is where wine-making started in Australia and remains one of the most important wine-producing areas in the country. In 1832, armed with 20,000 cuttings from Spain and France, James Busby established the first vineyards in Australia. Now, the region is famous for its Semillon and Shiraz. It’s also home to some great Chardonnays, Cabernet Sauvignon and Verdelho's.

On this self guided cycle they’ll take you on a journey around the Hunter Valley to experience some of the best it has to offer. It’s not just the wine on show – artisan olive producers, chocolatiers, chefs and bakers showcase the best of the region at the many farms, cafes and restaurants. Staying in deluxe accommodation allows you to relax at the end of each day, delighting in the surrounding vineyard views.

The beauty of the cycle is that you are free to set your own pace, with time to enjoy a long lunch, sample local delicacies or stop for wine tastings en route. With two days spent cycling in the Valley, you can really gain an appreciation for the exceptional wine and produce of the region.
