Hunter Valley Wine Cheese Chocolate and Coffee
Overview
About

And that’s not all. The basic package includes tastings at four different wineries (or three wineries and one distillery), chocolate tastings, and cheese tastings: but you can upgrade to add everything from gourmet lunches to wildlife experiences and reserve wines.
