Fresh country air, the steady rhythm of hooves and nobody checking a map. It's an easy pick for grandparents, little ones and anyone who wants the Hunter scenery without giving up a whole day.Make an afternoon of it. The farm animals are right next door on a Farmyard Encounter self guided tour, and if the carriage wins you over, the Harvest the Hunter wine and produce tour keeps the same horse drawn pace across three tasting stops.Explore the dates that suit your crew, then check availability for your group.
