No more than 11 guests per tour. Solo travellers are welcome, but minimum numbers apply, so get in touch with the team to book a single seat.
Guests must be 18 or over because of the cellar door tastings, so the tour isn't suitable for children. Non drinkers can choose the non alcoholic option at no extra cost and enjoy premium alcohol free Hunter wines.
Dealcoholised wines can contain up to 0.5% alcohol, so they may not suit anyone avoiding alcohol completely for pregnancy, medical or faith reasons.
The team practises responsible service of alcohol. Cellar doors may ask for photo ID and can refuse service at their discretion, and guests who are intoxicated may be refused travel without a refund.
The tour runs in all weather, with tastings and lunch undercover. Cancel more than 24 hours before your start time for a full refund; later cancellations and no shows aren't refundable, and if the operator cancels for severe weather or low numbers you'll get a new date or a full refund.
Dressy casual: cellar doors don't allow thongs, ripped clothing, costumes or men's singlets. Closed shoes are best for vineyard walking, plus a light jacket in the cooler months.
