07.30AM Your informative and knowledgeable guide will collect you from your Sydney hotel. Departing from the city, we travel north over the Sydney Harbour Bridge
via the Gore Hill Freeway to join the Pacific Highway and then the F3 freeway. We will travel directly to the Hunter Valley, which is nestled in the lee of the Great Dividing Range. 180 years young, this is Australia’s oldest and best-known wine region and is soaked in history. It’s a dynamic and fascinating area that brims with over 150 top class wineries, 65 indulgent restaurants as well as gourmet produce and boutique breweries. Today you will experience 3 of the Hunter Valleys most iconic vineyards – Audrey Wilkinson, Brokenwood and Tyrrell’s. Each vineyard will host you on their quintessential signature wine experience to give you a truly premium and behind the scenes look into their vineyards and wine making process.
TYRRELL’S, VIP PREMIUM TASTING – Discover over 160 years of family winemaking on your visit to Tyrrell’s, one of the oldest family-owned wineries in Australia. Join a member of the Tyrrell’s team on the VIP Premium Tasting Experience as they take you on a journey through some of the most iconic and award winning, Tyrrell’s wines. You will enjoy a tutored tasting of several of the best Winemaker’s Selection wines, including both current vintages and aged release wines that have been carefully selected from the Tyrrell family’s private cellar.
THE BROKENWOOD MATCH – After taking in the beautiful scenery of the Hunter Valley, you arrive at Brokenwood. Established in 1970, Brokenwood Wines has evolved from a weekend venture for self-professed hobby winemakers into one of Australia’s most reputable wine labels. Here we are greeted by one of the friendly concierge staff who will take you to the Match room where you will enjoy a seated wine and food flight with a selection of 6 Brokenwood wines matched with bite-sized canapés*. (Canapés vary according to seasonal produce availability). From here it’s to the restaurant to enjoy a delicious Main course and one side per person. (beverages not included/at own expense)
AUDREY WILKINSON, Fromage & Fortified – On arrival at this stunning winery, time to enjoy a self-guided tour of the onsite museum before being met by our host for a unique and memorable experience for the discerning wine and food connoisseurs. Guided by our in-house wine expert, your seated tasting experience will take place in our heritage listed museum space. Alongside sampling our range of premium wine, your host will deliver three generous tastings direct from the barrel where our fortified wines are maturing – an experience exclusive to this package.

We spent almost 9 hours on a bus with inadequate air conditioning and no curtains, exposed to the sun for most of the journey. The guide’s audio was barely understandable, and the audio guides for non-English speakers were practically useless.
We spent more time on the bus than actually enjoying the places we visited. Very disappointing, especially for such a long and expensive tour.
We had the most incredible Blue Mountains tour celebrating my mom’s 50th birthday! The entire day was unforgettable — from the stunning scenery to the amazing experiences along the way. We especially loved stopping in the charming local town and visiting the zoo, where we got to go inside the enclosures with wallabies and see koalas up close. It made the trip feel so personal and special.
A huge thank you to our wonderful tour guide, Helder, who truly made the day even better. He was so knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly talented at photography — he captured beautiful photos for us throughout the tour that we’ll treasure forever. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience.
Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Australia, especially if you’re celebrating a special occasion!
Our guide Helder, was so interesting, knowledgeable and humorous which made the trip all the more enjoyable.
Highlights were a farm with kangaroos, koalas, emus and many other favorites, waterfalls, Blue Mountains, a fantastic lunch (we had the delicious beef pie) and many other sites.
Highly recommend this tour. You won’t regret it.
What really stands out is how attentive Karyn is to every guest. She remembers names, preferences, and little details, and somehow manages to make each person feel personally looked after, whether it’s adjusting the pace, suggesting the perfect photo spot, or recommending a café or restaurant that suits your tastes. Her timing is impeccable, her organisation is seamless, and you always feel like you’re in very capable hands – nothing ever feels rushed or chaotic.
By the end of the tour, it feels less like you’ve been shown around by a guide and more like a local friend has taken you out to experience the best of Sydney. Karyn turns a great itinerary into an unforgettable experience, and she is a huge part of what makes AEA Luxury Tours live up to its name. I would absolutely recommend requesting Karyn specifically – she elevates an already premium tour into something truly memorable
Excellent, we loved it and the guide was fantastic, always available to explain everything with excellent general knowledge. I recommend him for his professionalism and friendliness.
We also took an all-day tour of the Blue Mountains with Larry, whose knowledge of the history, geology, flora, and fauna of the mountains is nothing short of spectacular. If you visit Sydney, take a tour with AEA. You will not regret it.
Give him a raise . We really saw a lot in one day , they provide lunch . Not only plants , botanical gardens , the farm with kangaroos, Koala, and more , the Grand Canyon , waterfalls . And cockatoos as wild all over . He made sure to explain everything and answer our questions. He was on time all day !
Karyn was great, very informative, and knowledgeable about her history.
