This Private Experience is available to depart from either Sydney, Newcastle or Hunter Valley. Please let us know where you are staying at the time of booking and we will confirm pickup details.
The Hunter Valley wine country is home to world-famous wineries, acclaimed restaurants, and delicious local produce. With more cellar doors than any other wine region in Australia, one of the great pleasures of wine tasting here is the incredible breadth of flavour and character. While Hunter Valley Semillon and Shiraz have long been world-famous, you will also sip distinctive and innovative wines, from classic to newer varieties. The region is also home to the only locally owned and operated distillery in the Hunter using only premium organic or natural ingredients. The unique flavours produced in their award-winning gin and vodka are to be tasted to be believed! 🍷

We invite you to take a sensory excursion and gain insights into winemaking, meet passionate winemakers, and enjoy a memorable experience all without the hassle of driving.

Overall a great experience. The lookouts were stunning with by far the best lunch of any tour we have been on.
Friendly tour leader, Helder.
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.
