    Tulloch Wines

    By 10:00 AM we arrive at our first destination, where you will experience one of two exclusive and unforgettable tastings. For wine collectors and connoisseurs, we offer private access to Thomas Allen. This is arguably the most esteemed cellar door in the Hunter Valley. This winery produces wines solely for its members, and no other tour company has access to its cellar door. This is a rare opportunity to taste and purchase wines that are simply unavailable elsewhere. Alternatively, you may join one of the Hunter Valley’s most distinguished wine families, Tulloch, for what we believe to be the region’s finest tasting experience. Set in a breathtaking location, this is an elegant and immersive introduction to the craftsmanship behind some of the Hunter’s most celebrated wines, paired with a carefully curated selection of local cheese and charcuterie.
