[2025 Pokolbin Restaurant] Travel Guide for Hunter Valley (Updated Jul)

Took a day trip tour to Hunter Valley. The best tour guide Sam drove us from Sydney central. The ride was 2 hours. Once at the farm we got to go to 2 wine tasting sampling. Each time we had around 8 glasses. This tour comes with lunch. Love how the farm feel. So peaceful. Best time of they year to visit in Dec - Jan Where the vineyards will be filled to the brim with bunches of grapes. Visited Hunters Dream. Got to meet the owner himself who took the time to explain on Shiraz and Sparkling wine. Will definitely visit again #huntervalley #sydney #awesomepic #couplestrip
