Sit Down in the Vines with a Wine Expert and a Bottle You Pick Yourself

You collect a handpicked bottle and a gourmet picnic hamper, choose your own spot among the vines, and spend two hours without feeling rushed or crowded. Book a departure time that fits your schedule—slots run from 10:30am to 3pm—and bring someone to share the hamper with.

The Experience

"So what happens if we just stay here all afternoon?" That's the question you'll be asking yourself once you've settled into a quiet corner of the 270-acre Audrey Wilkinson property with your picnic hamper spread out and a glass of wine in hand. The experience starts indoors—a self-guided walk through the onsite museum gives you the backstory of the vineyard without anyone rushing you through it—but the real thing happens once you're outside with the wine expert's masterclass. They'll walk you through a premium tasting, explaining what you're actually tasting instead of just nodding along, and you'll leave with a bottle they've handpicked for you to take home.

The picnic hamper comes ready to share between two, and you get to choose where you sit on the property. That part matters more than it sounds. Instead of being herded to a designated spot with twenty other groups, you're picking your own view—somewhere among the vines where it genuinely feels like you've got the whole place to yourself. The gourmet hamper is included, so there's no scrambling to find lunch, and you'll get an etched Audrey Wilkinson glass to keep as a reminder of the afternoon. The whole Hunter Valley wine tasting experience runs two hours, and you can pick from four departure times: 10:30am, noon, 1:30pm, or 3pm, so you can slot it around the rest of your day.

Minimum booking is two people, and you need to be 18 to drink—that's the only real constraint. If you have dietary requirements for the hamper, just mention them when you book. The vineyard is wheelchair accessible throughout, and service animals are welcome on the property.
