Hunter Valley Cadillacs
Looking for a wine tour with a difference? These tours are a unique and fun way to sample the Hunter Valley's fantastic wineries, first class restaurants and breath taking scenery enjoying your complimentary glass of champagne. They are completely flexible and have no set itinereries, preferring to tailor each tour to suit your tastes giving you the opportunity to have as little or as much input into your tour as you wish. They specialise in visiting the smaller boutique wineries where your tasting is often given by the owners and winemakers themselves.

A visit to the Chocolate Company or perhaps some cheese or olive tasting can all be included if you wish. Their tours are private and booked exclusively for you, therefore, you will not be asked to share your tour with other guests. They can cater for smaller group tours and have a maximum seating capacity of 13 passengers when using both cars for a tour. They pick up and return from your accommodation within the wineries region.

The Yellow Brick Guide
The Yellow Brick Guide is like a travel show that you travel through. Local characters take you under their wing to show you the hidden treasures off the beaten track. And tell you the
inside story about what you’re seeing as you go. It all happens automatically from their unique GPS unit that you pick up and keep for the length of your stay. It gives you directions
and weaves together music and stories at just the right moments as you travel. Stop off wherever you want. Linger if you feel like it. Take a detour if the feeling grabs you. Just follow
your instincts.
Needless to say you don’t have to stress about maps, or where the turn-off is, or wonder what’s down that road. You just do what you love doing; Exploring. Discovering. Experiencing ... Travelling. Just choose your tour, tune in your stereo and follow the yellow brick guide.

Three leading Hunter Valley winemakers take you to the places they take friends and family to when they come to visit. And tell you the inside story about what you're seeing as you go. Each drive is a mix of the familiar that you'll see in a new light, beautiful views along winding country roads and curious little finds that are the real joy of travelling. Chocolate. Cheese. Champagne. Art. Farm gate produce. Gourmet food. Wine of course. Take it at whatever pace feels right.

$39 for the length of your stay. Three ½ day tours on one device. Keep it till you leave. Featured on Sydney Weekender http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaqs1F7Kzgk
