The example day above, as a printed sheet.

Three steps to a plan you can print.

  1. Shortlist what appeals

    Browse on the map or by venue type. Filter for what fits: a grape you like, dog-friendly, open on the Monday you’re free, walkable from your last stop.

  2. Pick the day and how you’ll get around

    Set the date, your start time and your finish time. Then choose how you move between stops: shuttle, driver, taxi, bike or on foot. Any leg can differ from the last.

  3. Take it with you

    Print it, share the link, or open it on your phone at the gate. Addresses, phone numbers and travel times come with it, and it flags any stop that’s too tight to make or shut that day.

You'll want lunch and a place to stay.

You'll spend longer over lunch than a tasting, and a place to stay works best near your last stop, not your first. Line both up here and you won't be doubling back.

311 venues to choose from. For each one you get the days it opens and the tasting fee, plus the date we last checked.

The bits that catch people out.

Questions people ask

Which regions can I plan for?
Hunter Valley, with 311 venues across 7 sub-regions. Each one lists its opening days, fees and facilities, with the date those details were last checked. More regions are on the way.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
Planning is free and needs no account. Your trip is saved in this browser, and a share link carries the whole plan in the URL. An account matters only if you want to leave a review or keep trips across devices.
Does the planner know real opening hours?
Yes, and it schedules around them. You get a warning when a stop is tight or shut on the date you picked. Where a venue publishes no hours, the planner treats that as unknown and tells you so.
How do you order the suggestions?
By road minutes from the stops already in your plan, so the nearest one to anywhere you have chosen comes first. A place to stay is measured from your last stop. Nobody can pay to move up that list.
Can I plan a trip over more than one day?
Yes. Each day gets its own stops, transport and costs, with a base you come back to at night. Totals run per day and across the whole trip.
What does a tasting cost?
It varies by venue, and every venue page carries its own fee. Some waive it if you buy a bottle, and some charge nothing. Your total adds up as you add stops, so you know the figure before you book.

Start with one cellar door and build out from there.
