"Urban Legends Brewery and Distillery Tour in the Hunter Valley was THE BEST. We had a bus for 14 which was spacious, clean and air conditioned. Our driver Craig went above and beyond, he also takes a great group photo. All the breweries and distilleries we visited were excellent choices. Beer paddles and spirits paddles were a great way to try different beers and spirits."

The Hunter Valley craft beer experience

Hunter Valley brewery tours done properly.

The best Hunter Valley brewery tours do not happen by accident. They happen when someone who knows the region, knows the brewers and knows how to look after a group plans the whole day for you. That has been us since 2016.

We run guided, all-inclusive craft beer days to the Hunter Valley, 2 hours north of Sydney, from $129 per person. A full day takes in 3 craft breweries and usually a distillery, with behind-the-scenes tastings, beer and spirit paddles and a gourmet lunch built in. Try the ales, the lagers, the hazy IPAs and the ciders, learn how it is all made, then let someone else do the driving.

No queues, no separate entry fees, no one stuck as the designated driver. Your professional guide handles every booking, introduction and the logistics. You just show up thirsty and have the best day.

Want beer and a couple of wineries or a distillery in the mix? Easy, we will tailor it. Already sorted your own venues and just need the bus? We run the 14, 18, 27 and 41-seater fleet to Pokolbin as a private charter too. Hunter Valley bus hire details here.

Bucks party, corporate team day, milestone birthday or hens weekend? Browse the package calendar for live dates and prices, or email Jared to tailor a private day.

Behind the scenes craft beer tasting on a Hunter Valley brewery tour
Behind the scenes, not just a bar

Meet the brewers. Taste the good stuff.

This is not standing at a counter for a quick schooner. We take you behind the scenes at the breweries we have built real relationships with since 2016, so you taste straight from the source and learn how the ales, lagers, hazies and ciders are actually made.

Beer paddles, spirit paddles, the brewers' stories and the small-batch pours you cannot get in a bottle shop. Quality over quantity, every stop.

We book your tastings before you arrive so there are no queues and no separate entry fees. Your exact venues are confirmed at booking and tailored to your group.
How many breweries are on a tour?
A full day visits 3 to 4 craft breweries and usually a distillery, with lunch in between. Prefer a mix? We can swap a brewery for a winery or a distillery so your group gets the perfect blend of beer, wine and spirits. Half day tours visit a brewery or two plus one more stop.

A full day runs about 6 to 8 hours door-to-door, including the roughly 2 hour drive each way from Sydney. We collect your group in the morning and have you back home that evening. Half day options are available for groups who want a shorter run.

Not included: any additional drinks you buy at the bar, cellar door purchases and gratuities. The from $129pp half day and from $169pp full day cover the curated day.
Is a brewery tour good for a bucks party?
Absolutely. We are one of Sydney's most trusted bucks party tour operators and a Hunter Valley brewery day is a favourite. Your group gets the whole private bus, a tailored craft beer itinerary, behind-the-scenes tastings, a distillery stop and lunch, with a safe ride home. Add-ons like golf or lawn games can be built in. It also suits hens parties, milestone birthdays and corporate days.
Do you pick up from outside Sydney, like the Central Coast or Newcastle?
Yes. Door-to-door pickup is included from Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, Maitland or your Hunter Valley accommodation. Staying in Pokolbin, Lovedale or Cessnock? We come straight to you. Email jared@urbanlegendstourco.com with your group address and we will sort the best pickup plan.
Can I hire a private bus without the guided brewery tour?
Yes. If you have already booked your own breweries and just need transport, we offer pure charter hire of our 14, 18, 27 and 41-seater fleet. Sydney to the Hunter Valley is a named long route, so it is priced as a full day rate, not the short airport transfer rate. Email Jared for a charter quote.
