You step off Gordon Street into a small, sun-warmed coach and the Hastings River valley opens out like a promise — low rolling vineyards, pockets of eucalypt and the coastline’s pale line in the distance.
This private 5½-hour tasting trail threads boutique cellar doors and a local brewery into a relaxed loop. The Hastings Valley’s viticulture sits on river-alluvial and coastal soils; maritime influence keeps summers moderated and gives many wines a bright acidity. Local producers are a mix of second-generation growers and newer boutique operators who trade on small-batch techniques and on-site tasting rooms. The Birpai people are the traditional custodians of the land here; modern cellar doors increasingly acknowledge that cultural connection.
Between pours you’ll pass dairy country, macadamia groves and stands of native forest that funnel sea breezes inland. The brewery stop (typically Wed–Sat) showcases the region’s craft-beer scene — lagers, session ales and a few experimental batches alongside the wine list.
Practical side: the tour is private (max 11), leaves from the Coach Terminal on Gordon Street and runs about 5.5 hours with tasting fees included. Bring a government ID if you intend to taste or buy bottles to take home; there’s plenty of boot space for purchases. Wear comfortable shoes for short cellar-door walks, layer for coastal breezes, and pace tastings — sip, savor, and hydrate with the bottled water provided. For a quieter visit, aim for midweek or the morning departure to avoid weekend crowds.
