Pours & Pinot - Pup Dates is Going to the Hunter Valley
Hornsby Train Station, Meet oustide the station (steps at the walkway), Hornsby, AU# Pup Dates Hunter Valley Wine Escape
## Three exceptional cellar doors, a luxury coach and one Very Important Pup beside you
Join Pup Dates for an intimate day of wine, beautiful scenery and indulgence in the Hunter Valley—created especially for you and your VIP: Very Important Pup.
With places limited to just 12 VIPs and their people, this exclusive experience offers a relaxed and elegant way to explore the Hunter Valley without worrying about driving—or leaving your pup behind.### Your Hunter Valley experience
Our day begins at 8:00 am at Hornsby Station, where you and your VIP will board our luxury air-conditioned coach. Unlike most Hunter Valley tours, your pup will have their own dedicated seat, so you can both travel comfortably.
Our first destination is Charteris Wines at Peppers Creek Village. You’ll have time to explore the beautiful complex, stretch your legs and unwind before enjoying our first guided wine tasting.
We’ll then settle in for lunch at the highly sought-after Café Enzo. Rather than adding the cost and restrictions of a set-menu lunch—typically at least $65 per person in the Hunter Valley—each guest will order and pay for their own meal. This gives you the freedom to choose exactly what you would like, according to your individual tastes, appetite and budget.
After lunch, we travel to Peterson House, renowned for its sparkling wines. Along with our second tasting, you’ll have time to explore the complex and visit the Hunter Valley Chocolate Company, where a delicious chocolate fondue cup is included in your ticket.
Our final destination is the magnificent Audrey Wilkinson Vineyard. Set high among the vines, it offers some of the most spectacular views in the Hunter Valley. We’ll enjoy our final tasting, take in the scenery and capture a few beautiful photographs before boarding the coach for our journey home.
We expect to arrive back at Hornsby Station at approximately 6:00 pm, subject to traffic.## Your $200 ticket includes
- Return travel from Hornsby in a luxury air-conditioned coach
- A separate coach seat for your VIP
- Visits to three outstanding Hunter Valley cellar doors
- All three wine-tasting experiences
- A chocolate fondue cup at the Hunter Valley Chocolate Company
- A Pup Dates gift bag containing gifts for both you and your pup

Please note: Lunch at Café Enzo is ordered and paid for individually, allowing every guest to choose a meal that suits their tastes and budget without being restricted to an expensive set menu.
