Tour description
Celebrate the festive season with a magical two-day escape to the beautiful Hunter Valley, combining spectacular Christmas lights, regional flavours, picturesque countryside and plenty of time to relax and enjoy the company of fellow travellers.
Our journey begins with morning tea at scenic Mangrove Creek Dam before travelling through historic Wollombi and over Mount View, surrounded by the rolling vineyards and countryside of the Hunter Valley. After a relaxed picnic lunch at Gardens Village Park, we’ll sample some of the region’s delicious produce with a local wine tasting and visit to the Hunter Valley Cheese Factory.
We’ll then settle into the Mercure Resort Hunter Valley Gardens before enjoying a traditional festive dinner with all the trimmings. As darkness falls, it’s time for the highlight of our getaway – the spectacular Hunter Valley Gardens Christmas Lights. More than one million twinkling lights transform the gardens, with glowing tunnels, giant baubles, themed displays, music and Christmas characters creating a wonderful festive atmosphere.
The following morning, we return to Hunter Valley Gardens to experience its beautifully landscaped grounds by daylight, with time to wander amongst the floral displays. Our day continues with a tempting visit to Hunter Valley Chocolates before travelling to Lake Macquarie for a relaxed two-course waterfront lunch.
With accommodation, meals, tastings, attractions and luxury coach travel included, this easy-paced Christmas getaway is a wonderful way to celebrate the season.

Testimonials
We have just returned from a 4 day tour to Young. We enjoyed the trip very much, and this was largely due to our tour leader/driver, Hans. He is a particularly likeable young man and his patience and attention to all our needs were 100%. He would be the best tour leader that we have encountered on the many bus tours we have taken both here in Australia and overseas. Please convey our grateful thanks to Hans for making our Young tour so enjoyable.
Your sincerely, J and M.
Re-trip to Dubbo and Mudgee. On behalf of the small group from our club. I would like to thank you for organising such a great five day tour. The accommodation was great with the staff at both. Venues very helpful. Our driver, Hans, as always, was extremely caring and helped to make everyone feel comfortable and part of a happy and friendly travel group. Look forward to future travel with On Course.
