Q. How many wineries can you usually visit in a day?
A.Depending on the size of the group....tours from Sydney are usually 10 hours. Given that there's 5 hours in travelling time (2.5 hours each way) leaves 5 hours in the Hunter Valley for wineries. Also, adding an hour for lunch leaves about 4 hours to visit the wineries. Large groups can take 45 minutes to an hour per winery and smaller groups 30 minutes plus.
