Coach day tours

Domestic terminals
The Pokolbin and Cessnock fares are the same from T1 International and the T2/T3 domestic terminals. After a domestic landing, the first hour of waiting is free.
Luggage
The Executive SUV carries four passengers and three large bags, and the Premium SUV four passengers and four large bags. Larger groups book two cars on one schedule.
Day trips
For several cellar doors in one day, the 10-hour private day tour from Sydney is $1,250 per car in the Executive Sedan. A wait-and-return to one venue is the return fare plus $90 an hour after the free first hour, so it suits short visits.
