Navigating Your D'Vine Experience
Shuttle Buses
One of the best things about attending the D'Vine Festival is that on Saturday you don't need to worry about a designated driver - we have arranged transport!
Shuttle bus transport between venues on Saturday is included in your Festival ticket. Shuttle buses begin at the event hubs, Glandore Wines and Hunter Wine Lab, from 10am - 4:30pm Saturday & Sunday. If you're staying in the thick of the Festival, (Hermitage Road, Deasy's Road and Mistletoe Lane) our shuttle busses can even pick you up in the mornings from 9:30 am and drop you and your goodies back to your accommodation after a full day of indulgence. Traditionally guests have opted to self drive on Sunday as they usually have a designated driver to head home later in the day. If however you will be staying longer and would like transport on Sunday, please reach out. If there is enough interest we will put a smaller bus service on Sunday.
If you would like to be picked up from your Around Hermitage Accommodation, or you would like to discuss Sunday transport, please email tickets@d-vine.com.au
Night Time Events
Night time events are also covered by this pass, but be sure to email us at tickets@d-vine.com.au once you've bought your bus pass. We'll need to know your accommodation location and the numbers of your group. We will then add you to the transport list and give you a pick-up time. This is ONLY available for people staying in accommodation on Hermitage Road, Deasy's Road and Mistletoe Lane. If in doubt, please call Rachel on 0499 908 397.
Transport to the Hubs
If you're not staying locally, you can book affordable transfers to the Festival Hubs, more info coming soon.
These trips service Newcastle, Maitland, Cessnock, Singleton, Huntlee, Branxton and in between. Prices include pick up and drop off to and from your accommodation
Self Drive
You are welcome to self drive, but some events have limited parking. If you cannot park, you may have to leave your car at a hub and catch a shuttle bus. Your Festival ticket includes shuttle bus transfers between venues for Saturday.

Bikes
Hermitage Road is famous for it's fantastic 9km sealed bike path! Feel free to bring your bike or E-bike to ride between locations. Alternatively there are bike hires available, but should be booked in advance. You may want to organise pick up and drop off of your bike with your accommodation provider.
