Her favourite people. A few new favourite wines.
Our driver at the wheel, a tasting waiting at every cellar door, the vines doing all the showing off, and the bride on her third "this one's my favourite".
We build the winery day into her whole hens, from the morning pickup to the last toast of the night.
Our winery tour hens packages usually sit around $200 to $400 per person.
at a glance
A morning pickup. A tasting at every stop. One very well-toasted bride.
Different chapters of her life, plenty to talk about over the table, and a photo with the vines behind every one of them.
She gets the best seat and every toast. You get to taste the wine too, and the thank-yous in the group chat, with your name on them.
the verdict
OMG LADIES!! Seriously best weekend of my life. Everyone especially the bride had the best time and we could not Thank you enough for it. Everything went off without a hitch and we have decided we are definitely going to do a reunion tour next year. Haha The limousine was definitely a highlight and our driver was just awesome and the wine tour was so much fun and have become friends with the tour guide who was the coolest person ever. Thank you so much again very much appreciate it! You all deserves medals of honour! Kristen xx
A reunion tour on the cards before the first one's even over. That's a winery day that landed. More real winery days
01 the first pour
The pickup, the first cellar door, lunch, the photo with her girls and the drive home. Five moments, one very happy bride.
A hens winery tour with My Ultimate Hens is a private day in wine country for your group alone: our driver does all the driving, a tasting is booked and waiting at every cellar door, and the bride's only job is picking her favourite drop, from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Perth and Adelaide.
One
Our driver pulls up where it suits you: the city, the hen's house or your accommodation. Bags in, sunnies on, the bride takes the best seat, and the first catch-up starts before the first tasting.
Two
Your tasting is booked and waiting. A row of glasses poured light to dark, bubbles and whites first and the reds last, by someone who genuinely loves this stuff. By the third pour the bride has a favourite and her sister has an opinion about it.
Three
A grazing spread, a picnic or two courses at a winery table. Her oldest friend is halfway through a story, her newest friend is already laughing, and someone's comparing the second wine to the first with great confidence.
Four
One more stop, because the afternoon light is far too good to leave. The girls gather, the bride checks the photo and asks for one more, and you're in it, right beside her.
Five
Windows down, playlist up, a few new favourite wines, a nickname for the driver and absolutely no intention of going home early. The night is only just getting started.
How the day runs. A morning pickup and an afternoon drive home, two or three cellar doors with a tasting at each (often a distillery stop too), and on most of our winery days, lunch. Twelve girls, one bus, and nobody drew the short straw to drive.
And the bride never once asks what's next.
02 the second glass
Five ways to pour it, from a private tour of the cellar doors to a whole weekend near the vines.
From Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Perth and Adelaide
Your group alone, our driver, a tasting booked at every cellar door and a day that runs at her pace. Not a coach of strangers, not somebody else's playlist: just her girls, the vines and the best seat on the bus.
On request
The same cellar doors with a louder ride between them: lights, music and the girls singing the whole way up the valley. The winery run is one of the ways our hens party bus rolls, and a stretch Hummer or a limo is one of the popular personalisations on our winery days. More on hens party transport.
On most of our winery days
The lunch is the event: a long table, grazing boards, cheese, a glass of something cold and the view doing all the work. In the Swan Valley it can be a picnic among the vines. For the bride who loves her food, see hens party ideas for a foodie bride.
On request
For the bride who wants the wine and not the drive: a tasting at a city wine bar or a wine walk, then dinner and the night. Got girls who'd rather shake than sip? There's always cocktail making hens parties.
A night or two near the vines
The winery tour as the centrepiece, with our own accommodation to come home to, robes on, the playlist still going and the cheese board somehow back out. See our hens weekend packages.
A gin, beer or cheese stop can swap in for a cellar door on request, so the girls who'd rather a G&T get their moment too. Love an on-request one? Mention it when you tell us about her.
03 the blend
She has excellent taste. Just look at the guest list.
Real tastings, a host who loves talking about what's in the glass, and the joy of finding a new favourite she'll be ordering for years. Wine knowledge welcome, never required.
School friends, work friends, her sister, her mum. A cellar door gives everyone something to taste and something to talk about, so the different chapters of her life end up at one table.
A long table with a view, good wine and her people, and a conversation she can actually hear. More relaxed hens party ideas.
Cheese, grazing boards, a winery lunch and a matching glass. Wine country is basically one long menu, and she's here for every course.
A small group gets the cosy version, a big group gets one very long table and a singalong that carries down the valley.
They're in every bit of the day: the drive, the views, the lunch, the games and the photo with her girls, and we always organise a non-alcoholic alternative. More hens party ideas for a pregnant bride.
And the quiet bride? She doesn't have to do a thing all day except pick a favourite.
04 the house pour
Our house rules for a winery day, in one breath.
05 the bouquet
The outfit brief is being taken very seriously. The tastings, slightly less so.
White or cream, in a sundress or a linen set, so every photo finds her. A veil or a "bride" sunhat for the vines, and her sunnies for the lookout.
Pick a palette: sage, blush, terracotta or all pink. Sundresses or linen, a hat each, and the group photo takes care of itself.
Dress code for the winery tour: every shade of pink, sundresses or linen, a hat, and shoes that can handle gravel. The bride wears white. Bring a layer for the drive home.
Dress code for the winery tour: sage, terracotta or cream, linen or a sundress, a straw hat, flat sandals or sneakers. The bride is the only one in white.
Dress code for the winery tour: florals, soft colours, a hat and block heels or flats for the lawns. The bride in white with her veil for the photo with the vines behind her.
Dressing for the rest of the day too? Here are our daytime hens outfits.
06 the cellar door
Light enough to play between tastings, sweet enough to take home. Free extras from us, not part of any package.
Her name, her vintage, her finest qualities. Print it for a bottle on every seat, or save it for the group chat.

Best enjoyed with her favourite people
My Ultimate Hens
How: over lunch, someone pours a glass out of her sight; the bride tastes with her eyes closed and calls it: red, white, rosé or bubbles. The girls bet on her answer first.
Win: closest guess picks the next song on the bus. Sitting out: pass, or be the one pouring.
How: over lunch, each girl writes the bride up like a wine: "Hints of loyalty, a long finish, pairs well with karaoke". The bride reads them out.
Prep: a card and a pen each, or her phone.
Win: the bride picks the best one for her label above. Sitting out: write one for the label anyway.
Spot it: someone says "oaky", the bride takes home a bottle, a selfie with the vines behind you, someone asks for "the pink one", a cheese board appears, the driver gets a nickname, a toast to the bride.
Win: first full card gets the front seat home. Sitting out: just watch, it all happens anyway.
More games for the rest of the hens? See hens party games.
Ten songs for the drive up the valley. Copy the list into the group playlist.
The whole hens soundtrack lives with our hens party songs.
07 the cellar price
One price per person, with her whole day built around the vines.
Our winery tour hens packages usually sit around $200 to $400 per person. And the package is the magic: our driver, the tastings at every cellar door, lunch on most of our winery days, then the night, a rooftop or the full weekend, all built around her.
What moves it is the shape of her day: the region, the lunch, the wheels, and whether a big night or a whole weekend follows the vines.

Will the driver and the lunch be good?
Thanks for helping me plan my hens party My Ultimate girls! It was perfect from start to finish and many glasses of wine were had. The luncheon had great views and was substantial as promised, and our driver Nikki kept us entertained all day, all the girls said it was the best hens they have been on which made me feel very blessed! Thankyou again and a special thanks to Nyree for ensuring the pickup and drop off times worked for all of my friends and that we made it to all the wineries on the day, and for your bubbly personality always making me smile in the leadup too. Thanks again ladies, love Beth L soon to be Beth B!
Will the whole crew have a good time?
Hello Ash,I would just like to say thank you so much for the organisation of my hens day, all the girls had a great time and our bus driver rodge was fantastic. you guys do an amazing job. I have already passed the details on my ultimate on to a few friends as I think you guys are great! :)Regards, Amy
Is it easy to organise?
The girls and I all enjoyed the well organised wine tour of the Hunter Valley. It made planning the day easy, and you driver was great! Thank you so much!

Is the day really about the bride?
Dear My Ultimate, Just wanted to send a MASSIVE thank you for the amazing wine tour that was on Saturday for our bride to be Clytie. We seriously had the best day and it's all thanks to you guys. Our driver John is just a sweetheart and we wanted to personally thank him too, he was so patient and enjoyable to have along with us for the day. Thanks guys, I can't wait to use you guys again in the future.
Three drivers named by name, and not one designated driver among the girls. Sounds about right.

13 asked a lot
Everything organisers ask us before the first pour.
Our driver collects your group in the morning from the city, the hen's house or your accommodation, takes you to two or three cellar doors where a tasting is booked and waiting, stops for lunch among the vines on most of our winery days, and brings everyone back in the afternoon, so the bride spends the day tasting and laughing, not organising.
Our winery tour hens packages usually sit around $200 to $400 per person, with the driver, the tastings and her whole day built around the vines. Pick her city to see them.
Our hens winery tours run from a morning pickup to an afternoon drive home, and the night after is yours to fill: dinner, a rooftop or the dance floor.
No. Private transport with a My Ultimate Hens driver is included in every winery tour, so everyone can taste.
Our tours stop at two or three cellar doors, often with a distillery stop too, which is the pace that keeps the day fun and the night still on.
The girls wear a sundress or linen in a matching palette with a hat, the bride wears white or cream, and everyone wears shoes that can handle gravel and grass, with a layer for the drive home. More on daytime hens outfits.
They're part of every bit of the day, the drive, the views, the lunch, the games and the photo with her girls, and we always organise a non-alcoholic alternative. More hens party ideas for a pregnant bride.
Six of you or thirty, it works a treat: a small group gets the cosy version and a big group gets one very long table. Tell your package consultant your numbers when you tell us about her.
Yes. The winery run is one of the ways our hens party bus rolls, on request, and a stretch Hummer or a limo is one of the popular personalisations on our winery days.

Yes, on request: a tasting at a city wine bar or a wine walk, then dinner and the night, for the bride who wants the wine and not the drive.
Only if you want it to be. The day is as loud as the playlist on the bus, and the last cellar door can lead straight to dinner, a rooftop and the dance floor.
Questions about booking, payments and the rest? Every My Ultimate Hens question, answered.
The last cellar door, the golden light, the bride with a glass of the one she's now ordering for the wedding, and every one of her girls around her. And when they ask whose idea the winery day was? That was you.
