Award-Winning Food and Wine Region
The Hunter Valley, a two hour drive north of Sydney, is known as the premier wine growing district in Australia with a history dating back to the early 1800s. Along with being one of the largest river valleys on the New South Wales coast, it is home to more than 80 wineries. The Hunter Valley holds wine vineyards from world-renowned brands to family-run boutiques. Most of the vineyards offer wine tastings as well as vineyard tours that cover everything from grape-growing methods to the wine-producing process and wine appreciation. The Hunter Valley is also known for its gourmet cuisine. Dine at award-winning restaurants where you’ll enjoy seasonably prepared dishes paired with vintage wines.
A great way to experience the Hunter Valley is on a scenic drive or leisurely bike ride through the Valley’s charming villages. If you’re feeling adventurous, wake up extra early and go float above the vineyards in an exciting hot air balloon ride more than 2,000 feet in the air. Whether it’s browsing through vineyards or soaring over them, the Hunter Valley is an exciting and relaxing place to discover.
This is a must-see place for all wine and food lovers. The tour of the winery is so informative and tasting the wine is even better!
