Best food and wine in the Hunter Valley
The Hunter Valley is one of Australia's most popular food and wine regions. Just a 90-minute drive from Sydney, this pretty valley has the dramatic Brokenback Mountain Range as a backdrop and the meandering Hunter River at its heart.
Around 120 wineries are located in small townships from Pokolbin to Rothbury, Mount View To Wollombi, Broke and Lovedale. As a result, wine-tasting is an art form in the Hunter Valley. Some wineries have excellent restaurants, some produce shops, many offer wine-tasting classes and most have cellar doors, often with the winemaker in attendance.
Indulge your tastebuds with a tempting array of cheese, smokehouse goods, chocolates, coffee and olives - all locally produced.
A great way to enjoy a relaxing holiday in the Hunter Valley and sample local food and wine is at one of the region's many events. Highlights include the Hunter Valley Wine and Food Month, held each year in June, the Lovedale Long Lunch in May, and music events that are staged amongst the vineyards during October.
