Food and wine in the Hunter

The Hunter region includes the premier wine-growing regions of the Hunter Valley and the Upper Hunter. The crisp Hunter semillon and the ripe Hunter shiraz are loved at home and abroad; match a Hunter wine with superb cuisine for the perfect food and wine experience.

Best NSW wine regions

New South Wales is the place for stocking up on good quality wine direct from the cellar door. Since the first grapevine was planted at Sydney Cove in 1788, the wine industry in NSW has flourished.

Visitors will find acclaimed semillon and shiraz in the Hunter Valley region, just a 90 minute drive north of Sydney. More than 120 wineries are surrounded by pastoral beauty, an array of boutique food producers, fine dining and accommodation options. Pioneering families the Draytons and Margans both offer wine and cheese tasting tours, while Harringans Irish Pub in nearby Pokolbin is a charming choice for dinner.

Rich ripe reds can be found far north in Mudgee where the delicate-climate produces powerful, yet subtle cabernet sauvignon and shiraz varieties. Designated driver tours are available to explore the generous region so you can have a worry-free, wine-filled day. Don't miss the Wine Festival and Mudgee Wine Show in September.
