No matter how you like to unplug from the world, The Hunter region has you covered. Whether it’s tippling on world-class wines in striking cellar doors (Hunter Valley); taking the road slowly travelled on horseback (Upper Hunter); or pitching a tent by a quiet river (Barrington Tops), there will be endless opportunities to disconnect.
At just over two hours from Sydney, the Hunter Valley is the perfect place for a long weekend escape. In this beautiful region it’s all about good food, great wine and switching off from city life.
Meet the winemakers from Australia’s oldest wine region, the Hunter Valley. Sample the legendary Hunter Valley semillon and discover what makes this region’s wines so distinctive.
