Just two hours’ north of Sydney, you’ll fall in love with Australia’s oldest wine region, responsible for producing some of the best wines in the world such as the iconic Hunter Valley semillon. With more cellar doors than any other wine region in Australia, you’ll barely scratch the surface during your wine weekend.
Are you ready to delve into the very best things to do in the Hunter Valley? Here is how to make the most of your next Hunter Valley getaway.
With over 150 cellar doors to visit, there are over 150 reasons to return to the Hunter Valley again and again. From big-name wineries to boutique bottlers, Australia’s oldest wine region has it all. As frequent travellers to the region, we’ve rounded up the must-visit Hunter Valley wineries to help you narrow down your winery itinerary, or you could always join our pick of winery tours, too.
It’s a choose-your-own-adventure kind of destination and non-wine drinkers won’t be disappointed.
