🍷 Indulge in the Best of Hunter Valley
With the longest winemaking tradition in Australia, the Hunter Valley is a must-visit for travellers who appreciate exceptional wine, food, and breathtaking scenery. The Tyrrell family has been producing their iconic Hunter Semillon here for over 150 years, setting the benchmark for this world-renowned varietal.
This region is more than just vines—it’s a gourmet destination. Take in sweeping vineyard views from acclaimed restaurants like Bistro Molines or Audrey Wilkinson, both offering unforgettable culinary moments. Hunter Valley is also home to Chef’s Hat-awarded restaurants, including Bistro Molines and Muse, making it the ideal spot for fine dining between tastings.
Wine lovers can enjoy VIP tasting experiences at Tyrrell’s Wines, Glandore Estate (Cellar Door of the Year), or Brokenwood Wines—three of the most iconic wineries in the region.
For something a little more off-the-beaten-track, Krinklewood Estate offers a biodynamic vineyard experience in a tranquil outdoor setting—perfect for nature lovers and those looking for a slower pace.
And while Lakes Folly produces exceptional Chardonnay and Cabernet in very limited quantities, the cellar door is often closed or sold out, making it an unpredictable stop. That said, their wines are some of the finest in the region—be sure to check the wine lists at premium restaurants like Bistro Molines or Muse, where you might be lucky enough to enjoy a bottle during lunch.
Want to arrive in style? Opt for helicopter transfers between vineyards or even direct from Sydney for an unforgettable way to experience the Hunter from above.
